Barely functioning

Swiftymomof3 · October 2013

I am 6 weeks tomorrow and can barely function. I'm drained and feel so sick 24/7. My mom told me the kids said I was crabby and she asked me why I was being so crabby. Come on 12 weeks. I'm going to tell my mom if everything looks good this Thursday on the ultrasound. I almost did today but with my history I thought I would just wait.

Any magic ideas out there for snapping out of this?????

I appreciate it but I feel so dang grumpy all the time. I should be happy! It was everything I could do to go grocery shopping and sit at my sons football game today. Now I have a ton of laundry to put away and all I'm doing is laying here thinking about how horrible I feel. No one knows so I have to try to act normal. I'm a teacher so it's so difficult at school (first grade). I thought my Dh would pick up some slack but nope. Ugh.

Ok pity party over!!!lol

I too am out of it. I'll be 8 weeks Tuesday. The exhaustion is rough and it was the same with my first. On top of that, I am fighting off a 2 week cold... All I want to do is sleep. No tricks to get over it... I just keep in mind that it's temporary!

I am right there with you ladies. I told my dh I'm worthless these days

I feel awful everyone else has to suffer. It will be better soon!

I feel so much better knowing that I am not the only one that can't seem to function today. I am 6w today with my first and just came down with a cold. My DH dragged me to the gym this morning...I walked for 15 minutes and then went to the car to sleep until he was finished! We came back home and I have been sleeping on and off ever since. Will we get more energy soon, or is this how our whole pregnancy will be?

Swiftymomof3 · October 2013

I don't remember feeling like this with my other 3 kids. I'm older now so that could be part of it. Hopefully 12 weeks will be our magic week.

I felt like I got hit by a bus today!! It's all I can do to do anything other than just lay on the couch and watch tv. I am a bit relieved my H came home and suggested we go see a movie in a theater that serves a full menu. I had something easy planned for dinner, but even that feels like preparing a huge dinner right now!

tbmadeamistake · October 2013

Yes. I'm coming out at work as soon as my direct supervisor gets back and gives me the go-ahead, just so I can be as tired/grumpy as I want and no one will say anything. My family and close friends already know, so that parts easy, but ugh, I feel like taking a nap every second of every day.

bumpuser9343355 · October 2013

This makes me feel so much better. I have been laying on the couch all day and despite needing to run errands, clean, and do laundry, have accomplished nothing today. I feel like all the things I normally like doing, I just don't have the energy for. Hoping to snap out of it sooner rather than later, but glad we are all going through the same thing!

JenniCollins · October 2013

Some days I actually have enough energy to go run (well, jog for 1 1/2 miles and walk home) but most days I'm pushing it to get 10,000 steps. I just want to lay down all day. I had fatigue with my first pregnancy but it was fine after taking a quick nap and not everyday.

I really hope I get some more energy in the 2nd trimester, I won't be able to survive the Holidays without it. We drive 11 hours overnight to my parents every year for Thanksgiving, I am dreading it this year. We leave around 8, so I plan on taking the first shift and hopefully I can make it till midnight and then be able to fall asleep in the backseat.

My problem is the sickness, from 4 weeks until this last Thursday it was afternoons though evenings and was manageable. Now it's all the time and I can barely eat. I'm so miserable. My hubby bought me new soup I'm trying later on.

Good to know I am not the only one being a grumpy butt. I am glad DH has been picking up my slack, but I just wish I could sleep all day. Im hoping my energy returns after first trimester .

Sinead2612 · October 2013

I was the very same guys! I was so bad last Friday and my in-laws were coming for the weekend so I was so worried about snapping out of it. Worst I've ever get in my life. My husband dragged me to get acupuncture and it was life changing... I went from nausea/exhaustion being an 8 out of a ten to a 2 . Highly recommend! I can function now!! Also rocking out the sea bands but acupuncture did the trick for me!

towncargirl · October 2013

I feel like such a butt :P My poor DH is super stressed at work and then comes home to a grumpy tired and nauseous me. I just keep trying to remind myself that these are all good signs! We did have to tell my In laws because of how crappy I felt they were getting suspicious and we couldn't hold them off any longer.
