Pregnant with ME/CFS

Hi ladies

I was just wondering if anyone is in the same situation as me. I'm pregnant with my fourth baby but this is my first pregnancy with ME/CFS.

I am struggling with the exhaustion and have had migraines too which I usually get quite frequently when I'm not pregnant.

Are there any tips people can give please?

I have fibromyalgia and CFS (as well as other things but they aren't necessarily relevant to this). I have also had a hyperemesis pregnancy thus far (21+6 currently).
I can't lie it's tough, I was off work for a couple of months and still on reduced hours. If I take it easy I can generally stay on top of flare ups, but if I do even a bit too much things get really bad. It's basically like going back to learning how to pace, but starting new every day 😂

I really hope you are able to stay on top of it, and do listen to your body and put your health first!
