Yes, another very very tired mother here but I put it into perspective. Look at what your body is doing- in the first trimester creating another organ-type body part (that is so remarkable in what it does) in just 10-12 weeks (your placenta). The energy needed to do that is huge. And then growing your bub. I think it is amazing that we are not more tired, even though it is crazy just how tired I get. I have my night sleep (varies in quality...) and one or two sleeps during the day when DD sleeps. I think last time the tiredness really eased off after the first tri and I didn't need day sleeps any more. So what you are feeling is so very normal...
Same with the hunger- your body needs enrmous amounts of energy to make and grow baby and we get that energy from food. Therefore it's normal to be ravenous so eat up all that nutritious food!
This is mother natures way of telling you to rest and look after yourself! There is plenty of time to be busy! Rest when you can and keep thinking of the wonderful job you are doing!!
The absolute exhaustion. Tired from the moment of waking till the very moment of sleeping. Actually, tired WHILE sleeping I didnt have severe MS so I think it made up for it with the tiredness. I have never experienced tiredness like it before.
I felt tired again after having DD but it was a different tired.
It doesnt help if you are getting disturbed sleep from the constant toilet trips either
I found it eased to regular tired in the second tri and then to moderate/very tired in the third tri but not the extreme I had in the first. I could at least function at work and not make the silly pg mistakes eveyone laughs about. I think the tiredness was mainly to blame? (might be kidding myself there)
Try to eat healthily as bad foods certainly wont help the metabolism/tiredness. Rest whenever you can and dont feel guilty about it! Do a little excercise if you arent too sick as that will give you an endorphin lift. Remember it isnt forever.
After having a big old whinge yesterday, today I don't feel so bad. But when I don't feel so bad I worry that there's something wrong with the baby and it's all over.
I guess I'll just rest when I feel tired and hope that I develop some super-power that allows me to cook a baby without feeling so tired.
