Hello all. I'm new to this whole thing and I need advice on ways to combat the fatigue. I've never thought of a nap so many times during the day in my life. Its all I want to do. I'm 5 weeks today

Jay_Cee · June 2014

I took an hour nap yesterday. I meant to close my eyes for 5 minutes.

I really don't know that there's much to do to combat the fatigue other than to sleep more.

I'm 5 weeks today as well, I feel the same way. If I have time I just take a quick cat nap even if it's for 45 mins it helps a lot. I cannot wait for it to go away

Acupuncture has helped me a lot.

No advice, just wanted to say you're not alone. Sooooo tired (:|

I started acupuncture about 4 weeks ago and feel that it has really helped with fatigue, circulation, my skin, etc etc. My last 2 pregnancies I was exhausted this early on and had awful skin, but this time is different. It could just be that this pregnancy is different in general....or maybe the acupuncture really helps!

Yeah. ...if someone has the secret to this then please let me know! I'm so damn tired!

I've been going to acupucnture for a little over a month ago - I'm seriously exhausted this week though. I'm going to mention the exhaustion to my acupuncturist next time I go - I hope it helps! Falling asleep at my desk over here.

I felt like I was in a coma until 12 weeks last time. And then again when I hit like 33 weeks. This time it hasnt really hit me yet.... maybe I am use to being tired all the time now, lol. I am having insomnia this time though, so that stinks!

Yep! I am similar to this. I remember last time being so tired. But this time it hasn't hit me yet. I have to assume I'm just used to it. DS is a horrible sleeper!

HerHighness · June 2014

I'm exhausted! I also cant seem to go back to sleep if someone wakes me up. My 4 year old comes and climbs in bed for snuggles and then im wide awake! I'm averaging 5 hours a sleep a night. Ugh! Good thing is this usually gets better by 2nd trimester

mrmrsbernal · June 2014

Just extremely drained I feel like I haven't slept in days

maltwin1 · June 2014

I'm right there with you! I've heard exercise helps, but I can't manage to stop napping long enough to find out. :-S

shirelle126 · June 2014

Strange thing is I feel well rested when I wake up. I'm even up before my alarm some mornings but shortly after I feel super drowsy like I haven't slept all week. I hope I don't look the way I feel...

tasha_allen2002 · June 2014

I feel the same....I think my husband thinks I'm being dramatic but im tired all day and I go to sleep so early....I was looking up things to help yesterday and it was certain foods and taking naps when you can. I try to take a hour nap everyday but I wake up more grouchy because it want long enough... so I decided if an hour was all that I would get I wouldn't take it at all but now I end up going to sleep at 7 or 8. I told my husband I needed to only work part-time because im so tired. Lol

snooks721 · June 2014

I've been tired but I think it's just because I woke up early the past few days. I don't think I've quite experienced the "pregnancy fatigue" yet.

Great now I'll probably jinx myself.

Erichandme · June 2014

I go to bed really early! I work full time and go to college full time! I have no idea how I'm going to fare this! Lol

mommy5point0 · June 2014

Fatigue is normal especially in the 1st Tri... If it gets unusual or seems worrisome, you may want to check with your Dr. I was unusually tired in my last pregnancy and I was actually anemic.

lauren889 · June 2014

i agree with all you ladies! I literally NEVER use to nap and now ive napped the past three days! like 3 hr naps... crazy!

MissyDrel · June 2014
