And believe me, I wish I could quit the walking now! I told my clients as of Jan. 1 I'm done! No way am I trudging through another winter. Much less pregnant. (Still, hopefully!)</p> <p>Feel better soon!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tiiiiiired#post-1173897 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 07:32:12 +0000 Mrs.Ham 1173897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel you - I am in the same boat! I'm at just about 6 weeks, and SO TIRED! I'm fighting a cold at the same time, so I'm not sure if that's making it worse. Good for you, though, taking walks! I haven't even cooked dinner in a week, much less gone for a walk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tiiiiiired#post-1172232 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 14:44:51 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1172232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: I had a few sips of Coke yesterday, and it was heaven :) lol I do love me some Coke classic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tiiiiiired#post-1172207 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 14:42:02 +0000 LovelyPlum 1172207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I was 16 weeks yesterday and have yet to feel this "magical 2nd trimester energy" that everyone keeps talking about... ;)</p> <p>Honestly, when I'm dragging, I drink a Coke. If I need it to function, you gotta do what you gotta do. Hang in there!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tiiiiiired#post-1172115 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 14:25:19 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1172115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kentuckygirl: Not bad. And trying not to dwell on that either! lol Damned if you do, damned if you don't. </p> <p>@spaniellove: oooh, I'll pick some up when I get to NJ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tiiiiiired#post-1171793 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 13:15:23 +0000 spaniellove 1171793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This might sound bizarre but the clementines I've been eating wake me up just enough to keep me from falling back asleep! I think it's the citrus that perks me up - or annoys me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tiiiiiired#post-1171680 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 12:52:17 +0000 Chastenet 1171680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hear you, I'm totally in the same boat. Unfortunately I don't think there are any remedies...besides getting to the 2nd tri! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tiiiiiired#post-1171674 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 12:50:56 +0000 kentuckygirl 1171674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: Pretty good! I do have pretty frequent nausea but it hasn't been severe enough for me to get sick, so I am trying not to complain about it!</p> <p>How are you feeling otherwise? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tiiiiiired#post-1171527 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 12:14:59 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1171527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Let's just say I'm really looking forward to vacation!</p> <p>@kentuckygirl: how are you feeling otherwise? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tiiiiiired#post-1171480 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 11:59:50 +0000 kentuckygirl 1171480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so tired too!!! Just finished lunch hoping it would give me energy, but no luck! I don't know how I am going to survive the rest of my work day, ugh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tiiiiiired#post-1171469 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 11:56:51 +0000 artsyfartsy 1171469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>During the first tri the only thing that helped me was 4 hour long naps after work everyday. But that's not of much help when you're busy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tiiiiiired#post-1171372 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 11:31:22 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1171372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBruins: I can't imagine having a job where I'd have to face people and be presentable! I reeeaally don't know how the ladies who are teachers do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tiiiiiired#post-1171355 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 11:27:54 +0000 BabyBruins 1171355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: Oh lady I'm with you. So tired. My eyeballs hurt from having to stay open. At the end of my workout yesterday, we did a short meditation at the end (like a minute) and closed our eyes and I almost fell asleep. Sitting up.<br /> If I remember from last time, it was worst from about 6-9 weeks, not terrible from 9-13ish and I felt like I could take on the world in the second tri.<br /> Just take advantage that you can nap when you want. I am loving my work at home days because I just lay down for 10 minutes every hour or two, but my days in the office are so very, very long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tiiiiiired#post-1171307 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 11:17:15 +0000 illumina 1171307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Given you walk a lot for work, I'd guess you probably need that sofa down time! I can't remember when it started getting like this, but after about 2hrs on my feet I'd be falling asleep on them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tiiiiiired#post-1171294 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 11:14:59 +0000 .twist. 1171294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol! The only remedy I used was.... Laying on the couch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tiiiiiired#post-1171199 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 10:59:22 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1171199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I'll keep an eye out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tiiiiiired#post-1171180 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 10:56:34 +0000 looch 1171180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: it's little croissants, stuffed with chopped up ham. They're really good and all Swiss people LOVE them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tiiiiiired#post-1171171 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 10:55:38 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1171171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: what is that? I'm definitely thinking of just getting a bunch of frozen pizzas, and I don't even care! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tiiiiiired#post-1171147 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 10:49:34 +0000 looch 1171147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Get the frozen schinkengipfeli! The ones at Coop are actually really decent.</p> <p>Sorry you're so tired, I was the same! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tiiiiiired#post-1171131 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 10:45:50 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1171131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks girls. I do walk a lot, that's what I do for work! lol :)</p> <p>I will try drinking more water, I'm notoriously bad at getting enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tiiiiiired#post-1171130 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 10:45:17 +0000 petunia354 1171130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like your body is telling you exactly what it needs right now. So if it says rest, rest! I remember feeling like that throughout the first tri and wishing that we had a nap room at work :)</p> <p>Hang in there. Try to eat good, whole foods, drink lots of water and maybe go for some walks (sounds like you are already doing that through!). I wish I knew of a magic food or trick to take away the fatigue! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tiiiiiired#post-1171126 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 10:44:30 +0000 avivoca 1171126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots of water and going for a walk helped me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tiiiiiired#post-1171125 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 10:44:21 +0000 stp 1171125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry you are feeling that way, sucks I know! The only thing that helped me was napping (not an option for everyone I know) and sometimes drinking a really cold glass of ginger ale or juice. Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tiiiiiired#post-1171104 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 10:40:10 +0000 Mrs. J 1171104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Get rest, drink water, and try to exercise a little (which seems totally counterintuitive!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tiiiiiired#post-1171099 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 10:39:03 +0000 mediagirl 1171099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, so sorry! All I can say is rest when you can (helpful, I know) and drink lots of water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-tiiiiiired#post-1171081 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 10:35:27 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1171081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't get off the couch. Help. </p> <p>So I'm 6+2. About the only symptom I'm having is fatigue. Made worse by the fact that I can't get to sleep at night because my mind is going crazy with worry about the pregnancy, all the stuff I have to do before our Halloween party on Sat. and all the stuff I need to do before I leave for NJ on Tuesday! Plus a Girl Scout "hike" on Sunday. Gah! (Can I just fast forward to Tuesday?) </p> <p>To make matters worse, deli platters and the like do not exist here, that I know of. I've never even seen a bag of baby carrots here. I have to cut up every. single. gosh-darned. carrot stick. It all just feels so overwhelming!</p> <p>When I come home from dog-walking, (and errands if I'm feeling extra adventurous) I say to my self, "Ok I'll just rest here for a half hour or so....." Then 2 hours later I'm still sitting/laying here. </p> <p>So the main point of this whiny post was to ask, do you have any remedies to this fatigue? Any magic food I can eat that will put some pep in my step, and get my ass off the couch?! </p>
