Hormones different: Your hormones during pregnancy are very different and can cause those feelings of fatigue, weakness that you are experiencing. Also, as the pregnancy progresses, hormones to help relax ligaments so the birth process goes easier can also make you 'feel weaker' because your ligaments are looser. Take these feelings as an early warning to get more rest and not lift more than 20#.
