9 wks pg and I feel like I have been poisoned, I have NO energy is this normal???

[superwitch]

please reassure me - I feel like I have something seriously wrong with me.

no your just pregnant

chances are it will pass about 13 weeks

I felt like that too, from about 8 - 12 weeks. The tiredness is unbelievable, isn't it? Have you got morning sickness?

It sounds normal to me, but I would contact the doctor or your midwife if you are worried, just to put your mind at rest.

yep - it's perfectly normal. It will pass soon.

That's one of the things they don't tell you before you are pregnant - the sheer weight of exhaustion that can dominate the first few weeks.
It should pass in a few weeks. Till then rest when you are tired, sleep if you need to. You body is coping with a lot of changes.

Congrats btw

congratulations
yep, perfectly normal

i was always a tad surprised didn't get a bollocking from work for being slumped over desk half-asleep in those early weeks before you've told anyoone you're pregnant.

Yes, completely normal. The bone aching fatigue of 1st trimester tiredness is a complete bugger.

It will pass, but if you are concerned have a chat with your midwife. It's a bit early, but they might want to check your iron levels.

Try lying on your bed and weeping dramatically. I always found that helped.

ms all day everyday - only up chuck in the morning but constantly feel sick.

Superwitch - completely normal. In fact, everyone told me that it is a sign of a good strong baby!

Though the tiredness should pass, it isn't unheard of for the sickness to last the whole 9 months...but I'm sure that won't happen to you .

I'm not functioning at all - signed off work, house a tip, i've even started online shopping!

Gosh yes it's terrible

I remember my best friend saying that she knew she was "either pregnant, or dying."

Much sympathy!!!

signed off work is a shame - I would just roll in to work and then go to bed when I got home. What do you do?

Tis perfectly normal. I remember sleeping for a whole 24 hours when I was pg with ds1. Missed Boxing Day 1987 completely!

I used to eat my lunch at my desk before the official lunch hour, then rush home, set my alarm clock and sleep for about 50 mins then go back to work. Was the only way I had any hope of staying awake in the afternoon, and even then it was a trial. Had many a nudge from colleagues and shocks from the phone ringing next to my ear on the desk!
Would sleep more when I got home after work too. Friends stopped ringing then in the end cos they were always waking me up.
Funny how you manage to forget all those bits isn't it?

in response to OP, the first trimester is totally knackering ... and I had to claim it was a 'virus' as didn't want to tell friends & workmates til much later!!

it's a tiredness like nothing you have ever felt before, and bog all you can do when it hits except for sleep at the earliest convenient moment. Your body is working so hard on the little bean, and being invaded by a heap of hormones, that there's no energy left for much else.

The first 3 months are a huge shock in terms of tiredness. Remember your body is doing the most amazing thing and it has a lot to do.

I'm just the same, in fact even worse this time round, (pregnant with#3), I am also suffering with MS all day. You're not on your own.

Horrendous, but normal. Isn't pregnancy fun?! Take care and congratulations.

Morning Paper I'm a nurse and work in a and e so really could not manage work at the moment - the thought of a bedpan or assisting someone as they vomit is enough to keep me heaving over the toilet all day long!

Superwitch ... I'm also 9 weeks and feeling exactly like you do. Also signed-off work, the house is a complete tip and I don't even notice, children are lucky to get fed (thank heavens for DH), could sleep 24/7 and feel absolutely rotten. Sympathies!

millie how old are your children - my son is 2 and behaving like a orangatang jumping all over me!

They're 6 and almost 4. They're being good but obviously have no idea what's going on or why I spend my days lying on the couch and falling asleep. My eldest was two when the little one was born and he was always on top of me, adding to the feeling of sickness. Hope you feel better soon.

I had to tell my boys_7 and 5) a week ago - when I was 7 weeks as I was so bad and they were getting very worried about me.

Hi

Congratulations.

Its very normal.

I am 10 weeks this wednesday and feel like just pulling quilt over my head for the whole day. But my 2.5 year old wont let me.

It will pass, with my first ds it was about 14 weeks when it cleared.
