I believe it's totally normal.</p> <p>I'm nearing the very end of the second trimester (aka, the honeymoon trimester), and I've started getting lethargic again. I teach, and am currently on spring break, and I've literally done nothing today. Nothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-lethargic-normal#post-695310 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 19:10:35 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 695310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still feeling it, and I'm almost 12 weeks! Totally normal. Give yourself permission to rest when you need it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-lethargic-normal#post-695306 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 19:08:37 +0000 Grace 695306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! The first trimester wasn't just tired like I hadn't had enough sleep - it was lethargic, like being in a fog. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-lethargic-normal#post-693826 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 09:51:44 +0000 Alivoo01 693826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! I was tired all the time and all I wanted to do was nap so do nap when you can! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-lethargic-normal#post-693800 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 09:41:41 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 693800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't even have a 9-5, I can't imagine what it's like for full-time workers! I am the worst at drinking water, I really need to be better. :(</p> <p>I'm trying to psych myself up to go to the grocery store just to get a few things. It's right across the street practically. </p> <p>Maybe I'm just being lazy, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-lethargic-normal#post-693794 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 09:40:08 +0000 autumnlove 693794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I was tired a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-lethargic-normal#post-693793 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 09:39:56 +0000 lovehoneybee 693793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes. I napped as often as I could. I read something once that suggested that the energy your body uses during the first trimester is comparable to the energy your body uses when you run a marathon--every day. </p> <p>I found that having trying to keep my protein up helped--in my case it was peanut butter sandwiches and almonds. And lots and lots of water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-lethargic-normal#post-693783 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 09:37:13 +0000 Pepper 693783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I napped all the time after work during the first trimester. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-lethargic-normal#post-693774 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 09:35:02 +0000 JessiBee 693774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. Try drinking more water though--that definitely helped me! (So did almost-daily naps during the first tri...) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-lethargic-normal#post-693766 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 09:33:44 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 693766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still very newly pregnant, 4w4days I think. I know being tired is normal. I'm like super tired though, and lethargic. I feel like I'm sleep-walking or going in slow motion for most of the day. Sometimes I'm scared I'm going to get in a car accident because I feel so out of it! </p> <p>Is this normal? </p>
