Brief Answer:
Not normal.

Detailed Answer:
hi,

I can understand your concerns.

Feeling stressed is not normal in pregnancy.

Common causes of feeling stressed in pregnancy might be work related or anemia.

i will advise you to get your hemoglobin checked and take adequate rest.

Also adequate balanced diet is essential with plenty of juice and green vegetables.

Age is also a factor and at 38 you should be extra careful.

Regards,

Dr Som MD
