Exhausted

[Mylasmummy2102]

So I'm 8 weeks and I literally feel like I've been hit by a bus! I work full time in a nursery and have 2 children and I do everything at home too and I think it's finally caught up on me.

I've taken today off as I've been up since 3 being sick as I suffer with bad sickness during pregnancy. But I feel terrible that I'm sat at home and let work down I just couldn't physically work today.

Is that bad? I'm only 8 weeks should I be this exhausted already? I also have hypothyroidism so that mixed in doesn't help.

Really hoping that it passes soon. How is everyone else feeling?

Early pregnancy is completely exhausting! In fact pregnancy in general is exhausting! I’m 20 wks now and still struggle with energy and tiredness. When I was 6 - 10 weeks I felt like I’d been hit by a truck. Tired, sick, no energy etc. It was just about getting through it a day at a time. Take the time you need off work and don’t feel guilty. It will pass! X

I am so glad to see this post. I am 10 weeks pregnant with my first baby and this is EXACTLY how I feel. Exhausted, headaches and constant nausea!! Unfortunately, I also suffer from Chronic Cluster Headaches so I’ve been off work for a month so far as I can’t take any medication. Fingers crossed it will start to ease 😟

It's so tiring isn't it!! It's mentally draining too. I don't remember feeling like this with my other 2 I had sickness but the tiredness wasn't as bad. Oh bless you headaches are horrible arnt they I haven't had any bad ones yet. I'm sat at home under the duvet not touching the house work and watching rubbish on tv I t probably sounds selfish but I need some me time for a few hours x
