No advice but I can relate.

When I was pregnant with Chloe I was downright exhausted and went to bed every night by 7pm.

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.

The second time was so much worse. It felt like I had mono until 20 weeks.

I was tired and grumpy for my first trimester!

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).

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!

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!

@Bluebonnet: agreed! I feel just as tired as the first time but I don't have time to be tired, if that makes sense.

Yes, I've definitely been more tired with this pregnancy!

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!

@locavore_mama: Oh noes! I hope we didn't jinx her sleep! Hopefully that was just a fluke!
