I'm between 5 and 6 weeks pregnant and I'm constantly exhausted. I have at least 10 hour sleep a night but after an hour of being awake I feel like I'm ready for another sleep.
For my job I have to write reports, and I have 4 to write by monday (not that long.. can do 2 a day and it should only take me a few hours over a couple of days). My only problem is that I'm far too tired to actually concentrate. I know it seems stupid because I've been scrolling down mumsnet but I find this easy to do when half asleep.
I feel like I need to drink a giant cup of coffee but I'm trying to cut out caffeine. I only ever drink extremely weak tea (teabag is dipped in and out so I basically drink warm milk) so that doesn't do anything for me. I don't want to risk drinking anything with too much caffeine in because I'm trying to play everything really safe during this pregnancy. I'm just not sure what I can take or do to wake myself up everything I do tends to drain any energy I have.
I just want to get my work done to relax without sitting at my computer and slipping into a small coma.
anyone have any advice to wake me up? except pouring a cold bucket of water over myself despite how tempting it is!
