ok, so I'm 8 weeks pregnant and I just don't remember being this tired and lifeless last time.
Today I woke up and gave my girl breakfast, did half a chore and then fell asleep on the couch for about 2 hours. I woke up gave Joy lunch and put her into quiet time then have slept from 3ish to 6pm.....Is anyone else experiencing this? Should I go see the doctor? I feel like all I am doing is sleeping. ------------- Mum to: Joy Emily 1.05am 27/09/07 7lb 3oz Austin Paul 12.47pm 18/04/10 10lb 8oz |

you could have your iron levels checked just to be sure but honestly I'm feeling much the same...I'm having days where I'd be happy to stay in bed all day! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

congratulations. yip I have been so much more tired this pregnancy. Ella has had to get used to playing a bit more by herself while I lie on the couch with my eyes closed and thank goodness she still sleeps for 2 hrs after lunch as I so need that time to sleep. ------------- Mum to Ella (5) and Tom (2) |

I've been tired the whole way through lol! Can't unfortunately compare it to any other baby, but my previous pregnancy I was pretty tired through to the 10 week mark when I lost bubba. Congrats on your pregnancy though! -------------

I was a dead girl walking. I had never ever been as tired as in the first trimester. It was close as I have ever been to tortured, I had to concentrate at work not to fall asleep and to move my computer mouse to prevent the screensaver from coming on. I am little over 14 weeks now and happy to note that most of it has lifted. I still need more sleep at night but I can make it through the day now without feeling like dying. I was mostly spared the ms but what I was spared in that was made up for by the tiredness.. I guess what I am saying is hang in there, it will get better...eventually

I've decided yup on both counts!!! Hubby left for work just before 7.00am and thankfully put on a movie for Miss M 'cos I emerged from the bedroom at 8.40am!!!  Thank goodness she didn't destroy the house while I was out cold!------------- http://lilypie.com">

I am glad to hear about all the tired people.
I am ok in the morning till bout 10am then I just die after that. I am getting so tired my legs hurt and I feel like just dropping to the ground and going to sleep. I feel so useless, I just cant function. I lay down and rest for 20 mins and start to feel better then get up and it zaps me. I feel so tired I think something must be really wrong with me. I have taken the day off work and will hopefully sleep all weekend. -------------

I was way more tired this time round than with Caden, I think its just because this time I had Caden to run around after at the same time, and the fact that he was only 5 1/2 months old when I got pregnant lol
I also had terribly low iron, so would pay to have that checked. I ended up in hospital at 36 weeks having an iron infusion done, was not nice ------------- |

Yup I get the hardcore tiredness too. I think that is one of the tell tale signs that you just might be pregnant, before it is actually confirmed.
I was so, so exhausted the first trimester. I still get pretty tired now. Need my nana naps still, at around 1pm, but have to keep an eye on the time so I don't forget to pick my daughter up from school. It sucks though when I am visiting people and at about 6pm I want to fall asleep on there couch. And then I still have to drive home damn it! And man, I will not even try and study anymore. All I can handle is 30 mins and that is hard work and then I'll have to snooze for 2 hours. -------------
