Exhausted in first trimester

[GeekMom1213]

It's almost 10PM and I have to get up and go to work. 5w6d and just so tired... I didn't really feel this way with my other pregnancies (this is pregnancy #5, hoping for baby #2) so it's hard to get used to. Nausea just kicked in with a vengeance today too after nothing in the last two weeks. Not to mention that with the clocks changing tonight I've got a 10 hour shift on my feet instead of my usual 9... *yawn*
Just venting. I know it'll probably pass around the end of the first trimester but that's pretty far away.

I guess I'm glad to not be the only one. Falling asleep at work won't be a concern... I don't have time for that ;-) yesterday I was ridiculously hungry and was wicked embarrassed when I realized how many carbs I ate, so that probably didn't help me get a good rest last night. Staying hydrated and trying to make the best of it, that's all I can do I guess for the next couple months.

Hang in there! I too was so exhausted. I worried about falling asleep at my job, driving home. I think part of my nausea was because I was so exhausted. I think changing my diet to mainly fruits and veggies helped a little in the first trimester. Im back to a normal healthy diet with some Halloween candy included. Thankfully I'm feeling a lot more energy at 22 weeks now just horrible heartburn. It's funny how feeling the baby kick makes me forget about how unbelievably tired I was.

I'm abt 7 wks and I can barely keep my eyes open! I have no motivation to leave the house and I want to do is lay around in my jammies! So I totally understand

I'm 8wks now and the fatigue is kicking my butt. I don't know if it's because this is my 3rd pregnancy but I never feel like I'm getting enough rest. I worry it's going to get worse the further along I get
