Early pregnancy exhaustion

[MysticKitten]

Hi guys, 5+3 here. I’m so exhausted it feels like I have the flu but I’m not sick. My body feels weak and I don’t have the energy to do much. I dread the thought of going to work, where I’m on my feet and going fast the whole time in a hot kitchen. I actually called off yesterday and today was my actual day off. I’ve been sleeping or just laying down. I’m scared things are going to get worse and I physically won’t be able to handle my job. If this pregnancy is like my last two, nausea is going to hit soon and I’ll be miserable for a while. What can I do? Advice?

The exhaustion usually gets a lot better / disappears after the 3 month mark. I was exhausted in both my pregnancies in the first trimester, failing asleep at about 7pm every night! (thankfully for this one I was on the end of my maternity leave so could nap on the couch!) xx

I don’t remember feeling so tired with my other 2. Did you have boys or girls? My first two are boys

I have one girl and haven’t found out the sex of this baby! So unsure xx

Nausea has started today. Fingers crossed it stays mild and doesn’t last too many weeks! Hope you feel well throughout your pregnancy
