Pregnancy

I'm far too exhausted to contemplate a 2nd baby and I'm only 6.5 wks PG!!

I can't BELIEVE how shattered I am. Every limb weighs enough to floor a rhino and I can barely speak I'm so breathless all the time. This is definitely the pregnancy but if I carry on like this, I'll be too tired to give birth and too tired to look after the new baby.

Please tell me it gets better and lie if you have to!

Yes it gets better (around 12-16 weeks) and believe me you'll be so huge at the end that you won't care how tired you are you will just want it out.
By the way I found chocolate helped a lot!!!!

I agree with scoggins, chocolate is a wonderful medicine!

Oh that first trimester is truly horrendous - I would come home after work and just cry, and then crawl off to bed at 7.30pm, then drag myself up the next day for more of the same.

But it does get better - by the time I was 9 months pregnant I was walking a couple of miles and swimming 50 lengths a day in our local pool!!!

You poor thing! There really is nothing like pregnancy tiredness, I felt so tired I thought I would die! It does pass though after the first 10/12 weeks, in the mean time though chocolate really does seem to be the only logical solution - and lots of it!xx

But I really do think that I might die - it wasn't like this with DD - perhaps it's a boy...or worse. Twins. Why is it different for different pregnancies - does anyone know? I am dreading tomorrow and all I have is DD all day. No work until Tuesday. I am seriously considering going to bed now.
