First trimester exhaustion

10 weeks with dc3 and I'm mind numbingly tired. I'm working 4 x 13.5 (+ travel) hour days and I feel like any day now I'm just going to breakdown.
I don't remember it being SO bad with my previous DC. How is best to handle it? I'm currently sleeping the moment I get home and waking up as late as possible as well as trying to nap on my days off but I feel no better, it's like any amount of sleep makes no difference to the level of exhaustion.

Any suggestions?

I sympathise, I had terrible fatigue in the 1st trimester. It's improved in the 2nd trimester but I still fall asleep on the sofa often.

Have you had your bloods done? Are you taking a pregnancy multivitamin?
