Hello ladies,
I have had moderate ME/CFS for 10 years (feel ill and exhausted all the time, not able to work, unable to walk far, restricted to short trips out etc). I have a beautiful 4 year old son, and have just found out I am expecting no. 2! Although it wasn't entirely planned, we have been discussing the idea of a second for a long time, and having all the usual debates about whether we'd cope that all parents with long term chronic illnesses must go through.
I know there are other ladies on here with ME/CFS but as all the pregnancy and birth posts related to it are rather old, I thought I'd start a new one! So....am I alone? Or are there other fellow sufferers out there expecting??
I'd love to chat to someone else in a similar position, as this can be such a lonely and isolating illness. I sometimes feel that there is no-one else out there struggling to just be normal and raise a family, but I know that isn't true. I'd love to compare notes...and be reassured that I'm not totally mad having another!!!
Hope to hear from someone soon!
Laura
