Fatigue

Hi all. I’m 6 weeks pregnant and the main symptom I am struggling with is tiredness. I’m ALWAYS tired. No matter what day, how much sleep I seem to get. I work full time and feel like I’m about to fall asleep at my desk. I just feel like I have no energy. Just wondering how anyone else overcame this?

Ask for a blood test at the doctors. Might be your iron levels. I was given iron tablets when i was pregnant 😊

I was like this. Was pretty much the only symptom I had in early pregnancy. Just be kind to yourself. Get lots of sleep overnight (I was sleeping around 10 hours a night). It felt like all I was doing was sleeping and working during the week. Dont push yourself too much outside of work- the house doesn't have to be spotless and say no to socializing if you need to. Just remember its not forever x

Make sure you’re taking your folic acid girl! Maybe ring the doctors and ask them to check and I was the exact same and I didn’t find out until after! I’m really big on taking your folic acid and getting that checked because I had a bad experience by not taking the higher dose (if you want to message me I will explain it properly) but get some rest and try sleep as much as you can (easier said than done) xxx

I definitely am! I have a reminder in my phone every morning and take it religiously 😂 I’m gonna try and get some more sleep over the next few nights and if it doesn’t change I’ll see the doctors. Thank you lovely! Xx

I read a headline about a woman being arrested for starting a child fight club and that got me thinking...

Do you think your kid could win in child fight club? Mine could. I think that the fight club would just be him versus all the other kids.

Night terrors

Is it a thing?
My 16 month old girl woken up screaming, crying, practically hyperventilating for 5 mins straight, calmed her eventually and went back to sleep on me for ages .. put her back down and ten mins later happened again! Now back to sleep on me .. its 1am and I'm too scared to put her back down, literally got her sleeping on my chest sitting on sofa 😟,
Is it something I gotta get use too? Or one off? Lol

Do you think I'm pregnant?

Me and my husband had unprotected s*X the day before I ovulated, my period isn't due for another 7 days but my b**bs feel so full and tender and I don't normally get this pre period. What do you guys think? Do you think I could be pregnant.

Were happily married and already have 2 kids, we aren't trying but equally it would be a happy accident if it happend.

*obviously it's too early and we will only know if I have a missed period this
