why do i feel like this in the afternoon?

[mad4mybaby]

am 17 weeks and i have a light healthy lunch but in the afternoon i feel awful. Quite often feel sick, feel heavy, no energy and really have no appetite for tea. Any ideas? Bloods are fine.

its on the low side but not anything to worry about. What can i eat/drink to help? Im only drinking water as cant face anything else even juice!

Peppermint tea is great for digestion.

Definitely think peppermint tea or milk if they appeal. If they don't, they probably won't help so don't force yourself. Gaviscon is always worth a try.

Unfortunately for the first three and the last three months of pregnancy, I always felt knackered between 2pm and 4pm. Felt guilty about being shit at work as had the almost uncontrollable urge to curl up under my desk.

Maybe a breath of fresh air might help?

I'm afraid it just sounds like pregnancy to me.

I fell asleep at my desk so often with DS2 that my lovely boss brought a blankie in to put over me. Honest.
cried when he retired

Oh pagwatch. I love your old boss!
