No energy whatsoever today!

I have had no sickness or anything yet in my pregnancy (touch wood!), but today I just feel so drained.
I slept so well last night but i ache all over today and can hardly keep my eyes open!
Is this normal?!

Hi hun, just popped in from tri3, I know how scary tri1 can be so I like to offer advice where I can!! I felt exactly the same as you and unfortunately the fatigue hasnt really given way much throughout my whole pregnancy. Your body is working soo hard at the moment and it's totally normal to feel drained and even exhausted. Like you, I slept so well all the time, still felt drained lol. It might be worth having your bloods done if you havent already just to check you're not anaemic? And if you're not taking any other meds I'd grab some pregnacare (can get it at tesco, holland and barrett etc) thats got iron and folic acid + everything else you need and you just take one a day throughout the pregnancy xx

Thanks hun.
Most of the time I feel fine, but the odd day here and there I just can't do anything!

Hi hun, I was the same from 5 weeks until 9 weeks really, very tired and by 4pm work was a struggle! But now nearly 10 weeks and it seems to be easing, like u I too havent had any other symptoms other then sleepyness and sore boobs! Maybe take some iron supplements to help but check with pharmacy!x

Thanks.
Thats exactly the same as me. Just tired and sore boobs!
My mum and my nan never had any sickness while they were pregnant so I might be lucky!

Yea I was only just talking to a friens a min ago moaning I dont feel preggers! I know if I had sickness I would wish I didnt but when you have no symptoms really you do wish that you did! No win situation!!! Its the waiting for a scan to make sure there really is a baby inside me that seems to be forever away! Not had a scan date yet, checking the post every day! Im sure once we have both had our scans and know all is well we can calm with the worrying!xx

I'm the same today so haven't gone into work. I'm totally exhausted, been sick quite a bit this morning and i seem to have back pain. Just rest when you can hun, I'm of the opinion now that if I need the rest to take it rather than trying to carry on and making myself really ill. Xx

 

[SamStevens]

Yeah thats right.
I believe baby comes first!
12 weeks is so far away!
Im terrified to cough, sneeze, all sorts at the mo!
Its silly, but because I don't feel a baby there, its all very surreal at the mo!

Im sure its just maternal instinct! I just think as long as Im in no pain, no blood, no cramps I am fone, not going to worry too much! The wating is a nightmare as I can not wait for anything!!!!!!x

 

[SamStevens]

Same here!
Im such an impatient person!
The last 7 weeks have gone so quick, but I know the next 5 are going to drag!
