Energy levels/tell me I'm not alone.

A little background: I'm 6 weeks today! Friday, Saturday and Sunday I was doing great. Had a friend in town was on the go no problem. Today I work up with a horrible crick In my neck and a horrible headache. I was up many times last night peeing as if I had been holding it in for an eternity. Needless to say, today I feel like I got hit by a truck. Is anyone else having this same experience? Does anyone have feelings of normalcy like pre-pregnancy and then periods of extreme fatigue? Please let me know your experieneces, as I'm sure you're all at Memorial Day festivities enjoying your role as sober drivers...

I'm with you. I cannot get out of bed in the morning then by mid afternoon I need a nap but usually can't take one bc I can't just lay down and fall asleep. I'm headed for 9 weeks so I am waiting patiently for relief!

I am also 6 weeks (our first baby) and basically my only symptoms are fatigue and the need to pee (what seems like every 30 minutes!). Make sure that you rest when you're tired so you aren't pushing your body too hard. And despite needing to pee just keep downing that water since it's so good for you and baby

Have a great Memorial Day!

I'm exhausted! It doesn't matter how much sleep I'm pooped by noon! I try to limit my water/liquid intake after dinner and that really seems to help me with middle of the night pees! More like two times instead of 5! I was enjoying a nice cup of peppermint tea before bed, but I realized it was making me pee too much!

The past 3 days I have felt SO zapped of energy. I had to take TWO naps and still felt lethargic. Today is a little better though. I'm ready to get through this first Trimester! 4 weeks left for me. Hope you get some energy again!

I napped all day today. I have Monday and Tuesdays off and by Sunday I can barely make it through the day at work. The only thing that could have made me less productive today was if my husband was home to take care of the dogs.

I'm tired basically all day. I try to nap when my daughter takes her nap, usually I have to. It's hard staying awake until she lays down at 1230...it sucks.

Thanks for all the input! Appreciate it, ladies

My fatigue also comes and goes. Sometimes I can't even bear the thought of lifting my head off the pillow and other days I'm fine once I get going. I've never experienced anything like it. I have a new empathy for people who suffer with chronic fatigue.

I feel like my energy balloon has a hole in it - it depletes too easily and takes more effort to fill back up, and then it promptly deflates again.

It's on and off - one day I think it's in my head, and I don't need to nap at all. The next day I need two naps and a 9 hour sleep.

I love this description! That's exactly how I feel. I get little bursts of energy, but it fades quickly and then takes hours to get back to even half of that energy level.

Yes! Was fine all day and then I suddenly feel like I'm gonna pass out of exhaustion anywhere..and I can fall asleep just about anywhere too, for hours
