Absolutely ZERO energy. How do you manage??

I've been pregnant once before, and I remember feeling more tired and sleeping heavier. But this one is SO different! I have no kind of drive. Taking a shower wipes me out. I'm lucky enough not to be working for a couple weeks, but I feel like such a bum. On top of feeling completely exhausted, I can't sleep! How does anyone find energy with this nonsense happening in your body? This little bugger better be REAL cute...

    Ugh I feel the same way. Thankfully my husband has been home the last few days to help but I feel bad for how much he's had to do. I just can't bring myself to multi task like I used to!

    Same here! I haven't cooked dinner in several days, poor DH...I was just saying to him that I think I could've slept this entire day. Enjoy your couple of weeks off and get as much rest as you need. Just hang in there, I hear it gets better allegedly?!?

    Honestly, on days like that, i hit the caffeine. If i truly need to function fir the eake if my other kids, a can of diet coke does wonders. Also, power nap during the day if you can. I put Dd2 down for a nap and turn on a show for Dd1 and i can usually get thirty minutes. Good luck!

    I still have one cup of coffee in the morning but otherwise I drink a ton of water. I feel so much more awake on days I hydrate a lot versus days I dont

    Lol you are not alone. I'm drained too. And usually I'm the type if person that can't sit still. My fav cousin knows I'm pregnant, and she can't believe how wiped out I am lol. I try to take a nap during the early afternoon so I can sleep later in the evening.

    I'm feeling so sick and tired.  My 18 mo old is just running awry while I try and merely exist on the couch.  This last week has been bad.  I'm dreading work tomorrow and Tuesday, at least it's only two days this week.

    I feel bad that I'm neglecting my daughter while lying on the couch, but I know that she is ok and this is just temporary. Right now I am running on the fumes of bitterness and determination.
