Pregnants: how tired during 1st tri?

[Beener]

I do not remember being *this* tired with Emmy. I came home from work and fell asleep at 4:30. I didn't wake up until 7:30 a.m. today. This is nuts!

I cannot handle working, being a mom, cooking, cleaning. It's too much. Thankfully, DH is doing almost everything but I am feeling soooo guilty. Anyone else in the same boat or have tips on how to get through this? How long does this fatigue last again?

I'm still exhausted and I'm 22 weeks. I also was never this tired when I was pregnant the first time. I think it's just a mixture of chasing a toddler around all day, cleaning, cooking and the fact that I feel way more pregnant now than I did at 22 weeks with L. I go to bed early every night but I'm still so tired. I can't imagine working on top of this; you working pregnants are amazing!

Extremely tired. And I don't have a job and I nap every day. I am sooo tired.

I remember "they" say first tri is the worst for exhaustion, but I think "they" lied because I didn't feel the fog lift until closer to 16-18 weeks. The exhaustion is the number one thing I am not looking forward to whenever I'm pregnant again!

Not pregnant...but I can't even imagine. I was like a zombie during the first tri with Ansley. I came home every day and fell asleep. Luckily I was only a TA. I can't imagine having a toddler and work that required attention when I got home. More power to you super women! You can do it

@carawest- I can't imagine chasing a toddler around all day while feeling like this. I think SAHMs have it just as rough as working moms!

It's hard to compare since last time I was this pregnant was during the summer. But everything feels amplified this time. I hope you get some energy soon!

I was so so tired with Mia. I would come home from work and pass out, only to wake up for dinner and pass right back out again. This went on for weeks.

Exactly this.

So tired. I've been going to bed at 9pm and it doesn't even matter. I am always exhausted. Even if I take a nap on the weekend I am still exhausted

The motn insomnia also is not helping the situation.

This is how I was with Olivia and the major reason I'm hesitant on TTC right now! It was so bad, i can only imagine how much worse it would be with a toddler to care for too.

I was ridiculously tired until I was out of the 1st tri this time around. Now, I'm just a normal state of tired. I work FT so I'm always semi exhausted. But the 1st tri was The WORST.

So fucking tired. Like the most tired I have ever been in my entire life to date. I had a good rally for like 6 weeks in the second tri, but that's it. I feel like a zombie, man.
