Help! Most days I feel like I barely have the energy to make myself a sandwich let alone all the stuff I need to do. I haven't cut caffeine out completely (I sometimes have one small cup reg. coffee a day), I try to get more protein through protein smoothies and some meat when I feel up to it, but I just can't find the energy to do anything. Just the thought of cleaning or running errands is exhausting.
There has to be some way I can beat this, even just a little. Suggestions?
Re: The fatigue is killing me!
I enlisted help so that I didn't have to do as much. my fatigue was BAD. Its getting better now.
You can have a max of 200mg of a caffinated drink per day.

I find myself falling asleep by 8:00 every night! I'll take it though... I had NO symptoms with my 2 previous pregnancies (both ended in m/c) I look at my fatigue and nausea as good signs!

I am not only feeling exactly the way you do, but I'm also 6 weeks and 2 days pregnant, just like you! I too can't bring myself to do anything. I get out of bed, shower, put clothes on, and then I sit on the couch in the new apartment that we just moved into, surrounded by boxes that aren't go to unpack themselves. I'll open a box, look at the contents inside, close the lid, and sit back down again.
It's all too overwhelming! It takes everything I have to go to the grocery store to stock up on healthy snacks... and I can barely carry the dang grocery bags anymore! My husband works full-time, so I'm on my own during the day.
The hormones and hard on us, too. The littlest thing kind of sets me off. I went on a crying spree this morning and I knew fully that it wasn't THAT bad... but, I just couldn't stop! Sigh.
