soooooooooo tired

[myson]

i WAS extremely tired. sleeping 2-3 hrs in the day and 9 hrs at night. I never was this bad with my first two. But now it seems that insomnia is the new thing. awake til 1am and wide awake again at 7am... i would rather be sleepy!

Just rest, rest, rest, you will get through it.

I was so exhausted in the first trimester, I would almost be vomiting from tiredness by the time I got home from work and started running around after a toddler. With my first pregnancy I could just come home and crash on the couch so it wasn't so bad!

It got ok again after about 10 weeks but the tiredness has now come back with a vengeance as I can't sleep properly at night or get comfortable

I'm lucky at the moment because i was unemployed when i found out i was pregnant, and just about to accept another job. And now my DP doesn't want me to work while pregnant so i turned down the job offer.
So i'm at home all day, and as boring as it is, i'm glad i am cause i get to sleep as much i want.
But on Saturday my partners little 3yr old girl a.k.a "cylcone paige" is coming over from her mothers where she lives to stay with us for three weeks.
And as i'm home all day, guess who's looking after her while partner sleeps (he works a 14hr graveyard shift everynight)
So while sleeping all day has been good so far, i'm gonna have to kiss it goodbye.
p.s. has anyone had problems with sleeping at night, while having none during the day????

Hi Sophie,

I can totally sympathise with you, I am 9 wks pregnant and have been exhausted from day 1. I have also recently been to see my Dr who says I have Sciatica (just my luck), I too hve been at home during the day and b/c of the pain find it very difficult to sleep at all (day or night). My only suggestion is try to nap as much as you can and stay well nourished to maintain some form of energy.

Hope this helps
