exhausted --- all the time

i just wanted to confirm im not alone in this....


everyday im completely exhausted....to the point that i could very easily fall asleep at my desk and if i dont get 3-4 hour naps on the weekend i feel like im going to pass out

does anybody else feel this way...im taking my vitamins so i dont understand why im purely exhausted...i understand being tired but exhaustion is not easy to deal with

any suggestions to help deal with this? should i be concerned about this?

I am right there with you. I have been nothing but EXHAUSTED!! Today was the first day that i acutally got a burst of energy to clean my house and now im pooped. Im ready for a nap. Most days i take naps. And they are when i sleep the best. I wake up with droll all over my face and pillow...lol. Its just your bosy is working extra extra harder then it was before. Once you gve birth i would say after the first year you wont be so exhausted...lol

Uh yeah...we've all been there!  I remember during my early pregnancy, I would work all day exhausted, come home around 3:30, make dinner and be in bed by 5 and I would sleep until 7:00 a.m.!  And I was still tired when I woke up!  However, when I hit like 13 w, one day I woke up and I was a bundle of energy!  Once I hit my 20th week however, it did come back for me...I meant to ask at my last appointment to get my iron checked but i forgot to ask...I have another appointment on the 23rd so I'll ask then...

Might want to have your iron levels checked! Being low can make you feel awful!

I feel that way to. For some reason I can't sleep at night and I wake up a bunch of times. It makes it even worse. I don't know what we can do about it though, cuz coffee isn't an option anymore : )
