I'm 5 weeks 3 days pregnant and this is new to me

I'm not sure if imagining it but I feel like I've no energy, motivation to do anything.

I feel queasy sometimes and just generally quite run down, lethargic.

Is this normal..??

I think my hubby thinks I'm putting it on but I'm not.

It's all completely normal!! I'm 6wks pregnant with my third and feel EXACTLY the same! (Mind you, having a 4 and 2.5 year old to look after doesn't help my energy levels!)

I['m sure my hubby thinks I put it on too. Grrrrr.

Totally normal...I'm still like this at 15+3 too!

Hope you feel more like yourself soon

Utterly normal! I was 5 weeks pregnant when I took a test and the reason I took the test was BECAUSE I felt like that.
It typically will go away after the first trimester, some people find its gone by 8 weeks or sooner, I didn't stop feeling drained until about 20 weeks :(
Just put your feet up & rest all the time.
& Congratulations!

My husband doesn't get that it "comes and goes" so one day I'm knackered the next OK, same with appetite and sickness.

SOOO normal. I'm 13 + 4 and while I'm finally less exhausted, i'm totally unmotivated and only happy on the couch looking at all things baby online!

Few that's a relief I thought I was being a hypercondriac....

As for hubby - I sent him a few links to articles saying about being 5/6 weeks preggers and that your tired etc

I think he feels bad as he now taking me out somewhere nice for me tea :-)

Hopefully I can find the energy for that :-)

Totally normal.... and my hubby was the same. I only started getting any credit/sympathy when it was obvious i was pregnant... its like they need a visual for it to be real lol.

Perfectly normal. The first time round my husband was bemused by it, this time (15 weeks in) he is perfectly accepting of me wandering off to bed at 9PM some nights.
