For a few days after my BFP, I was feeling slightly more tired than usual...but now I feel great. I'm still tired at the end of the day, but no more than I usually am with a full time job and a 2.5 yr old toddler at home.
Anyone else? I try not to over analyze too much, but with DS this is the one thing I remember being awful about early pregnancy. I was SO exhausted. I guess I'm just surprised, that's all. I know they say every pregnancy is different and I guess I'm already noticing that!

I am not feeling the exhaustion I did with my DS but then again, it may be too early. I think it was around 6-7 weeks when that hit me. Right now, I feel ok. Some days I feel tired. The cramps are back today after a few days of not feeling them. Ugh
With DS, the only symptom I had was that I was exhausted. And by that I meant I was sleeping all the time except for when I was at work, so like 12 hours. This time, I feel pretty much normal. I'm trying to not read into it, but it's hard sometimes.
I'm the same way. I was super exhausted for a few days after BFP, but then I've felt these bursts of energy. With DS, I could not drag myself up to do a lot.
I can't decide if it is still just too early this time, if I'm just used to the exhaustion at this point (let's face it, toddlers are exhausting), or if my brain is just telling me body that I don't have time for that this time around.

Hmmm I can't see everyone's siggies since I'm on mobile, but I'm wondering if it's mostly 2nd (3rd, 4th) time moms that aren't as tired...maybe since we are always tired?!
Although I am at the gym right now and have basically no motivation to do anything, so exhaustion is prob about to hit!

Sorry for the quote fail.
It seems the majority saying they are not are already mommies. I think we are just plain used to the exhaustion and/or just don't have time for it!

I can't say how I was for my son, because.. well, I didn't know I was pregnant
When I was pregnant in February, the exhaustion set in around 6 weeks, I think?
Today was a busy morning- I got all the laundry done, food shopping, cleaned up a million messes in the house, and played with the monster- but this is usual stuff for me. Now I am at work and I am tired. I think pre-pregnancy, I would have been fine. I am thinking about closing my office door and hoping no one notices if I take a little cat nap
Not yet! But I am chasing after three little ones at home and we are currently running on back to school adrenaline, so I am sure it will hit me eventually!
Second timer, here, and I'm not feeling too tired yet. I'm feeling less motivated to get stuff done, for sure, but I don't know if that isn't just psychological. "I'm pregnant, I should be relaxing and growing a person, not doing laundry!" *poutpout* Like that
Last time around, I remember first getting tired during our weekend getaway we had already planned that turned into our babymoon and having to skip some planned activities to take a nap instead. I think that was the weekend after the weekend we got our BFP. And after that it was OVER. I got up long enough to get DS1 out the door for kindergarten, then went back to bed until it was time to pick him up! This time around, with a toddler, that is not an option, so I'm hoping energy levels stay up!
Re: Anyone else NOT tired yet?
I have noticed that if I force myself to be more active I feel a bit better.
