soooooooooo tired

[MamaPan]

Hi All
I dont remember being this tired when I was preg with DS... I know it is probably not anything to be concerned about but after some reassurance..
it hits me around 1030am - total exhaustion, to the pt I have had a nap the last few days and I never do this. if i didnt have to work or didnt have DS i could stay in bed ALL day.
is this normal? anything i can do about it? when will it pass?

It is terrible to have your body take over isn't it!!! I found that I had this type of tiredness when pregnant with DD2. Honestly I could barely stay awake and I can remember drifting to sleep (and drooling) on the couch whilst DD played. I felt so bad but I could not help it. Unfortunately you can't do too much about it, but try and get a good nights sleep and try and nap when DS naps. Fortunately it does pass. I found mine lasted until around 14ws and then I had so much energy I didn't know what to do with it.

BTW the tiredness thing has started for me too....

thanks honey - it is good to know it will pass.... i havebeen sleeping ok at night (though weirdly it is less bad in the evening) and when I have DS home I sleep when he sleeps... am finding work really hard though (just cancelled a trip for today and tomorrow but i cant always do that) - i just have NO energy at all during the day... oh well it is all worth it and i know it will pass - cant wait for that 2nd trimester energy surge!!!

Can't believe I spelt drool incorrectly....The tiredness is hitting me around 9am and staying till the evening, then I can't sleep!!!! Yes bring on second trimester I say

Hi there, I am just starting to get to the point where I am not relying on a day sleep everyday. I do try and have a sleep when DS does... but at least having a lay down when he's in bed.
It feels so much harder this time! I dont remember being this tired , and last pregnancy I was still working. How did I do it?
I am still suffering pretty badly from m/s aswell, but it's much the same as last pregnancy.Just harder when theres a little one to run around after. I hope you are feeling better soon.

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 coming in to post EXACTLY the same thing!!!

I am sooooo tired and I wasn't this way with DS. I was energized.

I can barely get out of my own way!!!

I couldn't even be bothered going to work today (prolly tomorrow too - stuff going on at work that has drained any energy I might have had left). DS does have gastro though, so he needs his mummy.

I wasn't tired when I have my m/c - I wasn't even sick - so I'm taking how I feel at the moment as a VERY good sign, as painful as it is!!

hi all
i must say i am feeling a lot better these days... still tired more than normal and in bed by 9pm every night but not that debilitating fatigue as it was earlier...
i hope my energy just increases now!!
i also had ms for a few weeks there and that is a lot better now...
YAY!

I have never been so exhausted....I am around 11 weeks now & still could sleep all day (since about week 5). Night times I sleep but wake up about 5 or 6 times a night.

I spent some time off work with m/s & slept all day and night. Now I have to come home from work at lunchtime because of tiredness & m/s. I can't wait to get some energy back!
