By the end of the pregnancy, DS watched more tv than it should admit, I was exhausted!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-fatigue-second-time-around#post-1404751 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 18:07:30 +0000 cranberryapple 1404751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Oh noes! I hope we didn't jinx her sleep! Hopefully that was just a fluke! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-fatigue-second-time-around#post-1403395 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 12:10:58 +0000 wonderstruck 1403395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure if it is worse or if it just feels like it because I have my son to take care of and can't just crash in bed. But I haven't had any morning sickness so far (although I'm only 4 weeks,) so I'm ecstatic about that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-fatigue-second-time-around#post-1402966 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 10:23:05 +0000 Dandelion 1402966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With S I was SO exhausted all the time. I think it was because she was just so high up. I haven't had that problem with LO until recently (except for the days I get my shot). I actually waited tables when I was pregnant with DS...can't imagine doing that with S or LO this time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-fatigue-second-time-around#post-1402923 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 10:12:15 +0000 blackbird 1402923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to go lay my head down on a desk in a conference room at lunchtime. Sometimes i dozed off for 15-20 min, but it made a world of difference to just put my head down, step away from the computer, and sit in the quiet and dark. And I am NOT a napper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-fatigue-second-time-around#post-1402700 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 08:54:44 +0000 regberadaisy 1402700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cranberryapple: and of course last night she woke up and would not go back to sleep for almost two hours! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-fatigue-second-time-around#post-1402354 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 22:14:45 +0000 regberadaisy 1402354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cranberryapple: thankfully, she's been sttn lately. But even a full night rest didn't seem to help the fatigue. :( can your DH split night waking with you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-fatigue-second-time-around#post-1402175 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 20:59:41 +0000 Mrs. M 1402175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I've definitely been more tired with this pregnancy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-fatigue-second-time-around#post-1402057 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 20:26:55 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1402057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3rd trimester fatigue was/is worse this time around. It's 10x worse because I can't rest like I did with DD1 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-fatigue-second-time-around#post-1402051 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 20:24:29 +0000 Canoli 1402051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bluebonnet: agreed! I feel just as tired as the first time but I don't have time to be tired, if that makes sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-fatigue-second-time-around#post-1401785 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 18:14:33 +0000 cranberryapple 1401785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have to get up to get DD in the middle of the night? I think that's why I'm more tired this time around. DS still wakes up at least once a night, and once he goes back to sleep, I'm like an insomniac for hours! I do SAH so I usually try to catch a nap during his nap time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-fatigue-second-time-around#post-1400927 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 13:27:41 +0000 Mamasig 1400927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember if it's worse this time or not. With a LO to take care of I just had to keep going. I often fell asleep at his bedtime because I couldn't help it. It definitely improved in the 2nd trimester. I'm still tired but I can at least stay up til 10! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-fatigue-second-time-around#post-1400851 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 13:02:29 +0000 HLK208 1400851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: the 3rd has been a little easier but still my energy is pretty low (at 17 weeks). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-fatigue-second-time-around#post-1400842 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 12:59:32 +0000 HabesBabe 1400842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I feel like a zombie most of the time and can barely focus at work. I'm even thinking of starting my maternity leave early so I can veg out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-fatigue-second-time-around#post-1400824 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 12:51:16 +0000 regberadaisy 1400824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: LOL! Believe it or not chocolate/sweets are super unappealing to me right now. The horror! :shocked: </p> <p>@Bluebonnet: my first pregnancy was super easy and I fear I will be paying for that this time around. :(</p> <p>@HLK208: Don't say that! :( I honestly can't tell anymore what's bc of pregnancy or because I'm sick. Or if I'm not sick and the achiness and coughing is due to being pregnant?!<br /> How is the 3rd compared to 2nd? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-fatigue-second-time-around#post-1400818 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 12:48:39 +0000 T-Mom 1400818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The fatigue was pretty bad. It helped me to take a walk, even around my floor. I also consumed massive quantities of candy bars (not recommended). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-fatigue-second-time-around#post-1400788 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 12:41:14 +0000 Bluebonnet 1400788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice, just sympathy. Everything has been harder on me the second time around. I think its because with my first pregnancy I took care of myself and went to bed early and slept in on the weekends. </p> <p>Its impossible to take it easy when you are also chasing after a toddler and working FT. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-fatigue-second-time-around#post-1400750 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 12:26:13 +0000 autumnlove 1400750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was tired and grumpy for my first trimester! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-fatigue-second-time-around#post-1400747 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 12:25:46 +0000 buffalove 1400747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG it's terrible this time around! I don't even really remember much fatigue with the first. Now I'm practically falling asleep while driving home and totally collapse on the couch after I get DS to bed. </p> <p>It's gotten better now that I'm out of the 1st, but it's definitely still there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-fatigue-second-time-around#post-1400725 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 12:19:29 +0000 HLK208 1400725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The second time was so much worse. It felt like I had mono until 20 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-fatigue-second-time-around#post-1400712 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 12:16:54 +0000 regberadaisy 1400712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: I know, it's so crazy!!</p> <p>I am looking forward to the weekend so I can nap with LO! LOL]</p> <p>Thankfully, LO is going thru a pretty independent stage. I don't know what I would do if it was during her clingy stage when she wants to be held ALL the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-fatigue-second-time-around#post-1400519 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 11:32:45 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1400519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice but I can relate. </p> <p>When I was pregnant with Chloe I was downright exhausted and went to bed every night by 7pm. </p> <p>This time around I'm tired but it's a different kind of exhaustion. I WAH so I chase her a lot but also have to meet the demands of my clients. I go to bed at a normal time (10-11 for me) but I'm crankier, yawn a lot and find myself avoiding a lot of activities (like venturing out to the mall) because I'm tired. And makeup? Ain't nobody got time for that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-fatigue-second-time-around#post-1400492 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 11:27:59 +0000 regberadaisy 1400492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Was your fatigue worse the second time around?</p> <p>I am so exhausted this time around . I can barely stay awake at work! Last time it usually hits around end of the work day so I can take a nap when I get home. But this time around it usually hits around mid day. :( DH also works nights 3x a week typically so I can't even catch a snooze when I get home. I even went to bed SUPER early last night; 8pm! And I feel the fatigue hitting already right now. :(</p> <p>Usually I get up and walk around or have a citrus fruit. But that's only temporary. If the weather was nicer I could go take a walk!</p> <p>Any tips to combat the fatigue? </p>
