Yup! I was very active prior and now I can't even walk from the couch to the bathroom without feeling like I need to take a rest half way there! From what I hear every pregnancy is different so I wouldn't compare one pregnancy to the next. I have thankfully not been TOO nauseous, so now i'm already worried for #2 (should we be blessed) that I will be talking to the toilet so to speak. It will get better, at least that's what i'm going with! Good luck

yup! i had a horrible 1st trimester. for a good 2 weeks, i didn't leave the house at all. just laid on the couch, watched tv, and had dates with the toilet.

I felt the same way in the first trimester. I seriously had to take a nap after doing minor chores around the house, where before I used to be able to power clean the entire house, and still not be tired. I'd take at least one nap a day, after practically doing nothing, and then still felt like I couldn't stay up past 9:00. It got to be pretty discouraging, but it did start to improve for me aroud week 13-14. I still feel like I tire quicker, but it's definitely better than the first trimester.

@HeatherlovesKenny: never hurts to contact doctor if u feel like something is not right. that's what they're there for. to tell u what's okay and what's not.

I was so friggin tired during my 1st trimester. I don't know how you would take care of toddler feeling that way. I got home from work, ate some food, and then went straight to bed every night for the 1st trimester.

I was miserable during my 1st trimester. It makes me really nervous about eventually having a 2nd baby b/c I can't imagine watching a toddler while dealing with the 1st trimester exhaustion and nausea.
If this pregnancy is so different from your 1st one, maybe you're having a girl this time around...

I'm feeling the exact same way. My first was so easy, I had energy and barely any morning sickness. This time, I'm sick and EXHAUSTED. I'm ready to fall asleep at any given moment.

@HeatherlovesKenny: yeah @ sprinting to the bathroom. let's just say i threw up in my hands and mouth more than a few times. luckily, i still made it to the toilet, but my hands were nasty. i think if you're throwing up that much every day, you need to talk to the doctor because that's really a lot of loss of fliud and food.

I'm so ready for my first trimester to be over! Luckily I haven't had any morning sickness but the exhaustion is another story. It's very reminiscent of when I had mono and I feel like such a lazy slug but I don't even have the energy to care!
I feel like it's a success to shower every other day now and it isn't uncommon for me to take 2 naps a day on the weekends.
