Pregnant after IF

Feeling tired already!

And I thought I had a good night's sleep!  I'm feeling like I'm dragging this morning.  Any good ideas for a pick me up?  I had a Boost and some cottage cheese for breakfast.  Still feeling so sleepy!

In other news, I am wearing maternity pants at work today, I'm only 7 weeks!  I have a long sweater over it so you can't even tell.  But I feel oh so comfy!

Re: Feeling tired already!

  • I have been feeling sleepy most days for the past two weeks. Although you are a head of me on the maternity wear - just wearing one size larger jeans with them unbuttoned at my desk... but thinking of investing in a bella band soon!

  • At your stage I could sleep for 9h overnight, have a 3h afternoon nap and then still feel like I couldn't get up to pee I was so tired. It will eventually get better....

  • I am exhausted today, despite getting almost 9 hours of sleep last night.  

    I just ordered a bunch of stuff from ON and Gap bc they were having 35% off if you used your ON card.  I also got some stuff from Lands End that isn't maternity but included some nice stretch pants and leggings.

  • The constant tireness was about the only symptom I didn't experience in 1st tri, but there were some days when I was more tired than others.  What I would do is try to take a quick walk around the parking lot and drink a lot of cold water.  It would help give me a little bit more energy to make it through my work day.

    I was in maternity clothes very early on and it was the best thing every.  Bella bands and/or the rubber band trick only got me through the first 3 wks and after that it was just too uncomfortable.  There's no shame in wearing maternity clothes so soon.  Enjoy it!

  • Totally normal... I've been exhausted for e past 3-4 weeks!! No advice for a pick me up though... friends keep telling me a small cup of coffee, but having gone through IF, I'm not sure how I feel about things that aren't necessarily recommended during pregnancy!

  • I feel ya! I'm only going on my 5th week and I've been taking naps almost everyday for the past 2 weeks. But my Dr said that since I'm on progestrone, it tends to make you a little more sluggish. But remember mama.... your body is working extra hard to make Jr. Try to get as much rest as possible!

  • You just have to give in to the exhaustion - there really is no choice. I didn't do laundry for 2 months and DH did ALL the housework and cooking while I slept and slept. It's not easy or fun, but you will come out the other side in 2nd tri. Enjoy the naps!!!
