1st Trimester

Feel like I am having the life sucked out of me

I never thought I would be this tired this early! Anyone else feeling as exhausted as I am? Is there any hope that this gets a little better LOL!

  • Yep. ?I slept 8:30pm-8:00am last night. ?I hate this part of pregnancy.

  • Weeks 5-7, I was a total zombie.  People at work were noticing how tired I looked, and I was napping for 2 hours almost every day after work.  Around week 8, I started having a little more energy.  I'm still more tired than usual, but it did improve.

    I know it sounds like the last thing you want to do, but if you can manage even a 20 minute walk, it might help boost your energy level.

  • I am!  I was exhausted after lunch (I'm in London) and layed down for a few minutes that turned into a 2 hour nap.  And I thought I was having a "good day" before that!  Oh well.  Everyone has been telling me it will get better - I hope they're right!

  • I'm always soooo tired!  I fell asleep (off and on) on the couch last night after DDs batch (about 8:30).  Finally gave up and went to bed about 9:30.  Woke up at 5:30 and still feel like I didn't sleep enough!
  • After week 9 it's let up a little bit, but I am still amazed at my capacity to sleep.  Before, napping for an hour-and-a-half in the afternoon then sleeping a full night's sleep was unheard of.  Not so, anymore.

  • Seems to get a wee bit better after 8 weeks for me, but still exhausted.  Hoping it lets up in the 2nd tri.
  • **raises hand** It sucks. Sitting at a stressful desk job doesn't help at this point either. Every day is miserable right now when I can't be in bed. Kill me. Crying

    Yup. This has been a problem for me since week 4. I'm like an old lady, I'm in bed by 9pm anymore.

  • Yep I have felt like that for the past couple of weeks. It was so bad at work the other day I had 2 people ask if I was pregnant, cause I wasn't acting myself. And that was just an 8 hour shift, where I got to sleep in till 8. I am not looking forward to the next 2 days which are 12 hour shifts, getting up at 5:30.  I am hoping I get some energy back soon.

  • Yup...this is why I jokingly refer to my babies as my little parasites...they're taking it all out of me...
  • I feel your pain!  I've been ridiculously exhausted since about week 5; it hasn't gotten better yet, but I'm holding out for the 2nd trimester light at the end of the tunnel!  I sleep for 8 - 9 hours and still have to take a nap when I can!

  • I wish I could get in bed earlier.. at home, I end up watching TV and reading baby books and doing random things around the house. Then alllll day I'm exhausted. I guess even if I went to sleep at 8 I'd be tired the next day, huh?
  • It amazes me how tired Iam. Some people say it gets better...Well Im dying for the day this gets better. Sitting in a cube 8 hours a day working is just too much when you feel like a ton of bricks is weighing you down because your so tired. I hope this part gets better soon. The thing that stinks for me is at night I can only sleep for a few hours at night and then I wake up. I just dont get because im so tired through out the day...Does it ever get better?!.
