First trimester couch potato
Hello! This is my first pregnancy that got this far (I am 13 weeks) and for much of the last five weeks I have done nothing but lay in bed or on the couch. I mean, literally, nothing else. Usually 2 or 3 days a week I force myself to do something because I feel so guilty but even that is only something small, like going for a walk or going to the grocery store. Is this normal? I am a teacher and have had off work from weeks 9 on, which I feel was lucky as the nausea and vomiting had been awful up until the past few days. However, even though the past few days have been better I still have done nothing but lay around. I am feeling a lot of guilt about this and am wondering if this is normal? I’m just so tired and I know in a few weeks when I go back to school my life is going to be exhausting again so I almost feel like I’m trying to soak it up while I can. Is this awful for the baby? Has anyone else taken a few weeks to literally just veg out?
