Having a rant. Only 5 weeks and wiped out

I’m only 5+5 and I feel absolutely rubbish. Since last Saturday (exactly 5 weeks) I’ve had a bad tummy where I’m going for a number 2 twice or max 3 times a day… I also feel sick but not throwing up. I feel extremely weak, tired and wiped out . I slept from 11pm-7am last night/this morning without waking up once ( I usually wake up all the time due to anxiety and take ages to get back to sleep). You would’ve thought I’d be refreshed after 8hrs of uninterrupted sleep. But today I’ve had 3x naps.

I fell back to sleep 7.30am-8.30am

Then had a nap at 11.30am - 1.30pm

Then just now 5.30-6.15pm.

grateful my husband and I work from home and don’t go in the office. I’m so grateful he’s been able to let me rest today as Thursdays my son doesn’t go to nursery and I dont work that day. Today I’ve been in bed most of the day. I usually go for a 1hr daily walk but haven’t left the house for 3 days bcos I feel rubbish. I already have my 3 year old boy and have had 2x missed miscarriages + 2x chemicals in total so Im well aware of what morning sickness is like but I’ve never felt this wiped out early on. Anyway, just wanted to hear any other similar stories so I can feel better about myself lol

I remember the early pregnancy fatigue hitting me like a bus second and third time around - way worse than my first pregnancy!
I put it down to the fact that it was normal pregnancy tiredness, coupled with chasing around after 1 or 2 toddlers all day 🤷🏻‍♀️
Be kind to yourself! Growing a whole person is hard without having other children to take care of. If your body is telling you to rest, rest whenever you can. Hopefully you’ll feel better once the second trimester arrives 🤞🏻🤞🏻🖤
