I was really hoping I'd have some new found energy this week (13 weeks). I'm sleeping 9pm-6am and still struggling with fatigue in the afternoon/evenings, when did your exhaustion end? yawn....
I think after your LO leaves for college!! JK. I was exhausted through my entire pregnancy with DD never felt that "surge of energy" same so far with this one.

Doh! I was hoping for my "burst of energy" in the second semester! It is a STRUGGLE to stay up past 8 pm. I have to fight to even try to stay up till 9. I was hoping the fatigue would die down to.
I guess since I never got morning sickness I just have to deal with this instead.
My energy didn't kick back in until about 16 weeks, and I had to force it! I refused to let myself lie on the couch when I got done with work (although I desperately wanted to) and I forced myself to get stuff done, and within a few weeks, my energy was back. Make sure you're getting a good night's sleep, though, because that helps a lot. I always make sure to sleep at least 8-9 hours a night.
I've been tired since I was pregnant with DS#1 in 2004, lol. I wish I could say I was totally energized...But nope. I seem to stay tired while pregnant and then of course baby comes and the exhaustion continues.
I asked this question yesterday and while I didn't get a lot of concrete responses, I seem to recall that 18-19 weeks was around when I started feeling more energetic with my first baby. I happened to ask my doctor this question today when I saw her and she said the typical is 20 weeks. Hope that helps.
Re: Still can't keep my eyes open....when does the exhaustion end??
lol - that doesn't give me much hope!
I'm 25 weeks and can't keep my eyes open. In fact, I might take a power nap here at work right now.... zzzz.
