PURE EXHAUSTION...

Colorado Babies 12Colorado Babies 12 member
in 2nd Trimester

Almost 15 weeks and carrying twins. I have headaches, fatigue, sleepiness, body aches..etc  My first 2 pregnancies were a cake walk next to this.  I'm a nurse and work on my feet most of the day.  I will take any advice on how to increase my energy and feel better.  This is how I felt at 38 weeks with my others!  I drink lots of water, take my vitamins and have been eating well.  I have also had spotting on and off for a week that my MD hasn't been concerned about. (He did a pelvic and u/s)  I just can't over do it.  Advice please??  Thanks!

    just wanted to say i'm in the same boat with you...i'm 18 weeks today with twins and completely and utterly exhausted and feeling like a large-marge. 

    hope everything goes well for you and that you'll be on bedrest/homestay soon!  take care of yourself!

    Thanks Jannie.  I'm actually hoping not to go on bed rest! :)  Are you already? Do you know what you are having?

    i'm not on bedrest yet, but i'm hoping for at least homestay since my legs have been very sore the last couple of weeks, but i don't know if that's a good enough reason for my dr. to give the ok.  i don't know what i'm having, my a/s is tomorrow (!!!) which i feel like is foreeevvveeer away!  how about you?  15 weeks...is it too soon to know what you're having?

    Oooh.  I haven't been keeping track of the protein.  I'll definately start.  I'm not sure about the blood.  Will call my dr.  Thanks!

    I hope your legs feel better soon!  The u/s is so fun. We had one last week for the N/S.  One looked like a boy but the tech couldn't say for sure and the other twin didn't cooperate.  I work at a hospital so Im hoping one of the docs will give me another ultrasound in a few weeks.  Otherwise, I have to wait until January.  Let me know how it goes!

    I'm not pregnant with twins but I could have typed this out myself word for word. I just got off of 5 12s in a row and today I have been a zombie. It was brutal. If you find a cure let me know, i need one too. This exhaustion and the headaches are terrible.

    Kendra, I'm glad you said that. I'm not crazy.  I'll keep you posted!  5 12's, omg, never! I did a 10 yesterday and couldn't hang today.  Thank goodnes our patients were low and I took a low census day and only worked 4 hrs.  I napped for 3 hours at 10am!

    Indifferent

    I am going to pretend I didn't see this post. I've been living for 2nd trimester because everyone said how wonderful it was going to be and how I'd have all this amazing energy. 

    I like my little dream world and I want to stay!!

    I'm just as exhausted I'm only expecting one baby. 

    this is my third pregnancy and I'm so tired I feel crazy. I'm a stay at home mom, my LO is 15 months. She's wearing me out!!!!!

    I feel as if I'm 38 weeks and I'm only 15 weeks, I'm afraid of what will happen in the next few months.
