I'm nearly 19weeks pregnant and I still have absolutely no energy to do anything except attend to my 21month old. I sleep when he sleeps and when I'm awake I can barely do a thing and I'm incredibly emotional. I feel so alone. Is there anything that will have me gain some energy?

Iron b6 and make sure you have enough Vit C and folic acid
What do your doctors say? Have you been assessed for depression etc? Pregnancy can be hard but something about what you said sounds more than normal pregnancy tiredness. Please speak to your GP.
Are you taking a pregnancy supplement? Sometimes it can help.
I am pregnant myself, 29 weeks, with a 3 year old and am exhausted to. I sleep when he sleeps and when he is awake I just sit while he plays etc... I too am very emotional about it and spoke to my midwife. She says it is normal for some women to be completely exhausted and have no energy.
Not everyone is the same. Some people can run and exercise while pregnant, others cannot. Depends how your body copes.
Don't beat yourself up. Just rest and remember you are growing a human being inside you. That's the biggest job anybody can do
