Anyone else more tired/sleep more than usual?

I thought this fatigue was supposed to be gone in 1st Tri. I've been majorly tired the past week and a half. It's kinda crazy. I watch my 3 year old nephew during the week, and I've been taking his naps with him. These naps are 2 1/2 to 3 hours.

Then the past 2 nights I've literally slept for 12 hours, and wake up still tired.

Anyone else feeling more fatigue than usual?

I keep thinking my energy is going to come back anytime soon, and I have slightly more energy during the day, but I still sleep 10-14 hours every night!

i continue to have a lot of fatigue.  when i asked my doc about the expectation that it would let up in 2nd tri, he laughed.  he said that making a baby is hard work and i shouldn't expect to get my energy back - its just a nice perk if it does come back!  yikes...

i'm just getting more used to being tired all the time!

I was diagnosed anemic in second tri. The iron pills definitely helped bring some of my energy back. that said getting lots of the appropriate vitamins in could help.

I'm def not as exhausted as you are, but I am exhausted in the afternoon and try to go to bed early.  Weekends are the worst b/c I actually nap and then go to bed early.  I thought I was just being pathetic. =P  I haven't been working out the last week or so, but I hope that helps when I get back into it this week.  GL!

I don't think being tired goes away! I used to wake up at around 7 or 8am, now if i can I will sleep until 11am, yet I go to bed fairly early. I'm too tired to cook or clean a lot and everything just feels like a chore.

Glad to know I'm not the only one then. I go back to the doc in a week so I may ask her then.

Thanks ladies!

I'm going through the same thing. I sleep a lot at night, and by noon I'm already needing a nap.

I have been more tired in second tri than 1st so far until 2 days ago when my energy came back.
