Am I sick, run down or is this just normal pregnancy?
I'm 22 weeks pregnant. About a month ago I had a shocking case of gastro (ended up in hossie on a drip). A week or so later I got a mild cold, nothing too bad. Now I'm 3 weeks on and I just feel lousy - but nothing specific I can put my finger on. I still cough occasionally and my nose is a bit runny, sometimes headachy or just thick-headed. I don't have a cough, earache, nausea. Mostly I just don't feel right. My toddler has been sleeping like a little darling (bless him), so I'm getting a full night's sleep - so I don't know why I feel so foul. DS has just been napping for 2 hours, by the time I had lunch I couldn't get off the sofa even though there's plenty to be done. Is this just normal pregnancy with a toddler? I just really thought I should feel a bit better than this!
I mentioned it to my obs yesterday who really didn't care (i'm sure lack of specific symptoms didn't help). Any ideas? I think my iron was ok last check, and i'm trying to take my PG vits a bit more regularly and eat healthily to see if it helps. I already called in sick to work on Monday cos I just felt so unwell I had to lie down in the morning, and thought a day of rest might help. I'm meant to be working again tomorrow and I don't know if I can face it. I'm just so frustrated at this non-specific feeling of yuck!
