Yes, fatigue is pretty bad in the first tri. At least it was for me. There were some nights I went to bed around 7:30pm because I just couldn't stay awake.
This was actually the very first PG symptom I noticed, though at the time I didn't know I was PG. I just thought I wasn't getting enough sleep and would down a Diet Coke every afternoon. Obviously I stopped that once I found out the cause.
I will also say I've noticed I'm super tired in the afternoons again - not as bad as first tri, but where I'm feeling like I need a nap. I'm hoping it's a fluke and is not going to continue, because I don't want to deal with it for another 3 months.

Monday night, I went to bed at 6:15! I have a feeling it will be another early bedtime for me tonight.
Same here it just hits and I couldn't hold my eyes open a second longer. I haven't gotten the 2nd tri energy everyone talks about but i can make it til 9 usually.
Late first tri it hit me like a ton of bricks, out of nowhere. I'd be at work and it would take everything I had to keep my eyes open, and not crawl under my desk and fall asleep on the tile floor.

Fatigue was the worst symptom for me in the first tri. I was in bed by 8pm without fail for weeeeeeks. It was so awful but there's literally nothing to be done; I exercise and am physical for my job, and they say that can help the fatigue but it's a dirty lie.
Yes, that is how I knew I was pg the second time. I would get instantly tired and could not shake it. Good luck, there are def. peaks and valleys of fatigues in pg.
Yeah, it was like trying to walk through a wall of honey most days - there was a good few-week stretch that I was in bed by 7 or earlier every night.
It does get better. Eventually it goes away, but before that you'll *kind of* start to get used to being SO tired so frequently. Hugs and hang in there!

lol This was always such a joke to me, because exercising meant finding the energy to do it in the first place, which was not happening between the fatigue and nausea!

Truth. haha
I mean, in regular circumstances ie when I'm not pg, I find this to be true, but this rule does not apply when all you want is a surface to fall asleep on. Any surface will do. The couch, the floor...
