Is anyone else completely exhausted?

kkelley00 · March 2015

I'm 6wks along today, and I am completely exhausted! Is anyone else experiencing this?

jsawicki · March 2015

I'm taking 4 hour naps every sat and Sunday for the past 3 weeks! Intense exhaustion but I think this is totally normal for first trimester. Your body is making a human for goodness sake.... Hard work! Rest Up ☺️

6w3d and I've been exhausted for 2 weeks now!!

aura26 · March 2015

Yes!! Me! Currently at work and can hardly stay standing for more than 10 minutes,, and I'm a cashier so that is horrible!

tinaay · March 2015

Yes I am 7w 2d and completely exhausted! I do in home childcare and by the time I get the kiddos down for naps I am wiped out! It is all I can do to keep myself awake. It doesn't help I had to give up ALL caffeine because my beloved coffee gives my acid reflux

So I can't even have one cup a day. Today I napped for 3 hours just going grocery shopping with the family wiped me out!

lol I've been a complete slacker, but not on purpose! Between work, nausea and exhaustion, I just can't bring myself to clean house or even work up the energy to shower sometimes! My poor husband must think I have given up!

Laurakat81 · March 2015

Yes. I'm ready for bed most nights by 9, if not earlier. I'll sleep til 7:30 and still feel like I need a nap a few hours later! Not that I ever get one!

I'm wiped out all the time. My house looks like a war zone hit by a dust storm.

I'm so lazy!! I feel guilty but I can't seem to get off the couch this weekend...I'm just so tired! I hope this is temporary.

I read that it tends to fade in the second trimester. Hopefully, it does and this nausea goes with it! Fingers crossed.

It fades in the second trimester. I'm exhausted even on the days I don't do anyrhing(which isn't often)

Me! I'm almost 8 weeks. It takes everything in me to do anything other than sleep and go to work. My husband has been so supportive thank goodness but I don't know how much longer I can get away with being super lazy.

Knottie29904685 · March 2015

Right there with you. I took a 3 hour nap today and it was bliss.

kladair31695 · March 2015

I'm 8 weeks and exhausted all the time. Working the grave yard shift might not be helping ~X(

jy0422 · March 2015

I'm about 7 weeks today and I feel like all I do is sleep. I'm pretty sure I slept like 19 of the last 24 hours. My mom and mother in law tell me it's normal and should get better as my hormones continue to change.

Malkahbracha · March 2015

I can barely get through an 8 hour day at work. It doesn't help that I'm on my feet those 8 hours. By the end of the night, I feel like a toddler staying up past bedtime cause in whiny and cranky. My fiance keeps telling me we could open a winery with all the whining I'm doing. Lol.

My house is a wreck I feel like the worst wife ever but meals and Never ending laundry and dishes seem to be close to my limit....

JLW0504 · March 2015

I'm not as exhausted this time around as I was with the first. I am pretty tired, but I'm also nesting already. I am finding that I can't sleep until my house is in order....which did not happen. at.all. the first time around. I live in a split level home and with my first, I chose "up or down" and just stayed on that level of the house until bed time. It was pretty bad.

You're not super lazy!! As another person said, you're growing a baby!!! But I understand- I feel frustrated by being too sick/wiped out to even go to the grocery store. I don't like feeling so limited all of the time. I'm trying to track when I feel the best/worst and then take advantage of that. Unfortunately, I'm usually way less sick in the evening/ at night by I am EXHAUSTED by 8:30. I am PRAYING this ends soon..... 7 wks 1 day....

renrondeau · March 2015

I have two of my own and my husbands son all week for spring break im so exhausted I wish I could nap I'm around 6 weeks.

MayBeSomeDay16 · March 2015

About two minutes before i read this post, i was nearly in tears because i'm at work and over exhausted. My toddler had a terrible night which didn't help. I want to go home, leave my toddler at daycare and be in my pj's all day and do nothing except things for myself.

Jame414 · March 2015

That's one of my only symptoms! It has been exasperated by having a cold last two weeks! I have my three year old take afternoon naps after lunch and I sleep with her for a couple hours on my days off work.

babymorrison2015 · March 2015

I am 9 weeks today and just getting over a bad flu! I'm thanking god I am finally feeling better. I work a night shift (4-12 am) and it is absolutely brutal around 8 pm cause all I want to do is nap!!!!! The exhaustion has been the most challenging thing to come along with the pregnancy thus far but of course worth it for the prize at the end

I hear it subsides in the 2nd trimester..here's to hoping!

bluebelle17 · March 2015

Yup! I live quite close to work, and I've been coming home to nap on my lunch breaks. More napping when I'm home from work, and no energy to do dinner or anything. I never imagined the first trimester would have so many symptoms - it seems a cheat to be so exhausted and sick with no big belly to show for it, and with noone at work even knowing that I'm pregnant!

mjfrost821 · March 2015

I felt that way at that point too. I couldn't stay awake past 8 pm. I'm 9 weeks now and have a little more energy.

Malkahbracha · March 2015

I closed at work yesterday from 2-11 and it was horrible. And I've got another 9 hour today. My manager, despite having 3 kids, doesn't seem to be even remotely sympathetic. I'm so tired, I don't know what to do with myself. My poor fiance had to deal with the end of the day cranky cause I didn't get enough sleep. I hope that when I have more kids in the future that I won't be this bad.
