Exhausted

[redandwhite1]

I don't remember feeling like this when I was pregnant with my son (now 7) but I have absolutely no energy, drive or motivation

Is it normal?! I'm about 13 weeks

I just want to lie down and do absolutely nothing!!!!

Yep I felt like a bag of shit.

15 weeks is when I felt better and back to my usual self!

Yep! This has been my main symptom and I’m currently 17 weeks and still struggling badly. Fingers crossed it eases for you soon x

Urgh you're all weeks ahead of me 😩😩

Yep exactly how I felt! It’s eased off mostly now (16+1) but still need a nap most afternoons - and that’s need not want!

Things that’ve helped:

Employing a cleaner (she’s never leaving now!)
Getting mother and MIL to help with some laundry/ironing
Revised hours/duties from work
When I did have bursts of energy - prioritising looking after myself rather than doing what others wanted.

I feel exactly the same. I'm 12 weeks.

Between the pregnancy, work and my 14 month old son, I'm done in. Actually feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment. I have zero energy or drive, I'm shattered and I feel nauseous and breathless most of the time 😫 can't wait to start feeling a bit better. I feel guilty that I'm not doing enough with my DS but I just don't have it in me at the moment (haven't for weeks).

14 weeks now and still having days where I'm completely done in, dreading going back to the office
