Hi... First and foremost is to find a trustworthy professional and stick to your treatment. Somatic Symptom Disorder (SSD) or Somatoform Disorder is a condition where physical symptoms are created without any physical cause. The diagnosis requires a thorough physical examination and ruling out other possible physical causes. Once it is found that there is no physical cause, diagnosis of SSD is given. I hope this diagnosis is coming from a Psychiatrist. If not, please consult a Psychiatrist first. Coming to your query. Yes, it can be treated with CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) and other Counselling/ Psychotherapy methods without using Medications. I guess you are having some false physical symptoms related to your pregnancy, if that is the case do keep your Gynaecologist in loop about any diagnosis or treatment. CBT or any other Psychotherapy or Counselling do not have any side effects. So you can always take them from a authentic source (professional/institution).
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist.
CBT along with Supportive Counselling is required.
Treatment need to work upon improving your daily life functioning rather than just focusing on your symptoms.
