14 weeks and still exhausted?!

Hi Mums,

Suppose I am just looking for similar stories so I’m not alone! Found out I was expecting mid March around 5 ish weeks, and I’m now 14+2 and I’m still feeling completely exhausted - even walking up the stairs can take it out of me?!

I was really drained early on with severe nausea and headaches, and the nausea has since eased (thank goodness) and I definitely have a little bit more energy I still find myself going to bed super early, or just lying on the sofa watching TV for hours because I have no energy for anything else. I am still going for an hour long walk with the dog because I know I need to keep active, but once I’ve done that I am done for the rest of the day. Anyone else feeling completely drained of energy and just shattered all the time?

This is my first pregnancy and a surprise baby, so I don’t think I was really prepared at all.

For me it's a combination of sleeping badly at night and possible vitamin deficiencies - last pregnancy I was anaemic, and this pregnancy I was really, really exhausted and got cracks around my mouth - turns out I was deficient in vitamin B. Feeling a lot better now I'm on extra supplements.
