Almost 15 weeks and still feeling a bit rough

[Motherof1and2dogs]

I am no where near as bad as what I was from the weeks 7-12 (this was horrendous and so glad I am not at this stage anymore) however I am coming up to 15 weeks and still feel like I need to nap daily, so short of breath when I do the most basic of chores, occasional headaches, fussy with what I want to eat, sometimes feeling a little nauseous and just exhausted. Is all this normal even though I am out of my first trimester? I was hoping it would be the end by week 13 and I would get this burst of energy you hear about when you reach second trimester. I never had any of this with my first, it was a breeze and I didn't suffer at all so it's hard for me to know what is normal.

Yep! I'm with you haha. I'm 30 weeks and am only just getting a break from the nausea/sickness after holding onto hope for so long that it would ease after 16 weeks. The tiredness is on and off, I'm actually already on maternity leave cause it's been so rough. It'll be so worth it though, hey? You got this mama x

The second trimester thing is a myth in my experience - it doesn't exist!

First pregnancy my sickness did stop around week 14-15 but it was replaced by other things like dental problems, appalling skin and heartburn. I also got appendicitis then my pre-eclampsia symptoms started.

Second/ current pregnancy I'm still suffering occasional sickness now at 30 weeks although it did improve a lot since 19/20 weeks. I've had issues with mouth ulcers since then though, low BP causing faints and falls and backache. The heartburn is bad again too.
