Has anyone else had this? My first pregnancy was so easy and I felt wonderful.... so symptoms like this really take me by surprise.

I was tired in my first tri but at 12 weeks the tiredness increased exponentially. I'm so exhausted, I can barely string a sentence together. I feel like I'm at the end of a long tunnel, watching the world but not really in it. Underneath my eyes is completely black. Plus I feel dizzy every time I stand up, and have to sit down again. I feel so, so heavy - and as though my muscles are weak.

Oh and lastly I cant seem to catch my breath. I put it down to anxiety (work stress) but maybe its all related? Every now and then I feel like I cant breathe deeply enough to get enough air in.

I've got an appointment with my doctor tomorrow but I was just wondering if this is totally normal for this stage of pregnancy? I'm 14 weeks now and it seems to be getting worse not better... Where is my 2nd tri burst of energy?!
