Where is my energy?! (whingey post)

No reason for this post other than a good old moan!

I am sooo tired! I'm around 9-13 weeks pregnant, have a 2yo who still does not sleep through the night and work full time. My energy is gone. I could fall asleep any chance I get, and can't get up the motivation to do anything. I actually had a bit of a cry at the prospect of going to work this morning! I'm starting to forget what being alert feels like, as I'm wandering around zombie-fied most of the time.

Anybody else fancy a whinge? Please feel free to join in....

I'm 20 weeks and battling a cold. I've sleep so much this week which means I have loads to catch up on. I just can't be bothered. Felt this way since about 10 weeks, hoping to get the mythical glow and some energy soon!

Hope you feel better soon, I have lots of sympathy for you, especially as you have a toddler to run around after!

Yep me too!

I am 10w4d and trying to work full time in quite a stressful job whilst doing a degree equivalent professional course at weekends. I have an assignment due at the end of the month and with the best will in the world, I don't know how I will get it done/pass it. I'm exhausted from about an hour after I get up and my brain is not working properly. I've been staring at the questions for hours and nothing is happening in the old brain box!

I am so shattered by the time it gets to bed time (now 9pm at the latest) that I find myself getting tearful lying in bed because i'm JUST SO TIRED.

I can't imagine how you are coping with a 2 year old too! This is my first so at the very least I have the night to myself.

Really hoping that the promised 2nd trimester energy isn't a lie...

I'm 9 and a half and I feel flattened. Have a very demanding job ( today will be 15 hours long) and I've been so, so sick. I'm exhausted. Kudos to you for wrangling a toddler as well, I think that would just about kill me.
Eagerly awaiting this mythical second trimester glowy fabulousness.

I feel exactly the same 8+5 today and I haven't had any energy for weeks. I work full time, so does DH, DS1 (age 5) sleeps OK, but rarely sleeps past 6.30am and DS2 (age 2) is going through a very crappy sleep phase where he won't settle on his own at bedtime. I don't think I've ever been as tired as I am now. I nearly fell asleep on the train to work this morning :(

OMG I couldn't handle a toddler, I'm 9+2 and I'm seriously battered. I'm known for being superwoman at work, 15 hours per day no sweat, never miss a deadline, work from 7am - midnight every day, so on the ball.

The current situation? I wouldn't know the ball if it hit me in the face! I could sleep at my desk. Bed time is at 9pm and I'm having to tell work people I'm taking some evenings off to spend time with friends and family (sleep!) I feel so low energy, so tired and so sick and the worst bit is nobody knows.

If second trimester isn't better, I'm going to crack up!
