My parents have been in town, so I've been getting daily naps, which are amazing! Back at work and wondering how I'll make it through again without a nap. Ha! Also, it's been torture not telling them why I'm SO SO tired. My cold has been a good coverup for that. Still only about 7w, so it's too early to share, IMO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-so-tired#post-2387927 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 14:29:56 +0000 BSB 2387927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was so tired and tried to stay away from caffeine. Instead of coffee, I would have a soda. Also, I walked around the office a lot. Sitting at my desk was just impossible to stay awake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-so-tired#post-2387915 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 14:22:28 +0000 struggleisreal 2387915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shantuck: Hugs. I just saw your other post, and I hope that things turn out well for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-so-tired#post-2383951 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 10:10:57 +0000 Shantuck 2383951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The extreme fatigue is just hitting me at 7 weeks. I can sleep for 8-9 hours and feel like I've been up for days. This is brutal. I think with my son, this went away around 10 weeks. Really hoping I can hang in there for another 3 weeks.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-so-tired#post-2380899 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 18:31:08 +0000 struggleisreal 2380899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBeluga: Congratulations! OMG me too! I woke up on the wrong side of the bed yesterday and was in such a foul mood! Hang in there, too! I hope I get to join a board. Not sure if I'd be July or Aug. b/c right between. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-so-tired#post-2380897 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 18:29:19 +0000 MrsBeluga 2380897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@struggleisreal: 6 weeks here too, if it makes you feel any better, instead of being tired, im a total and complete witch! Haha. I cant even stand my self lately :(. Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-so-tired#post-2380861 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 17:57:46 +0000 struggleisreal 2380861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: Oh, yeah, that time may be worse. I remember just not sleeping well from about then on. Sorry! Ended up in the la-z-boy all night. Also not good. Hugs.</p> <p>@Ash: Ugh. Totally imagine that's exhausting. I wonder how I will ever manage a newborn and 4 yo.</p> <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I think some of the current exhaustion is due to a big sandwich at lunch and a sugar crash from root beer that I never usually drink. I'll try loading up on water and will take a walk around the block later. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-so-tired#post-2380850 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 17:51:38 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2380850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was really tired too in my first tri. I am a little less tired in my second, but still tired. For months I could not sleep through the night which added to my daytime exhaustion.</p> <p>I go through spurts of drinking/ not drinking coffee. I also drink herbal tea with honey. Just making the tea is an energy booster. What helped me stay awake and alert is getting up and moving around. I also found eating small meals helped with energy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-so-tired#post-2380839 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 17:43:57 +0000 Ash 2380839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not pregnant but my 5 month old and 2 year old are exhausting me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-so-tired#post-2380833 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 17:37:39 +0000 travellingbee 2380833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>36 weeks and can barely put one foot in front of the other. I am beyond exhausted.</p> <p>@BabyBoecksMom: Whoa! That must have been really hard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-so-tired#post-2380825 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 17:34:42 +0000 struggleisreal 2380825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AprilFool: *fistbump* This has pretty much been my only symptom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-so-tired#post-2380810 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 17:24:27 +0000 AprilFool 2380810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7 weeks and exhaustion in my maim symptom. I could sleep for days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-so-tired#post-2380808 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 17:22:55 +0000 struggleisreal 2380808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: Oh, I didn't realize! That must be so so tough. I'm wondering if I could get away with a power nap....</p> <p>@JennyLayneAZ: Yeah, I'm considering a walk/water. Just got back from a morning event so can't really take a break yet. I already have a 3 yo. Sleep does get better :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-so-tired#post-2380805 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 17:20:52 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 2380805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@struggleisreal: I'm 20 weeks and I'm still tired all the time. When I start to nod off at my desk, I get up and walk around, and drink some cold water. It works well enough I guess. I'll probably be tired for the next 18 years so I guess I better get used to it LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-so-tired#post-2380800 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 17:16:46 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2380800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a person with narcolepsy, early pregnancy fatigue was really rough on me because I couldn't take my medicine. I survived on sneaking out to my car and taking 15 min power naps when I couldn't make it anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-so-tired#post-2380791 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 17:11:06 +0000 struggleisreal 2380791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm maaaaybe 6w along (scan on Fri.!) and I'm SO SO tired. I'm doing everything in my power not to fall asleep at my desk at work. I've cut caffeine, so that's out. Don't want sugar. No idea what else to do to wake up. I wish I could just go home and nap for a couple hours and then return without anyone seeing. Ha!</p> <p>Nobody knows at work yet. And after 2 losses (I had told some people before I knew the 2nd loss was a loss), I am keeping this one closer until I know more.</p> <p>Anyone else? </p>
