How's your energy level?

Im 7 weeks this Wednesday/Thursday with my 4th pregnancy (hopefully 2nd child) and my energy level is non existent! It's killing me. I've been sleeping 9-10 hours a night and still drag my feet. Please tell me I'm not alone?

  • I've only got out of bed if I absolutely have too... It's horrible.
  • I am beyond tired ALWAYS!!!! Growing a human is hard work girls! Here to hoping this is temporary! Good luck!!! :)
  • What energy?

    3 miscarriages - 1 DS (6) - 1 DD (3)  - #3 due March 30!


  • I'm wiped out. I can literally pass out at my desk during the day! Be greatful your sleeping 8-9hrs a night lol I am lucky if I get 7 and that's not even straight through. Between getting up to pee and pregnancy insomnia I'm ready to rip my hair out :(
  • Same here I'm sleeping 9-10 hours a night and still dragging at work. I find places at work I can just sit in the quiet and close my eyes for a few minutes just to gain enough energy to make it through the day....
  • I'm exhausted all the time, but I can't sleep at night.  I'm averaging only 4 broken hours of sleep through the night. I try to nap a couple hours in the afternoon, but even that sleep is broken.  Most days I don't even know how manage to get anything done.  I did go on a walk tonight, though.  I got about a mile from my house and called my brother to come take me home. :)
  • I have 4 boys and work fulltime... hubby trying to pick up some of the slack but I am EXHAUSTED
  • I'm in the same boat. I'm always really tired. It's been getting better in the past week though, so there's hope! :)

  • I'm with you on this one!! I sleep 9-10 hours well I try after getting up to pee and then trying to get comfortable, but regardless of how much sleep i have enough is never enough!! I also have a 4 year old and if I didn't I would live in bed! ☺️ xx
  • I'm constantly exhausted. Work is a pain and usually sends me into tears a couple of times because I can't get anything done as efficiently as I used to. Ready for that 2nd tri!
  • This has been my biggest issue for weeks. No morning sickness, just EXSAUSTED. I to to work about 4am. After I get off work, around 1:30 I'm asleep by 3 and waking up about 6, then back to bed around 9:30 and start all over again. Trust me id give anything to have my energy back lol.
  • You are not alone! I am a FTM, and I too sleep 9 hours a night but am completely exhausted at 7 weeks! I get a little burst of energy after I eat, but the rest of the time I could go to sleep on a dime!
  • Mine is finally starting to increase since I hit my 10 week mark on Friday. Thank Jebus.

    I had been around a 2 out of 10 for the last three weeks, now I'd say today I was around a 4.25.

    Yeah!
  • Yeah I'm with you. So tired. All the time.

  • I'm up 3-5x a night peeing and 2-3x with my 16 month old (mostly after 4am). I'm pretty sure that I'm never going to sleep again.
  • My husband and I run a small dairy farm together. I get an average of 6-6 1/2 hours of sleep each night. That 4am alarm is a killer, and I'm always dragging getting the AM chores done. The days I get a 1-3hr nap are the best, but even then I feel like I could use more. Hope that mythical, 2nd trimester energy boost really exists!
