A serious lurker comes out of hiding!

Hi Ladies~

I've been lurking on this board for quite some time and felt I needed to introduce myself.  I'm SO excited to be 21 weeks pregnant with boy/girl twins!I'm also nervous because I've been feeling more tired than normal these past two weeks and am getting ready to start a new school year next week (I'm a teacher), so I'm a bit nervous about what my energy level will be like.

It's wonderful to know there are so many women on this board who are experiencing the same things as I am!  I already appreciate all the knowledge I've gained from all of you!!!

Hello from another former lurker and Congratulations!

 My fatigue has been KILLING me the last week or so. Luckily, I can nap when my son does. Otherwise, I think I would be in bed at 7 pm every night.  Good luck with the school year! I wish I had some advice about the fatigue.

Welcome and congrats!!

Try to take it easy and really trust your body - when you get tired, try to rest or take a break, if you can.

Welcome and congrats!!!! I started getting extra tired and worn out at 20-ish weeks, too. I stopped teaching at about 18 weeks when the school year ended and I didn't go back in the fall, there was no way I could have handled it! Plus my twins came early anyway. Just take it super easy when you can and let DH pick up the slack at home!

Same here....welcome from a previous lurker!   This board has become an enormous resource especially the closer you get to "D Day"!  We all seem to feel the same things which is so assuring!!

Good luck going back to school!  I'm a teacher also and just hoping to work as long as possible but I don't go back til the last week in August.

Welcome and congrats. I think that the hard part of teaching is staying hydrated because it is impossible to go to the bathroom when you want to. -GL
