I am 8 weeks preg and finding I am getting REALLY tired, particularly in the afternoons. I have day naps whenever my toddler is having a nap. I am having my thyroid tested to see if that is contributing to the tiredness problem.

With my first pregnancy, I was working full-time and was getting pretty tired - I discussed this with my colleagues and they were very understanding and encouraged me to rest as needed. Sometimes I actually drove home and had a nap for an hour in the middle of the day, or left work early. I pretty much went to bed straight after dinner.
