hello!
i dont remember feeling this bad 1st or 2nd time around, but....baby brain!! :-)
i'm 14 weeks pregnant with our 3rd.
since just after christmas i've had a cold pretty much all the time, it'll be here 4 a few weeks, then ease off 4 a few days, tehn the cycle continues-this ones keeping me up at night, sore throat and cough-which now hurts my tummy 2 cough as i've been doing it so much :-(
plenty of headaches
completely exhausted i dont even know how i'm going to manage 2 get to or through work on sunday and monday-even standing up cooking dinner or getting up to go to the loo feels like so much effort
give me a pillow and i'll fall asleep [yawn]

think this is where i need some reassurance that i'm, not the only one feeling like this

Weeeelll - it is normal to feel tireder when you have children to look after when pregnant, and they're smearing you in any bug they can lay their paws on, BUT that said, it's a good idea, I think, to go to your GP so that you can get things checked out - make sure your bp and iron levels are ok, etc, and that the headaches aren't anything pg-related. I'm not saying that I think what you're experiencing isn't normal, iyswim, but I do think it's important for many reasons to keep an extra check on your health when pregnant, so I'd go and see your GP.

Hope you feel better soon.

Ah bless u, thanku! I know i have low blood pressure bt i'm used 2 that (add lightheaded 2 the list), and with previous 2 pregnancies i was anaemic, v.bad with the 1st. Im not vegetarian thru cruelty 2 animals, its just that 11years ago i didnt like many meats,bt the thought of eating meat even just thru pregnancy, tho i prob should 4 the iron, makes me feel sick :-( . Got midwife in 2weeks (on my birthday) will speak 2 her about it all then. I'm assuming you're doing well :-)
