I have heard about this "side effect" of pregnancy, but no matter if I expected it or not, I must admit... It amazed me. Yesterday I slept all day long! It has never happened to me before. Never in my life. I woke up in the morning, as usual. My husband left for work, as usual. I got out of bed, went to the kitchen to take my daily vitamin AS USUAL and... unlike ever before, I took my phone and returned to bed. So I spent all day in bed, phone ringing from time to time, mostly ignoring it.
I haven't eaten anything all day until the evening, when my husband returned and we had dinner.
Sleeping all day and eating nothing. It is so very different from my normal daily routine, that it made me think: "Is this ok? Am I doing something wrong? Should I just get out of bed, no matter how challenging, and do something, anything?".
To make this fair, I must admit that I don't eat meat and most days I can't eat dairy products because they seem to trigger my "morning" sickness. But I try to eat daily at least a few vegetables and fruits. So even if I can't eat other food, I try to have daily a carrot, some salad leaves, a tomato or a bell pepper or a cucumber, an apple, a banana, grapes or pears, grapefruits, lemons or oranges, sometimes avocado. I love fruits and vegetables. I have them as salad or just eat one at a time, but the most important is that I eat them.
About the "morning" sickness: I am intrigued by the fact that, at least in my case, it lasts all day long. So it has never been only in the morning. I suggest that it should have it's name changed to "all day" sickness.
But this is only my point of view. I look forward to hearing your opinion, hopefully based on your experience.
