Exhausted!!

[CSTAR]

I’m currently so exhausted !! My eyes are closing while I write this and it’s only gone 5!! This is my third pregnancy and I’m only going to be 5 weeks tommorow and it’s still so early!! ! I don’t remember it being this bad! I work full time thought? Any advice ! I just want to hide under the covers!!

I was the same with my second whilst working fulltime. I genuinely think its a mixture of the fact you are already busy at work then the kids and then the hormones!

No advice other than to get some extra support if your finding you need to sleep that bit more?

I would just wander into my bed once I put my LB into bed but from 5pm I imagine youll need a hand with dinners etc?

Take it easy, and take advantage of this time to sleep!

I'm ok so far.. I'm 5wks too.

But with my son I was in bed by 9pm every night - the tiredness was crippling... and before him I was a night owl - in bed at midnight/1am... bizarre isn't it.. I was slightly better in my 2nd trimester... but still tired.

I guess our bodies are busy growing a person.. we should expect it... lol..

I'm about 11 weeks and feel so tired all the time. I ended up telling work last week as I was working from home pretty much every day and napping twice a day too so I wasn't working my contracted hours. They were fine with it - guess it's better working a few hours a day than being signed off! Ask for more help at home too. I'm starting to feel slightly better and am down to one nap a day now so fingers crossed it only lasts a couple of weeks!

I am exactly the same and this is my third pregnancy around 6/7 weeks in - I'm ready for a nap already! Unfortunately both my children have had sickness bugs this week so had no rest during the day and up several times a night sob. I can't remember if I felt this exhausted in my previous pregnancies or not but I hope it passes

I am very much missing a decent night's sleep atm! I keep getting incredibly restless and it can take me hours to fall asleep, tossing and turning, too hot, too cold.

I'm struggling to find a comfortable position due to my boobs feeling like they are full of hot lava and my stomach being so bloated! And my nausea is always worse in the evenings too
Oddly enough I'm thrilled over the lot of it because it's all pregnancy related

Me too! Although it's frustrating as hell being exhausted (esp as I have a 2 year old to run around and a business to run), the only thing keeping me sane is knowing WHY I'm struggling to sleep. All worth it, isn't it?

Definitely worth it! I've felt awful today but still had a smile on my face
