Am expecting baby number 3 and am utterly shattered. My other two are 7 and 4 which isnt too bad but i was hoping to escape the tiredness.

Oh well prefer the tiredness to vomiting. Cant be sick to save my life!

Anyone else in the same situation?

JenJins You are not the only one, I am 6 weeks and this pregnancy has completely wiped me out, to the point its 6pm i'm finding it very hard to stay awake esp as DP is currently in Las Vegas till hes home weds morning. Although feel nauseous but not vomited yet.

Hope your okay other than that.

Thanks DarciesmumandBump2. I know what you mean about 6pm! I have been asleep by 8pm and then wide awake at 3am, then it ruins your sleep pattern totally.

One good thing though, i remember feeling soooo much better by 12 weeks. Hope you do tooSmile

Yep I'm up with the birds to which is sooo annoying!

DD went to bed for 7pm and so did I how I'm still awake I'll never know. Will still be up with the birds aswell.

Don't remember the first 16wks of my pregnancy with my DD who is now aged 6 as didn't find out till I was 16wks, so this is all a shock to me. Lol

Weeks 5-9 were the worst for me! I was so so so tired. Not a tiredness I had ever felt before. It was as if by 8pm I had hit a brick wall! Am now 10 weeks and although still tired its not as bad now! Good luck!

JenJins Didn't have a regular cycle, and the symptoms I did have I put down to my lifestyle at the time. was a big shock when my 21+2 week old baby was waving to me on the ultrasound when I thought I was only 16wks.

Dilly I hope your right about the tiredness thing, come 7pm last night all I wanted to do was sleep.

Glad to know it's not just me! I'm 6 weeks too and am feeling exhausted from about noon onwards; had to go for a lie down this lunchtime.
Plus yesterday morning I had my first proper retch and vomit moment, really hope that doesn't continue

I'm 5 weeks into my 3rd pregnancy and I'm absolutely knackered! I don't remember being this tired with the others. It doesn't seem to matter if I get a long lie or go to my bed early Smile

Its a horrible feeling and i hope it passes soon for us all. I actually feel rather down at times, which then brings all sorts of thoughts into my head like, have i done the right thing by having another one etc. Once ive had a snooze i feel ok but talk about hormones messing with your head.

Its always these bloody hormones!!!

I wish I could have a lay down in the afternoon too, hard with DP away. Roll on weds when he's home - hes never going on a weeks holiday without me again miss him so much.

Still feel sick, tired, tearful - blooming hormones!
