Hi all, I'm 17 weeks pregnant and apart from a really bad week of sickness and overall extreme tiredness in my first trimester, I didn't suffer hugely compared to what I know some people go through. Since hitting my second trimester, I've been feeling that renewed energy and the sickness totally went until last week. I started feeling really unwell again and had food aversion plus pretty awful headaches that intensified when standing up. I also needed to sleep a lot and spent days in bed.
It feels like it's lifting now (touch wood!) but I'm wondering if anyone else experienced this and if there's anything I can do to stop it happening in future. I guess a lot of this stuff is outside of our control so probably not, but I had just returned from a trip abroad where I was quite active and busy with seeing family so I wonder if being a bit run down and flying had anything to do with it. Maybe there's also some developmental stuff happening at this stage that just takes its toll? I'd appreciate any insights!
