19 weeks and feeling down :(

Just after a bit of reassurance really.

I will be 19 weeks into my second pregnancy tomorrow - I had twins 2.5 years ago so have been 'expecting' this pregnancy to be different.

I feel rough. As before, have felt sick but not been sick, and at the moment (and so early on!) I can barely walk anywhere without feeling I am going to pass out or be sick after about 10 minutes.

It's possible I have had a virus of some description as I have had an awful cough for about 4 weeks and for about a week (sorry TMI) have had diarrhea. I am also getting headaches, to the point where for about 3 weeks now I have been taking 4 paracetamol a day (not all in one go).

I was sure I was feeling some movement last week, but it was just that fluttery, windy feeling so I'm not sure.

I just feel so rough, have slept for 3 hours this afternoon and feel horrid still. Feel awful as well that because I feel ill, my patience is so low and I don't want to do anything with my boys. Right now I'm feeling really guilty about wanting this new baby when I can barely cope with the 2 I have and a pregnancy :(

Sorry just feeling down, am seeing doc and midwife tomorrow but on the run up to the appointment am getting worried :(

No real advice, just didn't want to read and not post. Sounds like you're poorly so good news that you're off to the docs. I guess just take it easy, drink lots and try and distract yourself until your appointment. No reason to think anything bad is happening with baby, lots of people have stop/start feelings re movement as this stage but just ring your local mw or labour ward if you're really worried before tomorrow.

Poor you. It does sound like you have some kind of bug you're fighting off so feel run down and generally rotten. No wonder you're struggling to have patience and cope well with your DC. I'm sure once you overcome this and start feeling better your mood will improve too. Don't be too hard on yourself and hope you're feeling much better soon.
