Pregnancy exhaustion

Anyone have any tips on how to deal? Around 14 weeks and really struggled to get through the week. Was able to nap today since it’s a weekend but somehow feel worse rather than better after.

I've been having naps from 5-8pm and then getting back up and doing my computer work until about midnight lol. All to say, I feel your pain!

Up until this week (I started a job this week) I had been taking naps at least twice a day! I’m 14 weeks today and still waiting for this supposed second wind you get in your second trimester

I was feeling a lot more energy until this week at 13 weeks I am getting tired. The heat outside doesn’t help either. About to take a nap right now

My first trimester till about 15+2 I was so tired all day everyday and I would wake up at 6 am, stay up till 4-6pm then go to sleep till 11pm-1am and fall back asleep from 1am-3am and wake back up at 6. And now I go to bed 9-11 and wake up 7-9. I’m still tired throughout the day but it’s more manageable and I’m not forcing myself to stay awake.

It seems counter intuitive, but I’ve realized that napping makes me more tired. Instead of napping, I’m trying to go on a walk or do something like go to the grocery store, and it seems to reenergize me. I’ve been getting about 10 hours of sleep each night to make sure I’m not sacrificing sleep

I’m thirteen weeks tmr, my energy has definitely increased I could sleep all day before this week, so it may be a week or two but you’ll start to maybe get your energy back everyone is different, but the start of the second your symptoms should subside
