When does the tiredness end?

[SLP88]

Hi all,

I am currently 13 weeks and 4 days pregnant with my first baby and today i am absolutely exhausted. I am so tired i feel like i could cry :(

I have heard tiredness eases off in the first trimester - is this true? There is a light at the end of this very dark sleepy tunnel?

Thanks
Sara

It was about 13-14 weeks before I started feeling normal.

I started to feel less tired by about week 15. All those early pregnancy symptoms disappeared around that time. I’m 23 weeks now, It does get better I promise xx

This isn't me too OP! Currently in bed off work, feel like I've been hit by a bus, so achey and tired! I hope it gets better for both of us 😂🤦🏻‍♀️🤰🏻💗💙 xx

Tiredness ends in about 18 years!

(Sorry, couldn't resist )

Possibly when they move out.

with both my pregnancies at 14-15 weeks i felt so much better, i felt normal again, until around 28-30 weeks then the tiredness came back! you’ll get there.

Thanks ladies so hoping at end of next week i will start to feel a difference. I have a whole weekend off this weekend so planning on resting.

I just feel so down and tired, cooking and housework is hardly getting done cause am shattered.

I cant wait to feel normal again for a while before the sleepness nights begin x

Nobody’s going to die if the housework isn’t done. Leave it,get plenty of rest before baby’s actually here xx

I'm 13+4 too and am only just starting to feel a bit more human now!

Felt amazing from 14 weeks to 30 weeks. Now getting a bit tired again at 31 but think that may have been due to dwindling iron supplies.

Not even when they leave home ime.

Around 18 weeks I started to feel a bit better it’s so hard that pregnancy tiredness xx

Tiredness stop?

Hahahahahahahahaha.

Mid twenties I am told by my DM.

Sorry not helpful. Just make sure you are eating as well as you can.

16 weeks and I’m feeling a bit more normal and can get through the day ... get a solid 9-10 of kip of a night tho! I think feeling better more energy for me has gone hand in hand with sickness subsiding so eating a wider variety of food - and more food - now starving

Im 18+1 and im exhausted all the time. Currently trying not to fall asleep at my desk haha!

The tiredness never stopped for me, especially as I was also waking up multiple times in the night from early on (for the loo). Shortly before my baby was born I had one memorable night where I woke up 7 times. I then had no sleep for 3 nights in a row due to being in latent labour and giving birth. Baby is now 3 weeks old and I'm still shellshocked, but at least when I wake in the night it's because he's here

Fingers crossed you feel better going into the 2nd trimester!

I thought I felt tired when I was pregnant. Then the baby was born and I realised what true exhaustion felt like! For me the tiredness never lifted during pregnancy and it just got worse after giving birth.

I second littlecabbage!

I'm 18 weeks pregnant and am tired. I also have teenagers at home and have been tired most of the time for about 17 years now.

Oh OP I'm 13+6 and feel the exact same way. Can't wait to feel normal (ish) again 😂

I'm 25 weeks and it's only been the last 2 weeks or so that I've had the energy to cook anything that requires more effort than sticking in the oven!

I'm yawning as I type this, but I'm definitely LESS tired lol

I'm 28 weeks and I've been tired the whole pregnancy. It was worse in the first trimester and now I feel like it's getting worse again. This is my 4th baby and I've been like this with all my pregnancys, not myself tired and run down. Never got the glow I think it just depends on you. We are all different, so I hope you do start to feel better. X

21 months post partum and counting....no sign of it abaiting. Perhaps when they're 18??

So basically I will never feel awake again 😂

I slept for 11 hours last night and feel better tides thankfully 😊
