Working is hard when tired

I am 11weeks,4 days and still have no energy. On top of being tired, I have a hard time eating and have been suffering from depression. The dad is in the picture but has 2 other children and I know that he won't be able to give the attention that this little one will need. That's where the depression comes in. Going to work every day is a challenge and some days I just can't even pull myself out of the bed until about 10am (shift starts at 8). Anyone else experiencing this? Any advice? I'm 27and a first time mom.I feel so overwhelmed and lost with this.

Re: Working is hard when tired

  • It's normal.  Hang in there.  I'm too exhausted to write more...

  • I'm right there with you. Exhausted, nauseaous, and so depressed and emotional about feeling exhausted and nauseaous.

    What I will say is that you are so close to being out of the first trimester. You are going to get to that second trimester high really soon! for my first pregnancy, I went from super sick to feeling great! And being super happy and excited about the baby. You will get through it.

    Also, This bump community was really helpful for my first, I felt less alone in the way I was feeling. and I'm counting on it for this pregnancy too (especially given I'm having twins and am super overwhelmed).
  • The first trimester is all about survival mode. You're almost to the point where you will feel better!! Hang in there. Just do what you have to do to make it through then when you're feeling better you can try to figure out some solutions to the issues that are worrying you!
  • I feel you! My DD was home sick today and I went to lay with her to check on her...and accidently fell asleep for two hours. So, I'm working now to make up for it! It's tough to stay focused, but you will get through it and it will get better!
  • I'm SOOO lazy right now. Especially at work.
  • I'm so sorry, that sounds really tough especially with limited support. I get the extreme exhaustion. Today I couldn't keep my eyes from watering and yawned about 30 times in a half hour meeting. I lumbered down halls like a zombie and fell asleep on the toilet. :/ I hope you're feeling better quickly as your first tri ends. Almost there!
  • Ohhh I feel you...I am sooooooo tired all the time. By the time I get to work every morning, I'm ready for a nap.  It's so hard to stay focused because all I do is yawn and think about going to bed.  The nausea I have isn't helping either...I hear the second trimester is MUCH better....I can't wait to get there....I miss feeling human....

  • I really hope that the 2nd Trimester is easier like everyone says, but I really cant see beyond this. I feel like it will never get better. Its so sad that the people around me think Im exaggerating or being lazy...
