Exhausted - anyone else?

[tacosplease]

I suddenly feel like I’ve been hit by a bus today - I’m completely exhausted! Anyone else?

Why is the first trimester so incredibly tiring? Does it improve past 12 weeks?

@tacosplease I'm currently 8 and half weeks and around weeks 4-6 I felt exactly the same like a constant hangover. It's easing off slightly now x

First trimester is horrible I struggled to open the curtains in the morning before work. I'm 27 weeks now and It definitely gets better.

I’m 8 weeks and I haven’t left the house for a week. The tiredness is totally overwhelming and very frustrating when you have tons of stuff to do and a four year old getting bored!

It should get better. I’m 13 + 6 now and this is the first day I’ve had any energy. I work full time so have been dragging myself to work every day and then spending most of the weekend crashed out and napping in the sofa. If you use public transport then get a Baby on Board badge so that people give you a seat - although if, like me, you haven’t told your workplace yet then you do need to keep a look out for colleagues and remember to take the badge off again before you get to work!!
It will all be worth it in the end, just be kind to yourself.

For me it’s been a lot more variable with no obvious improvement through the trimesters (21+5 today) - i’m usually fine but have an exhausted day once a week or so.

I’m 6 weeks and really feel exhausted, drained and no energy. I have a 10mo too and my husband is currently away so it’s all a bit difficult at the mo!

Thanks all. I feel particularly drained, “hungover” and just shattered today. The house is in a right state as I haven’t had the energy to clean it (and DH has been working overtime recently). I’m in awe of anyone who has another young child to look after while being pregnant!
