Exhaustion

Anyone else not have it until about 8-9 weeks. I'm 9 weeks today and several times this week I could barely keep my eyes open in the afternoons at work.

I know I've read there's a lot going on from 8-10 weeks, so I'm hoping that's why I'm so tired.

yup - early pregnancy and late pregnancy tends to be the times when you're totally knackered.

Congrats

Get your iron levels checked will prob be on low side.

congrats! some tiredness is perfectly normal with pregnancy however...

try spatone it's a natural liquid iron - comes in sachets from boots add to orange juice, made specifically for pregnant women, i didn't start taking it until 20+ weeks (iron levels 10.6 so not bad but slightly low) along with my daily pregnacare and worked a treat got my energy levels up and doesn't constipate in fact kept me regular!

Lastbox i am feeling the same. want to sleep all the time. I have been taking spatone for ages but it is not helping me in pregnancy, also you have to take it first thing in the morning and keep the stomuch empty for an houre which is hard with morning sickness.

I feel the same too! I am 27 weeks pregnant and today I'm so exhausted I can hardly function.
