How tired are you?

[gratefulgirl]

Only 5 weeks, so I expect it will only get worse...

[alygohome]

I don't remember a time when I wasn't tired. I would say so far I am only slightly more tired than I have been in the past year.

[strawberrytree]

I could nap everyday, but I have been tired for so long it's pretty much just my normal state.

[bocaburger]

I pretty much spent the whole day laying on the couch. I'm not sure how much I actually slept but I certainly wasn't teeming with energy. Yesterday I fell asleep on the train. The day before that I took 2 naps.

I'm only 4w5d and I'm really surprised how wiped out I feel already!

[venyia]

I can at least typically nap when my 19mo DD does. She's had a nice run of 3hr naps lately. I was at the point of not needing naps, myself, then pregsomnia reared its ugly head and I am draggin' in the daytime!

[remylove1011]

So tired! 9:00 is my new bedtime and I'm exhausted right now because we went out to trivia with my family. I'm 5w4d and I'm expecting it will get worse!

[ameliabird]

I am ok during the day. I occasionally take a nap when DD does but not everyday. BUT I could go to bed at 8pm every night now. 4w2d here and I know it will get worse.

[esquette]

Right now, I'm mostly impressed by how fast I go from fine to exhausted. I'm tired at work, and mostly that means my patience runs short. But I don't feel like I have mono, so that's good.

[dc2london]

I am barely functioning. I seriously wonder how I taught full time during my first pregnancy bc even tidying the kitchen feels like a struggle right now

[thepax89]

Not insanely tired. That being said, I nap when dd naps and haven't done shit since my bfp. My house is a war zone of laundry and grossness. (6.5 weeks)

[redthestral13]

So. Tired.

[elm1214]

I'm so exhausted. I pretty much lay on the couch at every opportunity. I feel like a really crappy mom because my kids are watching way too much TV and not doing anything fun. I feel like I'm just trying to survive 1st tri.

[pttomato]

I am exhausted, but I think it's also due to my cold and seeming inability to sleep past 5 am.

Same here! I didn't teach but I bounced around on days/nights and 12 hour shifts, even picking up overtime when I was pregnant with dd. right now it's a struggle to just be upright on my days off, and work is really rough.

I feel this way too. I keep telling myself 2nd tri was so much better last time, it's just a few weeks away.

[twinkie0612]

I went to bed at 6:30 yesterday and only got up to take medicine. I woke up twice to pee and got up at 5:30.

[spicysalmonroll]

I checked off the "dragging a little". I've been sleeping 9 hours a night but my baseline before BFP was always 8-8.5 hours.....can you tell it's my first hahah

Omg night shifts sound like hell

I refuse to feel guilty about just keeping the kids safe, clean and fed right now. This is temporary and they will be fine, right?
Plus DS1 watched so much Super Why last time he basically taught himself to read at 2.5 :-p

[shamrockshimmy]

Luckily I only do one every few weeks this time around. But I always arrange childcare so I can sleep all day afterward. I know so many who stay up all day and function like real people. I have no idea how they do it. Even not pregnant I need my sleep!

[steph]

I wish I could nap I may get one in over the weekend. I work from home and I can hear my bed calling me all day!

Nice! Dd is starting to like Super Why, it came on after Little Einsteins the other day and now she's alternating which one she asks for. Maybe by August she'll be able to read and name artists and composers lol

But in all reality, you're right. They're clean, fed, and happy so I don't believe a little extra screen time right now is going to hurt.

Idk if I could have that much willpower if I worked from home....

I work from home too, and it's sooo hard to resist my cozy bed. I love working from home, but that makes it tough!

[lennonkdc]

I'm dragging a little, but still functioning. Mostly I miss coffee. I've switched to green tea so I'm not on total caffeine W/D but its not the same...

[remylove1011]

Ive been doing my decaf coffee and hoping it'll have a placebo effect

[agpjt413]

I feel like some days I'm more tired than others. And on days that I'm really tired, I could literally fall asleep standing. My house is also a disaster area - ever since my BFP, I have NOT been in the mood to decorate for Christmas (and we typically go all out every year). We have probably 2/3 of stuff out. Thinking about it is making me tired! *yawn, stretch*

[musicgirl]

I was exhausted for a couple of weeks, but now the extreme fatigue seems to have been replaced by bloating and nausea. Yay?

[hrushka]

I'm not super sleepy, more just lazy and lethargic feeling.

[shehulk723]

I'm a total zombie but can't sleep AT ALL at night
