When does the exhaustion get better?

Slobina

I am so, so, so tired.  Every time I feel like I'm going to stop being tired, I get more tired.  Is this ever over? I'm about 12 weeks now and I feel like I've been tired forever.  Sorry for the vent - I have a work conference next week, and I'm wondering if I'm going to pass out in my soup over dinner with clients.

Thanks,

Amy

my Mom says it's not til the kids are out of the house

but seriously, sorry you're so tired!  Usually it gets better in the 2nd tri so hopefully it won't be long now!

I think I finally started feeling rested when he was about 5 years old.  So, I went and got knocked up again

Kidding, kidding.  Kind of.  The second trimester is usually the easiest in terms of the exhaustion and sickness.  Hope it gets better!

I was thinking 7 years and counting. lol. Seriously though, it gets better in the 2nd trimester.

People say it gets better in the 2nd tri but I didn't notice much of an improvement. I consistently went to bed between 8:30 and 9 the whole pregnancy.

I did find out in early 3rd tri that I was anemic and started taking iron and that helped a tiny bit.

I'm 16 weeks along and still exhausted all the time.  I'm wondering when it will start to get better.  I drag all day everyday!  I totally understand how you feel!

I found that it got much better after the 1st tri, especially with exercise. (Seems counterintuitive, but really gives more energy once you get going.) Have hope!

I was going to say this too!

Second trimester is better.  All in all, though, pregnancy is a tiring time.  Enjoy it though, as life gets crazy after baby!
