9 weeks and totally wiped out

I’m 9+3. Went on a mission yesterday to clean the house top to bottom, get all the washing done then decided to pull all the weeds up on the front drive on hands and knees. Started aching in my stomach and back just as I was finishing up. Today I’m just a total write off. I feel sick and I’m just totally drained. Anyone else’s energy totally zapped???

Hell, me!

I’m 8+1 and am beyond tired. In bed by 9 (admittedly up at 5), back to bed 1-3 times a day and napping for at least an hour a half. And I feel almost constantly sick and keep getting headaches, just to make it extra fun.

I am incredibly lucky to have a few weeks off work with my partner, or don’t know how I’d cope. I wasn’t like this with my first so it’s a bit of a shock! I’ve had to stop yoga, dog walks and pretty much everything, just head down in survival mode.

Awful, isn’t it?

I'm 10+6 and feel this way. Even walking to the shop leaves me exhausted for the rest of the day (20 mins walk). I think conserve energy for where you really need it...

I'm very lucky I Work term times only!!!

I felt like this in the first trimester, I had never experienced exhaustion like it and no amount of sleep helped. It eased off around 12 weeks and apparently that's the norm as the placenta takes over so you hopefully haven't got long to go before having a bit more energy.

Glad it’s not just me, husband thinks I’m milking it. I can’t remember feeling like this with my first pregnancy. I’ve had 2 miscarriages the last couple of years and didn’t feel this nackered, I’m hoping it’s a sign that it’s all going well and all my energy is going into making a healthy baby!!!

I’m lucky enough to only work 3 days but just the thought of going in tomorrow is wearing me out!!!! X

Oh god yes. I’ve been useless since about 6 weeks.

I’m now 22 weeks and not sure how DH is putting up with me 😂 I have to have a sit down every 5 minutes 😂

I'm 15 + 6 days now and the tiredness is wearing off. You defiantly need to take it easy in the first trimester because once you over do it it'll wipe you out for days. It's ok if the dishes pile up and you don't get all the washing done as long as you get some rest. I'm waiting for the so called 'energy burst' of the second trimester but I'm not as tired as I was a few weeks ago so it will get better x

God thought just me 9+3 with 3rd pregnancy, have felt terrible since 6 wks 😱. Had a week of feeling sort of normal doing lots at home and with the DC, but last few days feeling awful again.

Yep, I'm 8 weeks and constantly shattered, I can play with toddler for 10 minutes then I feel like I need to lie down for half an hour to recover. I felt fab in the second trimester last time so hoping the same will happen again this time!
