Scanned a thread today (can't remember which one now) which included the immortal line "Pregnancy is NOT an illness"
of course technically its not an illness but it CAN make you feel lousy, tired, sick, depressed, hormonal.
and you CAN get any manner of ailments that they put down to just pregnancy (personally I've had a retinal hemmorhage with DS and developed pregnancy-induced asthma with DD)
so, my question is .. if you feel lousy through pregnancy, why can't you term it an illness? even if you do get a baby at the end
