I'm no longer feeling tired at seven weeks

by Peg Plumbo

question
I am now seven weeks pregnant and feeling fine, but I'm worried about my pregnancy. For about a month, I felt extremely tired and suffered from nausea when I smelled certain foods. Shouldn't I be feeling tired at least until the end of my first trimester? Should I call the doctor?

answer
Phases and cycles characterise pregnancy. The fatigue may return or you may be over the worst of it.

No, I would not call the doctor because this is well within the bounds of normal. Enjoy your respite. They call the second trimester the ‘honeymoon of pregnancy’, but maybe you get a longer one than most.
