Those of you who are pg...

Did you find that you got some more energy during the 2nd trimester, or am I doomed for the rest of the time??

I am now home for the summer with DD, and I am exhausted!  I have napped both days for over an hour (I know...I'm lucky), but I sure would like to clean the house....and what's going to happen when I go back to work and I can't nap?

    The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.

    I am starting to get a little energy back, but it seems to be super slow coming and comes in spurts, but I do feel better.

    I'm going to say no I didn't - BUT Caleb did not start walking until 4 weeks ago.  So through my 2nd tri, I was lugging around a nearly 30lb child on top of being pregnant.  It really wore me out.  I'm sure I didn't have that 1st tri exhaustion, but I certainly didn't feel better.

    I never got an energy burst...in fact, since my BFP my energy level has been slowly plummeting. Ugh.

    I don't have any advice, just wanted to say I'm in the same boat...I am napping BOTH times my DD does and I'm still tired.  It takes all the energy I can muster just to leave the house. Sometimes I feel so weak, I can't even pick up my DD  :(  I don't remember it being this bad when I was pregnant with her...and I was working full time!  I can only hope it gets better!

    Well then I guess I better be happy about being able to nap now!!!  I was sick with pneumonia for 6 weeks at the start of the pg, so anything is better than that....

    I've been exhausted the entire time. I'm feeling better now that I'm not working but during my 1st pregnancy, I napped all the time. Now with Ryan that's not an option so I'm tired pretty much all the time :(

    It's so much better these past couple weeks.  I thought I was going to die.

    Th whole 1st trimester was just a mess in terms of being exhausted. My housework realllly slacked.This past weekend was the first time in over a month that I was able to get up and clean like I really wanted to and cook and do laundry. I still get wiped out so I definitely need to pass myself, but it is much better then 1st Tri.

    So far no luck in the energy returning.  I am exhausted all of the time.  However, with the first pg if I needed to nap or rest I could but this time there is no such thing.  I just try to do one thing a day after work and hope that by the time I complete everything it isn't time to start all over again. :)

    Since I've been pregnant for like a minute & a half, I haven't even reached the bone-crushing fatigue stage...but I know it's looming. ugh. It was so hard with DS and I didn't have a toddler to chase after.

    Unfortunately I AM in the "ohmygodImightthrowup" stage. FUN! I thought m/s didn't start until week 7?!?!?!
