I'm 16 weeks now and def dont take naps as often (if ever) anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-tired-before-end-of-1st-trimester#post-177096 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 19:15:57 +0000 MaisyMay 177096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: At work I walk and stand a lot, so lately I'm counting that as my exercise. In an 8 hour shift, I'm standing at least 7 1/2 hours. :-) Between all of the walking and lifting of wedding dresses, I'm beyond exhausted at the end of the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-tired-before-end-of-1st-trimester#post-177095 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 19:13:14 +0000 MaisyMay 177095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@heartsnsunshine: I get up to go to work, and when I get home from work, all that I want to do is sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-tired-before-end-of-1st-trimester#post-176963 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 11:36:28 +0000 heartsnsunshine 176963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm glad to hear that it gets better and there's something to look forward to! @MaisyMay: I'm around 8 weeks and I've never felt so tired and feel the same way you do about going to bed and not wanting to get out of bed. I wish I had a pregnant friend that lives by me and we could force each other to take a daily walk or just get me off my butt!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-tired-before-end-of-1st-trimester#post-176952 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 10:59:57 +0000 His Barista 176952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I does get better! The first trimester was where I was the most tired! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-tired-before-end-of-1st-trimester#post-176948 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 10:52:25 +0000 lemondrop 176948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, it definitely gets better- but that is fantastic you are feeling this way! Don't fight the naps and keep up the good work :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-tired-before-end-of-1st-trimester#post-176937 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 10:17:47 +0000 heffalump 176937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought people were lying when they said you feel better the 2nd trimester because it felt never ending, but it really does get better! Hopefully soon for you :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-tired-before-end-of-1st-trimester#post-176935 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 10:17:25 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 176935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just want to give you a ray of hope. There is absolutely nothing harder than the first trimester... And it's a time when most people don't cut you slack because they don't know you are pregnant... but it was by far the hardest time in pregnancy (for me).</p> <p>And then second tri comes and the heavens open up and sing and all is right with the world! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-tired-before-end-of-1st-trimester#post-176921 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 10:01:02 +0000 sorrycharlie 176921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was exhausted during first trimester. second was infinitely better - still tired, but I could function! I actually thought I was developing insomnia because I was so used to sleeping 6pm-7am, and all of a sudden I was up until 10pm! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-tired-before-end-of-1st-trimester#post-176862 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 08:33:54 +0000 hummusgirl 176862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My exhaustion lifted around 17 weeks and it was like getting a new lease on life! Hang in there...this will soon be a distant memory. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-tired-before-end-of-1st-trimester#post-176851 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 07:51:37 +0000 mamabolt 176851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's when I felt the most tired, from about weeks 9-14. It does get better though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-tired-before-end-of-1st-trimester#post-176808 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 05:47:34 +0000 mediagirl 176808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt that way through 13 weeks, then I got some energy back. The second trimester was, by far, my favorite. A few more weeks and you're there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-tired-before-end-of-1st-trimester#post-176806 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 05:35:23 +0000 Andrea 176806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you doing any exercise? I found that it gave me more energy so I would force myself to do a little something even when I just wanted to throw up! Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-tired-before-end-of-1st-trimester#post-176804 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 05:31:53 +0000 MsLipGloss 176804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww - hang in there! It definitely gets better. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-tired-before-end-of-1st-trimester#post-176799 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 04:43:47 +0000 SugarplumsMom 176799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In a few weeks it'll get better! I was completely exhausted in my 1st trimester as well. I don't think I've been that tired, ever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-tired-before-end-of-1st-trimester#post-176796 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 01:56:58 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 176796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It gets better! I was still tired, but not that run-over-by-a-truck tired. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-tired-before-end-of-1st-trimester#post-176793 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 01:25:48 +0000 Penny Lane 176793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found the same thing. I think it was 16 weeks before I felt more energized... I found that walking every day (even if it was just a short one) helped a little </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-tired-before-end-of-1st-trimester#post-176792 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 01:10:51 +0000 MaisyMay 176792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm currently 9w5d and I am finding that I am more tired now than ever! I had some energy for a few weeks, but the last few days I've come home and stayed on the sofa until dinner time, then rested until bedtime. Once I've gone to bed, I don't want to get up, and getting out of bed in the morning is torture. Ugh. </p> <p>Somebody please tell me that in a few weeks I'll get more energy! </p>
