When did your energy return?

d.cubed · April 2010

I'm just trying to get a general idea here about when you started to get your energy back?

I was always so good about exercise, cooking, etc.. I feel like I let too much of this go in my first trimester. Every day I am so hopeful that I'll start to feel more like "normal" again, but, thus, far not so much...

I know that it's different for everyone, but I'd love to get some anecdotes!

My energy returned around 14 weeks. I'm still going strong now. I really like being able to go to the gym, unlike in 1st tri. I was just too tired.

I am probably in the minority on this one but my energy level never dropped, if anything it picked up. Ever since BFP DH calls me the Energizer Bunny! I'm just hoping it lasts long enough to get me through my showers and setting up the nursery!

I started to feel more human at 13 weeks, but I'm still puking most mornings/nights....

Around 16 weeks.

My morning sickness/tiredness didn't go away until around 16 weeks. I was worried I was going to feel like crap the whole pregnancy. I feel great the past couple weeks though

I felt normal around 14 weeks, and got even more engergy around 20.

This time, never.

With DD it was right around the start of 2nd trimester.

I have been more tired during the second tri than I was in the first. It's not all day (as it was in first tri), but around 5:00 I'm completely useless and just want to go to bed. It seems to finally be getting better, and the nicer weather seems to be helping. I hit 24 weeks tomorrow.

For me, things went back to normal around 15 weeks. Much more energy and I'm able to stay awake past 9PM, lol!

Mine never has returned. I am constantly tired. Maybe moreso now than in 1st tri...

My energy never returned. I can still sleep 10 hours a night and yawn all day.

My energy returned at 10 weeks, but I am finding I am now losing energy again. I think it comes in waves depending on when you are growing more.

15 weeks. It was amazing. I felt totally different, like I came out of the 1st tri coma.

I understand how you feel. I wanted so badly in the first trimester to get up and exercise and be active, but the energy just wasn't there. And I was sick every night. But around 17-18 weeks I started feeling much better. I'm at 22 now and have felt the best I have the entire time. Hang in there, it'll pass.

About 14 weeks and it's been going great! I was tired throughout my first trimester and maybe did yoga 3-4 times. I slept through most of it!!

Thank you for your info! I was feeling so good around week 10, only to totally regress and have more nausea and vomiting now! It's just comforting to know that there's a whole range of "normal" in pregnancy.

It is just so amazing how different everyone's pregnancy journey is!
