hard pregnancy

I'm 37 and 12 weeks pregnant w/ my second child my so just turned 17 and it has been awful since I found out. I'm a single mom and I feel like death all day long. I have no energy to do anything I can barely get out of bed to shower. Is this just me or does anyone feel this horrible?

Hi,

All pregnancies are different.I just turned 40 and my first pregnancy was awful as well, I had nausea and indigestion till the very end. Are you over working? It's very difficult to b a single mom.. no wonder you're so tired! Are you taking vitamins? That makes a big difference. Lastly, I wouldn't over worry...some pregnancies can b very difficult...good luck and keep me posted! : )

The first trimester is really hard. Take your prenatal vitamins and report any depression to your doctor. Sluggishness should pass. I hope you feel better.
