I too suffer from pseudo tumor cerebri and lupus. The amount of fluid in my head has increased with pregnancy and makes me feel increased dizziness and all around uncomfortable. Headaches and ear pain have increased. Currently been waiting to see neurologist to see how much more it will affect me during pregnancy. How far are you?

I have severe asthma that has already forced me to be admitted into the hospital for a couple days. I know its just going to get worse as the baby continues to grow.

I'm sorry to hear that ); I have an auto immune disease, fibromyalgia, and hypothyroidism which can affect my pregnancy. I am being seen by a high-risk specialist team to help monitor me and my baby. Are you being seen by high risk prenatal doctors?
