Exhaustion with young child

Hi everyone I am not even 6 weeks yet (6 weeks on Sunday) but the tiredness has been intense already! Don't remember this with my first also quite nauseous managing to eat but alot of stuff and particularly my own fridge/kitchen smell is knocking me sick. How do people manage the tiredness with a young child? I work 3 long days a week and had to take the final day last week off as was so exhausted! I should be able to manage work with some working from home but wow I have had a nap today and feel I will be asleep at half 7 again when DD goes to bed! Xx

I don't really know how people manage, but I was considering posting the same thing!

This is my 4th pregnancy so I feel like I should know how to manage by now but this one feels worse than others, my dp says I was tired before though so maybe I have just forgotten how bad it was...

Hopefully someone has some answers

During my first pregnancy i was really fit and sporty and barely gained any weight, during my second pregnancy carrying DC1 (about 1.5-2years during second pregnancy) up the stairs felt like a marathon and i could‘ve slept all day. It did not get better until the birth unfortuneately..
seek help from DH, family or friends?

I'm 8 weeks, pregnant with third and feel like a zombie. I'm really struggling a lot and I work full time, not sure how I'm functioning lol.

I feel you ! I'm 7 weeks pregnant with a 2 year old and omg the tiredness is NEXT LEVEL. And I feel sick and can just about manage toast. I work 2 shifts a week but had to call in sick this week because I just needed to rest. I slept 4 hours one of the days.
Doesn't help I'm getting awful diarrhoea every day too so that's taking it out of me.
Sending strength! It's not easy. X

I'm 13 weeks with a 2yr old at home, was hoping my energy would return as I got close to 2nd trimester but no sign of it yet!
