I just hit 16 weeks and had mild morning sickness and lots of exhaustion in the first trimester. I felt better at 11 weeks, like overnight, but after a week or so I began feeling like in the first trimester--tired, completely unmotivated and just generally yucky--I call it "low grade yucky." I am an educator and have had July off, and have gotten nothing done around the house, and done nothing fun because I always feel so.....yucky. I go back to work on Monday and wonder how I am gonna run a school if I keep feeling this way......anyone else out there having a similar experience? I fat because I can't get to the gym, I feel lazy, and feel guilty for "wasting" my time off in July! Ugh!
Re: Does Anyone Else Feel Yucky Almost All the Time?
OMG I could have written this post myself!! I am a teacher and go back Aug 11 and I'm SO disappointed with how little I've done this summer to prepare for this year. I finally got some motivation back today and cooked a nice dinner, vacuumed out the car, picked up the house, etc. Then I fell asleep at 6pm. Frustrating!! I'm awake now but heading back to bed in a bit.
I did have an appt with my midwife today and she said 14-16 weeks is generally the end all of this yuckiness. Hopefully you'll feel relief soon! Hang in there.
I just tell myself that millions of teachers have been pregnant, too, and they've made it work. I can too!!

lol-- I'm beyond low grade yucky! Those are the good days-- and yes, I'm completely unproductive 98% of the time. It is very annoying-- I'm usually go-go-go but this baby has slowed me down to an unbelievable rate!
It really scares me because this is my first & I always wanted a large family. But I'm not really sure I would want to put myself through this many more times, so I'm really hoping my next pregnancy is a breeze!
My m/s was getting better, but then last night the toilet & I had a rendezvous... and it feels like we may do the same this morning!
I'm ready to enjoy this pregnancy, but it's been kind of impossible so far!
