Re: very tired, no exhausted ..zzzzzzzz

Yes...me, me, me. I honestly can say I feel like someone is sitting on top of me. I feel this heavyness decend on me and I just can't stay awake. Im aware of my 10 year old trying to wake me at time, and I just can't get the strength to open my eyes. My doctor said this is perfectly normal and to try to get lots of sleep. It would be great but I still wake about 3 times a night to use the bathroom and it makes me crazy because I barely have the energy to get up. Oh well, the little lima beans are worth it

I feel the same way. I am also about 6 weeks and I have to take naps before and after work. I used to be able to do stuff around the house, but not now. People keep telling me it is the first 3 months that you are REALLY TIRED. They keep saying it will get better...

Re: very tired, no exhausted ..zzzzzzzz

I am the same way. I am 10 wks pregnant and feel so tired all of the time. Believe me, I found myself sleeping on the toilet at work once. I couldn't take how tired I was and could not afford to leave work early so I went to the bathroom, walked into the handicapp stall, layed out a whole bunch of paper towels on the floor and sat down leaned against the wall and took a 30 minute cat nap. I felt so much more tired after I woke up. I can't tell you.

My husband has a hard time with this because I cannot do anything around the house either. I tell him that I am tired but he just thinks that I am being lazy. What can I say "MEN!!!"
