With number two it went away basically around 10-12 weeks and now with number three I am 17 weeks and still soooo tired! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-exhaustion-end/page/2#post-1642113 Sat, 17 May 2014 19:40:24 +0000 PinkBee 1642113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't start feeling "normal" energy wise until around 20 weeks, but unfortunately that normal feeling only lasted a couple of weeks and I'm toast again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-exhaustion-end/page/2#post-1642044 Sat, 17 May 2014 19:06:59 +0000 magnolia 1642044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still going strong at 11 weeks.

But, happy to be pregnant even if constantly sleepy is the result!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-exhaustion-end/page/2#post-1642017 Sat, 17 May 2014 18:42:44 +0000 night cheese 1642017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't vote because I'm 30 weeks and still exhausted as hell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-exhaustion-end/page/2#post-1636937 Thu, 15 May 2014 14:12:25 +0000 Torchwood 1636937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: Yeah, I'm almost 24 weeks and still want to go pass out. Except I'm having trouble falling asleep all of a sudden, and baby girl loves to kick my already smaller than average bladder, so I get up to pee 5-10 times a night. I do have times when I'm less tired though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-exhaustion-end/page/2#post-1636846 Thu, 15 May 2014 13:51:05 +0000 mfa_lady 1636846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep.

This time around the constant exhaustion is still going strong at 28-weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-exhaustion-end/page/2#post-1635778 Thu, 15 May 2014 10:05:05 +0000 mdf106 1635778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It improved somewhat at 14-15 weeks when the nausea went away, but I was pretty tired throughout pregnancy. I felt really good after birth, even though I was getting less sleep, and I have always needed a lot of sleep. I think there must have been a lot of adrenaline going on. I was sometimes in the middle of the night when LO would not go to sleep, but I was fine during the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-exhaustion-end/page/2#post-1635697 Thu, 15 May 2014 09:47:30 +0000 mfa_lady 1635697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: OMG. You are my hero--"energy for days" sounds like a miracle to me right now! :) Thank you for popping in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-exhaustion-end/page/2#post-1635694 Thu, 15 May 2014 09:46:43 +0000 mfa_lady 1635694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Greentea: @sorrycharlie: Dangit!!!! Haha. Thanks for the honest answers, though--I need to prepare myself! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-exhaustion-end/page/2#post-1635659 Thu, 15 May 2014 09:39:56 +0000 coopsmama 1635659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first pregnancy, I was exhausted until probably 18 weeks but then felt awesome the rest of the pregnancy! I literally was out walking 3 miles in 85 degree weather the day before I gave birth - I had energy for days! </p> <p>This pregnancy, I was tired until 15ish weeks, and now have been tired again starting at about 29 weeks. I'm sure that that has something to do with chasing around an 11 month old though. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-exhaustion-end/page/2#post-1635650 Thu, 15 May 2014 09:37:37 +0000 jhd 1635650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: I agree with @Greentea: LO is 2.5 weeks old and I have hardly slept more than a few hours a night since he was born (granted we are also dealing with a nicu situation which complicates things). I am generally the type of person that requires a solid amount if sleep but there's definitely some super mommy energy that kicks in. Don't worry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-exhaustion-end/page/2#post-1635645 Thu, 15 May 2014 09:36:00 +0000 sorrycharlie 1635645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yeaaah.

