Anxiety/increased energy??

horse232 · March 2016

So I'm 5w1d today with my first. And this last week, I've been feeling jittery/shaky and more anxious than usual..particularly in the mornings. The feeling you get with a caffeine high is what I've been feeling. Except I don't drink caffeine!! I do not feel the overwhelming fatigue that many people describe early on. Normally I don't have this much energy and I'm wondering why? Can the hormones cause that? Has anyone actually experienced increased energy in the early weeks rather than the typical decrease in energy? It's a weird feeling! Wondering if I should just soak it up and enjoy it because it likely won't last much longer??

At 5w1d, it's still early to feel that "can't finish chewing my lunch" fatigue. It's just starting to hit me now at 5w5, and last time it totally didn't get me until after 6 weeks. I had an increase in energy at the very very beginning too, but now I'm losing it lol.

I had an increase in energy last week, lasted a few days and now I am just feeling sort of blah. I know thats not a feeling but thats the best word. Last time I was fatigued and tired to a point I would fall asleep sitting up! Thankfully that hasnt kicked in yet. Although Im not sleeping at night. No idea why but I blame that for feeling blah.

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling this weirdness. It's like a chronic caffeine high. I can still sleep fine, but when I'm up I'm definitely up! Lol. I'm kind of just waiting for the day when that wave of fatigue hits me. Some of the other symptoms are slowly starting to creep up (nausea and appetite change mostly) so I'm sure the fatigue will too.

I've been feeling pretty awesome. Maybe a little tired at night, but I bounce out of bed at 630 every day. Lol I'm taking advantage of it because I know it may not last much longer.
