Exhausted..

How are you working Mom's-to-be managing?? I'm so tired, I could literally fall asleep at my desk

Ugh, and driving to and from work -- torture!! I swear I have to HOLD my eyelids open to keep myself awake.. you'd think I don't sleep at night, when i'm actually getting like 8-9 hours of sleep!!

Sigh..

I work from home a few hours a day so it's not been so bad, but I start going to back to grad school full time next week. Not looking forward to the 40-minute drive to and from campus at all. Especially with avoiding caffeine.

It is so difficult!!! I've been sick too, so that doesn't help. I'm at the beginning of tax season right now working 48-50 hour weeks... I don't even want to think of when I am doing the usual 70 hour week! Hopefully I'll start getting my energy back by then...

I try to drink ice cold water a lot. It gives me a jolt when I get sleepy. I also sneak in some caffeine sometimes (2-3 days of the week). I've found holding off on the caffeine in the morning, and saving it for early afternoon (when I feel like I'm about to crash) helps. I usually keep it small, no more than 50-75mg (75mg in a tall skinny vanilla latte at starbucks!). Also, if its after 3pm, I stick to the water.

Hang in there and just daydream of bedtime!

I'm a Zumba instructor, and I only teach 3 classes/week, so it's not bad for me. Although I have started having an issue motivating myself to practice now.

The exhaustion finally hit me last night. I went to bed at 7:30, thinking I'd wake up in about an hour...12 am rolls around, and I finally wake up. Went back to bed an hour later and didn't wake up til nearly 12 today. Yikes!

Fatigue was my first pregnancy symptom and it's still going strong. I struggle to stay awake at my desk (especially after lunch), but I've found that getting up and walking around helps. I've also been going to bed at like 8:30!

My God yes. Also, I sit with a heater cause it's freezing which doubly puts me out!

What's crazy is you forget what it feels like to have energy!!!!!!!

I'm sitting at my desk right now and it's almost unbearable trying to stay awake. I'm trying to snack on some frozen grapes to wake me up a bit and settle my stomach. To make matters worse, I share an office with my boss and I do not want to share the news so early on....ugh!

If I could crawl into bed right now I would be out like a light! Hang in there ladies!!
