15-16 weeks and suddenly feeling awful?

Hi everyone, I'm nearly 16 weeks and I had nausea most days from about 4 weeks - 11 weeks, with a brief respite around week 8 for a few days. Nothing horrendous and I was never sick, but I was very tired and I felt nauseous most of the time - only thing that made it better was eating little and often. All fairly normal I think.

Around 12 weeks my nausea started to subside and I was generally feeling much better, pretty textbook timing. However the last week or so I have been feeling horrendous, much worse than 1st trimester, exhausted all the time, nausea that won't go away and terrible headaches. Is this normal?! I thought it was meant to get better in the 2nd trimester! I've had a few appointments over the last couple of weeks (16w midwife appt, GP check up, bloods with nurse, consultant!) and each time my blood pressure has been pretty low but nothing drastic, about 100/60. Could this be causing it? Anyone else experienced similar? Thanks!

I’m 16+5 and yet to experience that 2nd trimester glow I keep hearing about.
I’m tired, nauseous off and on and grumpy.

I'm just horribly constipated but have noticed I get wobbly after standing up for long periods. 15+2 today

I've been the same. Nausea/fatigue until 14 weeks but no sickness (unlike with DD when I was sick every day until 18 weeks). Hit 19 weeks and started throwing up and feel horrendous! Now 24 weeks and exhausted! Nothing medically wrong just the joys of pregnancy.
