Still v tired at 15 weeks?

[painfullyhonest]

I.m 15wks pg with dc2 and am struggling to do much more than the bare minimum still. Have dressed dd and folded laundry this morning and am sat here in my pjs. Feeling guilty about wanting to be in bed all the time. Have avoided the playground and am reading a lot of trashy novels on iPad.

Still getting some sickness, mostly in morning when I have to be careful not to move much after breakfast or I start heaving.

But sickness is so much better than it was I feel like tiredness should be gone now! How Are you feeling? Do you feel as lazy as I do?

I felt like that for the whole of both my pregnancies. Sorry, probably not what you want to hear! The morning sickness got better after 20 weeks, but I was still uber-picky about what I would/wouldn't eat.

It's not lazy, by the way. You are growing a whole new person. :) And you need all the rest that you can before you have a baby and a toddler.

Thanks mrst am not freaking out...yet. Seem to remember feeling more energetic and smiley at some point during last pg and I'm waiting for that feeling to come back! (hopeful emoticons). Have been told by osteo that I need to do more exercise to improve bAck pain but I truly don't know how I will drag myself to classes or pool. Even tho I know it will prob improve my energy levels!

Im 16 weeks

I have had horendous sickness, since 5+6, and its still pretty bad but so much better than it was.

I think i stopped feeling extremly tired around 13 weeks, and am just a bit tired now

Hi painfully I'm a first-timer and am 16+ 3. I'm as tired now as I was at the start. The sickness and tiredness got bit better for a few weeks around weeks 11-14 but can't believe it's all came back with a vengence! Hopefully we'll start to feel better soon

at the hope. 22wks with dc4. Knackered.

are you all getting stuff done tho? am permanently behind with laundry, kitchen a mess, bed not made (but have managed to clear the floor next to it - a start) and am now scrambling to get sausages and smilies on for DD to eat before nursery.

Am planning to get some nice new cds for DD and some plastic food for her to play with while she's at nursery, if I'm not going to take her anywhere then I should at least make sure she's entertained at home! Will also get some more rubbish books for myself I think know your limits and all that...

Ridiculous thing is that I don't even think I'm done with having babies yet!! this pg has been pretty awful, just endlessly feeling crap but I don't believe that my family is complete. Ideally I'd like 4 but will probably stop at 3... perhaps the complete feeling will come when DC2 has done the 12th poo of the day and dd is screaming for peppa pig and dinner isn't cooked yet etc etc

Just wanted to add that you are def not alone. I am 13 weeks PG and have had awful morning sickness since about 6 weeks. Confined to hugging the porcelain throne for days at a time then having a couple of days being able to eat/drink very few types of anything (usually Lucozade and fruit) then back to puking everything up. Due to this I have had even less energy and have been exhausted vacuuming half the living room when I feel well enough to do it. I am behind with the housework, can't find the energy to get involved in anything with DS [major guilt emoticon] and have hardly managed to make dinner since I started being sick.

I am SOOOO tired too. Seems like the initial complete physical exhaustion has turned to being dog tired from insomnia that has developed and having no decent, healthy food to sustain me.

I try so hard not to complain about this in RL so tend to vent on here lots. I feel guilty for feeling like this since it took us a while to conceive and had an early MC last year plus the fact that we know a couple who are struggling to conceive. I just feel so lazy too.

I do remember still being a bit sick at 20 weeks first time round but by 21 weeks I felt so, so much better so that is my milestone this time and I am much better than last week so taking it a day at a time. I think it seems difficult for people to understand you are not just being lazy though. DH was saying he sometimes forgets I am PG unless I am hugging the bowl so although I don't have a bump yet, they don't realise we ARE growing a whole new person from scratch and all our ligaments are stretching, organs are moving, hips widening etc etc. On top of that all the PG hormones make me so much more sensitive to criticism even if it's not intentional so I already feel guilty about being "lazy" and therefore sometimes have a rant at home about "Look.... I am not being lazy but I didn't get the vacuuming done today because" rant rant rant followed by floods of tears probably! Things should even out a bit in the 2nd trimester I think... I hope!

Sorry - that was a bit long and ranty

I project an image of togetherness. But in reality my life is falling apart. But I'm happy!

me too. i'm 15 weeks and I am exhausted... i feel so lazy as I should be doing housework but I really have no energy.

whinging on here has made me feel better - as have yr replies! I am so very grateful that I don't have a proper job. I did some cupcakes for a party the other week and after a day of working on finicky decorations I was absolutely wrecked and could barely walk due to back pain the next day. so I'm not planning on taking on much more baking for now....

one load of laundry on and am going to have energising lunch before going to shops. Hope that DD will be delighted with her treats!

For goodness sake, woman, whinge away! And quit it with the 'proper job' twaddle. Your growing a new human and keeping another one fed and clean. What's improper about that?!

I have trained my girls (13 & nearly 11) to say to DH 'mum couldn't do x / had to eat y as baby needs her to rest / wanted her to eat y'. TBH it's not taking much training as they are very keen to read up on pg and keep googling thoroughly age inappropriate sites!

wow button they will make the best sisters ever! you are lucky to have them so ready to help and support you!!

They are both a lot more into the whole thing than last time (when they were 10&7). DD1 appears to be treating me as her very own biology project and dd2 is never knowingly outdone (by anyone, let alone dd1!). Usually it's great, but just very occasionally it can be a little stifling!

But hey, I'm pg, I'm allowed to be irrational and grumpy and snappy and greedy and lazy and forgetful (feel free to insert your own here!)...

I just came on to start an almost identical post and then saw this, so thanks you saved me a little bit of energy!

I'm 11+3 and struggling to do much at all, it's so frustrating as I'm normally the sort of person that likes to do (and I have a million and one things that need doing). My poor DH has cooked every meal for the past few weeks, although now he is going for ready meals as I can no longer want to eat anything but Hienz tomato soup (occasionally). I was hoping that someone would tell me that it would all disappear at the magical 12 weeks, oh well I will just have to keep my fingers crossed.

im 26+4 and tiredness never really left in fact its got worse in the last few wks- still waiting for the burst of energy to kick in but at this rate its not going to!
