I hit the 8 week wall...

So, I turned eight weeks yesterday, and had been feeling great.  No ms, and just the usual hormonal mood swing, and always sore breasts.

 And then came today...I could barely pull myself out of bed this morning...I just took a nap and I am so tired that my eyes even hurt.

 Has anyone had this sort of fatigue hit them at any moment?  Has it subsided?

I'm not that far yet, but the general concensus seems to be that first tri is all about being tired, and then magically second tri brings unexpected energy and the fatigue lets up.  I have had a few days where i had to take a nap just a few hours after getting up...and still never seemed to be rested.  Let's hope for the light at the end of the tunnel! Get some rest:)

I'm really draggin' a$$ today.  I was just thinking as I was walking around Target, wow I really don't feel tired today.  30 minutes later I could've laid my head down at the dinner table and gone to sleep!  Having a little one to run after this time really makes a difference!  Get some rest!

the first two weeks I was dead tired.. napping a lot ... the last couple of days I've been fine... funny how symptoms come and go like that

Woo, I wake up almost every day without a lick of energy, mostly in the morning.  I am 8 weeks, this is my 3rd pregnancy/our 5th child and I haven't had any morning sickness, just nauseous, sore breasts, moody but don't remember ever being this drained with my other pregnancies.

I have so much respect for you, as you must be some sort of super hero to be able to raise four gorgeous children while pregnant with another!

This is my first and I work from home...So I am just struggling to find the balance between work and feeling like I want to nap all day.

Thank you so, so much!  I feel like one sometimes.  I don't know how I would do it if I did work because I already feel like there isn't enough time in the day.  I do have to say, my kids are great helpers now, so I know they'll be with this next one.  

 I also could nap all day, mostly in the mornings but when it comes night time, I can't sleep a lick!

 

Good Luck with your very first, you're going to love motherhood!
