    • Women perceived pregnancy as a path toward normality, contrasting with their chronic illness.
    • Pregnancy involved balancing the desire for normalcy with the reality of chronic disease.
    • Participants reported both benefits and challenges, including physical changes, vigilance, emotional demands, and information overload.

    Conclusions:

    • Pregnancy can modify chronic illness trajectories, elevate stress, and introduce new healthcare needs.
    • Increased stress in chronic illness during pregnancy may impact perinatal outcomes.
    • Interventions supporting women in managing the dualities of pregnancy and chronic illness symptoms are recommended.
