Please call your OBG: But u need to be on prenatal vitamins and you need prenatal blood work to make sure u are not anemic as you may need additional iron and need to make sure u are not hypothyroid, some of those sxs can be from the changing hormones of pregnancy but u need to get the blood work done call your OB for a prenatal visit.

Prenatal Vitamin: You should take a prenatal vitamin with iron, B12 and folate (folic acid). Folic acid is especially important in the developing baby to prevent neural tube defects.
