Will I ever feel normal?

Question

This is my first successful pregnancy, 12 weeks tomorrow. I feel like I’ve had the worst hangover of my life since week 6. I don’t want to eat or drink water, standing, walking, doing anything besides sleeping and laying on the couch is out of the question. I’m down in the dumps because I feel like I’m being a bad spouse and not doing my part around the house. My husband is super supportive and if anything he caters to my needs and is very understanding, but I still feel bad. Will I ever feel human again or is this what I’m in for the next 196 days? 😢

Answer

ive not felt normal since before pregnancy... I'm 36 weeks now and all I cam focus on is how much better I will feel after I delivery this baby. 
for every woman pregnancy is different. worst case, you're miserable for 196 more days, best case, you'll feel better soon!
I was not lucky and have had a terrible time with this pregnancy, but it doesnt mean you'll have the same. 
good luck

Answer

Dont worry this is so common. I thought i was lazy before pregnancy but boy was i wrong. Im super sloth now. Currently 27 weeks. I wake up late, sleep a lot, sometimes i dont eat all day, sometimes i eat junk food and sometimes ill eat properly. I started drinking fizzy stuff which isnt me. I always need to lie down, standing up is tiring.  I take vitamins, not regulary but i do try. I remember the first 14 weeks my sickness was so bad and then after itd come and go and tapered off. Sometimes im still sick now. I totally get the hangover feeling. You just feel weak. I do feel normal every once in a while. Just make sure you make the most of that day! Everyone is different and next week you could be feeling normal. Or this could last on and off till you've gave birth!  People say the second trimester is the easy one but i dont think so. The best advice is eating a lot healthier cos food is fuel and fruit and veg would so help. I know the answer but im too lazy lmao. Just get in to a routine while its still early days and rest. Baby making is hard!!

Answer

All I can say is it wont last forever. But the tiredness is very draining. All woman are different but the second trimester your energy should come back if not just a little.  If You can sleep it will help.