But I think when the baby is born some natural adrenaline kicks in... :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-exhaustion-end/page/2#post-1635499 Thu, 15 May 2014 08:55:53 +0000 snowjewelz 1635499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: Half my world already knew by 6-8 weeks, just b/c everyone have been nosy and love to ask me every few weeks! I was annoyed at first, but later on as I got more sick I just didn't care anymore :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-exhaustion-end/page/2#post-1635485 Thu, 15 May 2014 08:53:26 +0000 mfa_lady 1635485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: Such a good point. I've been wondering if my two closest coworkers/supervisors are catching on because of my zombie-ness. They also know about last year's MC, so it wouldn't come out of nowhere if they did guess. I may tell them after my US in two weeks...I feel like it would make them feel better! Haha.</p> <p>@lilyann: Good to know! I have no toddlers to chase yet...so maybe there's still hope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-exhaustion-end/page/2#post-1635475 Thu, 15 May 2014 08:51:41 +0000 lilyann 1635475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first pregnancy, my energy came back around 12 weeks...but with this second pregnancy, energy hasn't returned :sad: Chasing a toddler is exhausting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-exhaustion-end/page/2#post-1635461 Thu, 15 May 2014 08:49:23 +0000 snowjewelz 1635461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: That's why I don't even know how one is supposed to hide pregnancy for 3 months! I've been acting like a zombie pretty much! I had to tell my boss at 8 wks b/c I happened to have my review and my boss thought I was either mad at him or unhappy w/ my job lol. </p> <p>Hang in there, it will get better! I have to say at 10 weeks it's gotten a little better, hopefully it will be gone by 12-14 weeks completely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-exhaustion-end/page/2#post-1635454 Thu, 15 May 2014 08:47:10 +0000 mfa_lady 1635454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsKoala: Don't apologize, lady...that's why I asked. I need to prep myself for this crazy stuff! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-exhaustion-end/page/2#post-1635447 Thu, 15 May 2014 08:46:30 +0000 MrsKoala 1635447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never. Sorry to say it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-exhaustion-end/page/2#post-1635442 Thu, 15 May 2014 08:45:52 +0000 mfa_lady 1635442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: Ahh, yes! So many people here are pointing out the relation between the nausea and level of exhaustion. That makes me feel better! And yes...I am napping a TON. I'm just so tired it doesn't seem to help! Yesterday, I "worked" from home...which I always do once a week....except now it takes me until 8pm to do all my work because I nap ALL DAY. Oops! </p> <p>@snowjewelz: I feel like that, too, at 6.5 weeks! My nausea is worse at night and it's really cramping my style. I'm afraid we're going to have to start canceling plans if it gets much worse. UGH! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-exhaustion-end#post-1635429 Thu, 15 May 2014 08:40:50 +0000 snowjewelz 1635429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: It's sooo depressing lol. I kept telling DH I'm so used to feeling sick &amp; tired that it's the new norm! I don't remember what it feels like to feel normal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-exhaustion-end#post-1635425 Thu, 15 May 2014 08:40:01 +0000 MrsTiz 1635425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: I never really understood why people say that you need to sleep all you can while you are pregnant before the baby comes.. If you have the chance to nap while pregnant, by all means take it! But it's nothing like the first few months with a newborn.</p> <p>To more seriously answer your question, I think around 14/15 weeks I lost the nausea which to me was a game changer. I really did feel awesome in my second trimester, so there is some truth to that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-exhaustion-end#post-1635416 Thu, 15 May 2014 08:38:23 +0000 mfa_lady 1635416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: Haha, good point! Maybe resigning myself to getting used to it is my best bet right about now... :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-exhaustion-end#post-1635412 Thu, 15 May 2014 08:37:55 +0000 mfa_lady 1635412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BakerBee: This is a great point--and also so exciting to think about being more aware of things happening in there! Right now, it's tough for both my husband and I to wrap our minds around how I can feel so absurd when I look the same and can't feel any belly business happening. Thanks for the update! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-exhaustion-end#post-1635407 Thu, 15 May 2014 08:36:56 +0000 snowjewelz 1635407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted 10-12 weeks and I'm just 10 weeks now. It was the worst around 6-8 weeks I think. Or maybe I'm still exhausted but I got used to it?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-exhaustion-end#post-1635406 Thu, 15 May 2014 08:36:53 +0000 mfa_lady 1635406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: This is great news! I'm hoping that miraculous switch with flip for me, too...although, as I've said...I have a long way to go. I was exhausted even before my BFP (one of the reasons I tested early) and I'm only 6w3d. Let the countdown begin! </p>
