feeling low

Anyone else feeling low? I'm 11 wks and really don't want to get out of bed some days. I'm fed up my partner's just carrying on his life as normal whilst I feel like mines put on hold. He's let rip today after coming home from the pub telling me he's sick of seeing me in bed all the time besides feeling exhausted all the time the past few months I really don't feel I have anything to get up for.

Do, as babyboy suggested, show him in a book or online that fatigue is an early to mid pregnancy symptom.  But also, get your iron checked, you could be anemic and that makes anyone fatigued.  And find something to get up for, even if it is just going to the library or walking in the park.

Haha! *sarcastic* the first three months of pregnancy are when you feel so exhausted it takes all your energy to move!! He needs to do some research or you need to show him. I am extremely active... 38 weeks +3 days. And I still have my days where I can't get up.

You need to read up on fatugue the first few months, and why you are so sleepy, and show him!! Your hormones just sky rocketed basically over night..

It's not just you. Growing a life inside you is hard work. Men don't understand because they don't and can't go through what we go through. I would have him read up on pregnancy symptoms so he can understand better why you are as tired as you are. Your second trimester is right around the corner, your energy will be coming back to you soon.
