Is there a way not to feel so faintish everyday? I had to walk while bending down like a grandma..

I also feel low energy and sleepy all the time. I take naps when wfh. After walking around the house a bit, I feel like I need to sit. Haven’t done any exercises coz gynae told me to rest more and don’t walk so much too…

I'm feeling much better now at week 10, still low on energy but I can take walks now. I suppose its part of our journey. It will be better! It's also part because we stop eating what we used to, so our body is low on nutrients. Keep eating the prenatal vitamins. And fruits! I eat oranges, take lean meat (well done beef) , and raspberries. I stopped eating carbs because it worsen my nausea.

wow you have long way to go! best to do light exercises to keep up otherwise you’ll feel worse in third trimester

Have a good rest . I always try to get bedrest,
