N2  - Objectives: Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is characterized byfatigue that has not improved with rest and has continued for at least sixmonths and also by four of the following symptoms; memory and concentrationproblems, myalgia, arthralgia, headache, sleep disturbance, recurrent throatpain and sensitive lymph nodes. The pregnancy period is a physiological processin which similar complaints can be seen in association with various hormonal,metabolic and anatomical changes. In our study, we investigated the frequencyof symptoms of CFS that can interfere with pregnancy.Materials and Methods: This studywas performed with 224 pregnant women without any chronic systemic disease. A surveyform including sociodemographic characteristics and pregnancy information andsymptoms and findings of CFS were applied to the pregnants. The results were evaluatedaccording to the CFS diagnostic criteria in the guideline for diagnosis andtreatment of CDC and Bruce M. Carruthers et al. Results: According to CDC 24 (10.7%) pregnant women andaccording to the diagnosis and treatment guide, 8 pregnant women (3.5%) wereevaluated as CFS. The most common complaints in pregnancy are; fatigue afterexercise in 75% (n = 168), sensitivity to light, sound and smell in 58.9% (n =132) and excessive sleep or less sleep in 53.6%(n=120).Conclusion: The fact that many signs and symptoms are commonbetween CFS and pregnancy necessitates that doctors following-up pregnant womenshould carefully evaluate every complaint belonging to the pregnancy.
