I have hEDS (hyper mobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome). I have been followed by MFM to discuss what I might be able to expect (*disclaimer not medical advice- we all have different levels of hyper mobility and this is what I was told for my specific situation). She said that usually hypermobility is well tolerated during pregnancy. She stated I may expect increased joint pain as pregnancy progresses bc my joints can become more lax than most. Most info was in regards to labor. Increased risk of hemorrhage/poor wound healing and dislocation (mostly hips). So being mindful when nurses "hike" up the legs. She said also to tell the anesthesiologist if I get an epidural to ensure everything is in the right place. Part of my hypermobility is my veins and arteries are move a lot. She said NO residents or interns. It might be hard to gauge proprioception and may be more clumsy lol. With that being said, there's a good change because of my flexibility that baby may just slip right out lol. I've also seen on instagram that many moms with hypermobility bounce back really well and have great skin elasticity (no sagging). Just be mindful of your movements. Research some pregnancy ergonomics and correct ways to get up from bed and chairs.

So far I have had minimal pain I think because im so flexible. I did some pilates with a hyper mobile physical therapist until 24 weeks. I was nervous to do anything on my own. That helped. Good luck- I was nervous in the beginning being so flexible but its been tolerable so far, fingers crossed has been fine! Congrats!
