Hello
Welcome here.
I can understand your concerns.
Some common causes of weakness in pregnancy are:
Anemia: please get your hemoglobin levels tested.
Low blood pressure: monitor your blood pressure frequently, drink plenty of water, fruit juices and milk.
Low blood sugar: get fasting blood sugar tested.
Low thyroid levels: gets free T3, free T4 and TSH levels checked. Hypothyroidism can cause fatigue, weakness and tiredness.

Take your iron and folic acid and calcium supplements regularly.
Consult your doctor.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
