Every single time. It's a chore to get ready just to get everyday things done. :/ I'm still waiting for it to get better and I'm 22 weeks.

I'll be 2wks on sat and still feel that way. Taking a shower, trying to shave, getting dressed, it feels like a chore!  I'm exhausted after every single one and feel like I just ran a marathon. Unless my husband is home to  help me I don't even bother wearing socks or shoes anymore, slippers every day, and I live in Ma where it's single digit temps. Hopefully you will feel better in a few wks when you're nearing the end of your first trimester, and it won't start again until about 22 wks or so. I did get a small break where I felt great for most of my 2nd trimester

Yes I had the same problems, found myself sitting down inside the shower, struggling with all i had to finish up & make it out..sometimes still in a wet towel I would nod off whilst sitting on the bed, to exhausted to change & dry hair, a cold horrible nap would consume me. Its my 5th pregnancy & dont remember it ever being as bad as this time. Showers especially so hard. The lethargic torture has eased now im 22 weeks has been easier for a few weeks now but I feel it creeping back, I don't think my short break will last. Im so glad u posted this question as I know now im not alone. I hope it lets up for u soon & u start to fuction with ease again.

I'm 31 week's today and it's been until now that I feel terribly exhausted after I shower and eat. It's like a combination of you must take a nap after showering and eating for me mommy thing. But it's conpletely normal.
