BBC presenter Michelle Ackerley has announced her pregnancy on the BBC programme Morning Live. The news comes after Ackerley’s struggle with endometriosis and infertility. She noted that the journey to pregnancy has been an emotional rollercoaster, especially coming to terms with the mental and physical impact of endometriosis. She shared her experience with the aim of creating a sense of community among women going through similar experiences. Endometriosis, which affects around 1.5 million women in the UK, can lead to painful or heavy periods, fatigue, bowel and bladder problems, and even infertility.
