extreme exhaustion anyone?

Newbie81 · July 2012

For the last two days I have been more exhausted than normal during this pregnancy. I slept 12 hours last night and already took a 2 hour nap today. Anyone go through anything like this? I don't think I need to call my doctor because I don't think anything is wrong, but I don' t know what to do. I don't feel like I can do anything but lay on the couch and then go take a nap. In fact, we went out yesterday during the day and had to leave early because it was too much. Any suggestions for how to get past this?

Oh yes....I slept for 12 hours last night too! I don't have any good advice to get around this....I just deal with it the best I can.

How fa along are you? Unfortunately the first trimester is where you'll experience extreme fatigue. I get home every day from work and just crash and have been taking naps on the weekend. It's definitely rough though. I just keep reminding myself that the fatigue is supposed to be gone by the second trimester.

I'm almost 8 weeks. I used to work late and now I leave work by 5pm everyday pooped. I haven't been working out (too tired) but I hear even walking can give you energy. Now if I could only pull myself off the couch to do something.

Glad to know I am not the only one though!

I am in the same boat...my strongest symptoms this weekend is exhaustion! I didn't do anything all day yesterday except lay on the couch.

Today I have no energy and am totally lethargic.

I feel like my exhaustion this time around has been to the eXtreme (last time it was eXtreme puking). I noticed the two days this week that I went walking either at the grocery store or department store, I seemed to feel a little better. But I have to force myself out, and that is hard. I feel like I am back to the newborn stage with LO because I am napping every time he does.

Same here! I've been trying to catch a nap whenever DS falls asleep. Helps a little.

Same here. And I was so exhausted with DD1. Sleep when you can, it does eventually go away! Also, make sure you're drinking a lot of water and getting plenty of iron- low iron also causes extreme exhaustion.

Same boat. I'm exhausted to tears- just ask DH

I've been so exhausted but I can't take naps! My mind is racing about all the million other things I should be doing. But I do take it easy and lay on the couch and watch tv or go online.

Yes. Thank god DD is a great sleeper and napper because I am able to sneak in cat naps when she does. I'm having trouble sleeping at night though because I am still trying to wrap my mind around 2u2.
