First trimester exhaustion

[Amah1976]

I'm 9 weeks today and have to get up 2-3 times a night...either to pee or because I'm super thirsty.

Thankfully I still sleep like a champ but I do get super thirsty out of nowhere at least a few times a week.

Week 10 and still feeling awful! I slept for 16 hours on Sunday, went to bed immediately after work last night, and I'm dragging today. Not to mention the constant nausea...and the 5 pounds I've gained (how the heck did that happen).

Ugh. Almost out of the 1st trimester.

Hi Amah and ky9! I am due 7/16. Now this is my 3rd, but as far as being totally exhausted....it comes and goes for me! In the beginning though...it was ridiculous. I work in a call center and fell asleep at the phones...numerous times! Crazy! Luckily the phone beeping in my ear always woke me up. lol! I am about 9/10 weeks. Still haven't figured out definitely...but about there. How my doctor came up with a due date and I don't even know WHEN I concieved...no clue, but hey...7/16 is it at this point. I stay hungry, eat all day, have not had full blown morning sickness...just nauseous all the time...but I lost about 5 lbs. With my first i was a ball of energy (like 7-8 hours of sleep everyday in the first and second trimester and no loss of energy without pnv for the first 2 months). With my second, I had bad morning sickness, but was fine the rest of the time. I stayed asleep half the time and just remember locking me and my son in the room with toys and tv and me knocking out! This one, I unfortunately have to work! (Grrrr) And boy do I feel crazy half the time. I have more body aches with this one! Anyhow...enjoy the second trimester! Its usually the BEST! BTW, have you all had to buy new clothes yet!? I have cuz my pants are all too tight on my stomach! I'm not buying maternity this soon though...so 2 sizes too big will work! LOL!

Hi Amah and ky9! I am due 7/16. !

Hi! That's so exciting. The three of us will all be delivering so close in dates.

I'm so jealous that you've lost weight! OMG. I feel like a house.

I haven't bought new pants yet, but will have to soon. I think the 5 pounds I gained is actually in my boobs.

In fact, I hadn't told my friends until they kept going, "Your boobs look HUGE" every time I saw them. LOL. I went from a B+/C- to a D. Yikes. So...new bras before new pants.

I did, however, buy a bunch of maternity shirts and dresses really cheap from Old Navy last week...but I think pants I will have to try on.

Songstress and ky9~ How fun that we are all so close and can share pregnancy stories. I am sorry you have gained 5#s ky9, but it makes me feel good b/c i gained 6 as of my appointment on Monday. i asked the doc if this is a problem and she said not for me b/c i was in the lower scale for my size but she said I will likely gain 30 overall. Eeek! So, my bras are much too small and i had a strap on a strappy tank top break last week... luckily I had a sweater over it. I was a 36B/C and I think I should be a 38D now. or pretty close. I haven't bought any maternity clothes yet b.c most of my clothes tend to be loose. But I have had to unbutton pants due to comfort and I used a hair band today to extend my button so I wouldn't be a baby muffin top. The naseua went away about a week and a half ago, my tiredness is the same as pre-prego so I guess I am ok.

We are planning on telling our families around Christmas b/c they have been asking every time we talk and they know we have been "practicing" since the wedding. I think my belly won't hide it much longer... which is sad b/c I don't want to be a huge house especially so early.

So here I am on week 13 and I am all energetic and NOT sick anymore ! wooohooo.
I'm due 6-26-10

I lost 6 pounds and gained back 2. "Morning" sickness and exhaustion were really difficult....I am stoked to start my second trimester.

[Songstress2]

Oh my gosh! I like so can't wait til I get past the morning sickness! Its killing me! But like I said....thankfully I'm not actually throwing up!

I just wanted to jump in and say that I am also due July 16 with my first and i have been super tired. It was so hard getting ready for Christmas this year, I'm glad it's almost over!
