Hugs Noni. You should start to feel less tired soon. Remember that your hormones are exaggerating your emotions too so that doesn't help. I agree with the other replies that it is hard for men to understand that you are actually much more tired in the first tri when you are not (or barely) showing than later when you are huge. One of the books says that a woman in her first tri burns more kilojoules at rest than a mountain climber (due to building the placenta). Perhaps you could tell him that? Also maybe see a GP to see if there are any AD you can safely take?
