Utter exhaustion

Currently 3 w 5days. Over the offset two days OMG the exhaustion is debilitating… are you telling me this gets worse?? I was pregnant back in October but miscarried at 6weeks but I don’t remember felling this tired this early! Maybe that’s a good sign and I’m def not complaining just never experienced this

Dreading work tomorrow.

I’m 6w2d and I’m so tired all the time too. 2hours nap are my go to. I’m lucky enough that I’m working from home for myself. I can manage me time to rest. However I feel guilty to not do more and also thinking it’s just the beginning of the pregnancy, what’s going to be like later then ?! 😅

6 weeks, 3 days. So goddamn tired. Everyone’s telling me I need to get some exercise every day for the baby… how am I supposed to exercise when just making myself an easy breakfast in the morning wipes me out?! My partner is trying to convince me to go for a walk to the park with him this afternoon bc it’s so nice out, but ughhhh I’m nauseous and light headed and my legs feel like lead

I feel you ! I was actually telling myself I should do a 30 min daily walk but I just don’t have any energy 😫

sounds about right ! Woke up at 11:00, made myself a smoothie, drank it, went back to sleep, woke up 2 hours later 🤣

oh no it does get worse lol

I literally took a 4 hr nap, ate then went back to for 2 more hours. Feel like an absolute bum

same! I don’t know how I’m going to make it to work tomorrow

@Kourtney Netter for me it did. I took a 4 hour nap the other day, woke back up for 2 hours, then back to sleep for a solid 10.
In fairness, I work 12hr shifts 5x a week so I think it's a combo of the two. Pregnancy does not like my schedule

yeah my boyfriend said go for a walk…. WALK? I barely feel like changing the tv channel

I'm 7 weeks and 2 days and ugh constant naps are needed

@Kourtney Netter it may be hard work now but in the end feels amazing

7 weeks and 5 days and I’m ALWAYS tired.

Yup. Pregnancy is extremely exhausting. A lot of energy goes to the growing embryo/fetus

Avatar

gotcha! Yeah this whole working thing is nuts :) I wish you automatically got the entire first trimester off paid

Avatar

yep so I’m taking it as a good sign last time my hcg wasn’t rising correctly and I had tons of energy, but it’s kicking my add this time and I’m only 1w 6days past conception so I’m going to count that as a positive thing

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
