older first time mum

[minesacheeseandpicklesandwich]

I know 38 isn't that old but right now I feel ancient. I'm 20 weeks tomorrow with my first and so far have had three bouts of sinusitus (previous condidtion seemingly made worse), a nasty flu-like cold (I know it's been going around, but still) and a continuing fatigue like I've only experienced before when recovering from a bad virus. It seems that normal life is denied to me and having what would once have been a normal weekend of housework and friends round now leaves me on the couch or in bed for a couple of days.
Is this what I should expect for the next 20 weeks or can I please start to bloom soon?

Congratulations

Cant promise you are going to bloom, my lst pg was horrible, i felt unwell for the whole 9 months, but generally once you get past 20 weeks, you should usually start to feel brighter, here hoping anyway
