Feel so blah

Brookens09 · July 2014

I'm 12 weeks pregnant and I just feel so blah. I have only gained a few pounds but I don't even feel comfortable in normal clothes anymore... It's been yoga shorts and t shirts for this girl. I can't get off my butt and workout or do much of anything! I feel so lazy! I hope I'm not the only one who feels this way.

I work 3 short days per week and then immediately when I get home from work I end up napping for 3 hours. On my off days I'm still worn out from my work days so I end up snooze/napping until noon every day. It's not just laziness... I don't even have the energy for stuff that I used to do for fun.

Right there with you. I'm a nurse and work 4 12 hour shifts a week, on my feet running around constantly. I am BEYOND exhausted, and one would think I wouldn't be gaining weight the way I am, especially at only 14 weeks, but no. Fat, tired, grumpy. All the time. Hoping for some better days coming up!

Right there with ya. Been so exhausted all I want to do is sleep.

I am so blah too! And this heat does not help! I have been trying to take a mall walk during my lunches lately and I feel like I could just take a bench and knock out. During my first pregnancy (I guess it helped that I was 17), I walked every single day for at least an hour... I really want to do that now, but I would rather just be a bump on the couch all day- which isn't like me at all. And when I am at work, I am so worthless. I just want to be at home doing nothing. I haven't cooked dinner in 3 months

I am right there with you! I feel the same way.

It's been awful.. Lol my poor bf. I haven't cooked or really done anything for atleast a month or two. I feel like a big blob

I am definetly fighting fatigue...I make myself walk 2-3 miles every lunch and after I am dragging. I walk out of work in this dang humidity and it just saps the life from me. I get home look at my house and go...it needs to be cleaned...eh another day. The lil person in the back of my head is going bezerk because she wants to clean but the pregger mind is so strong.

I have had zero energy. Feel sick all the time and am super exhausted. I'm 14 weeks 2 days now and it hasn't gotten much better yet. I am making myself go to prenatal yoga for the first time this evening though, because it's only offered twice a week and I really really want to see if it helps at all. My back is also killing me so I'm hoping it gives me some relief on that.

I'm only 11 weeks but yes I am constantly exhausted. It has been so frustrating especially trying to play with my five year old and not let her feel left out. I work long hours at work as a nurse manager and by time I get home I have no energy to cook or clean, let alone go for walk to park, but I try. I go to bed early every night when my daughter goes to sleep. Praying it gets better soon for all of us!

nickicl · July 2014

Me too. Unfortunately, I have to forgo yoga shorts and tee shirts to dress up and appear productive at work when I really just want to lay on the couch in an infinite loop of napping, snacking or watching tv. Everyone asks me if it's gotten any better now and well, yes it's not as bad as it was... I don't feel as sick and I have short bouts of energy here and there but it's still really hard.

Ugh! Yes!! I'm a firefighter and normally pretty active (I usually work out 5-6 times a week and have 2 big dogs). They moved me to dispatch until the end of my pregnancy, and I literally sit on my ass all day now and can barely stay awake! I almost nodded off at 3 this afternoon and all I do is sit and eat. I've been lucky to drag myself to a workout 2-3 times a week. I haven't gained any weight yet but I can totally feel my pants getting tight around the middle.
I can't wait for tri 2 where everything is supposed to be rainbows and unicorns! I want my energy and appetite back. And to look pregnant. Right now I'm going through the awkward "is she pregnant or just had too many beers?"
Ugh.

Omg wow I thought I was alone too. I'm always tired n it sucks so much blahh

I'm with you! I have been SO tired just getting through my everyday tasks.

I quickly went from running 10+ miles easily to barely being able to squeak out one or two before I'm completely overheated and exhausted. I was running 30 miles a week, and now I've probably run 30 miles total in the last month.

And that's on weekends when I'm completely rested. I spend all day at work standing and walking, so by the end of the day I'm just spent. I've been trying to get to the gym a couple of times even if it's just 10 minutes on the elliptical.

I've noticed that my nausea has been better this week, so I'm hoping that I'm starting to hit a less miserable part of the pregnancy and I might have some energy again.
