Hey I am 15 weeks today and I didn't have any fatigue at all in my first trimester but since I have been moving so much at night now (soooo hard to get comfy in one spot) that I get up tired and can't seem to get any energy up. I would say try to take a nap whenever you can =)

thank you everybody...i thought i was alone in this one

i had about 2 weeks where i felt great...woke up with so much energy...was able to get homework done on time...but now...im just so tired...my nights sleep is messed up...im trying to stay on my side but i toss and turn...plus im still getting up at least once a night to go to the bathroom...that might have something to do with it

one more week of classes and then im on vacation...hopefully ill have more energy to go sit by the beach by then :)

Hi

I am 18w1d and LosingMyMindInGA has it spot on.  I had maybe a week where I felt a little more awake and now am very tired because of my lousy nights.

I could totally use a nap.  I've passed the constantly tired stage but at 19 weeks (tomorrow) I'm in the "wake up every time i need to change positions at night" stage..makes for a really lousy nights sleep.

Yes I am 7 weeks and feeling very tired during the afternoon but I also have a nearly 6 year old son and an 11 month old daughter to tend to so that is also why I am feeling more tired. Luckily my daughter has a nap schedule so I can get a cat nap in but most times I wake up feeling worse and starving lol.. These 9 months should be fun huh..

I am 14 weeks tomorrow and I've gone a good 3 weeks with my energy back but just this last week I've been exhausted again. I've been trying to exercise more.
