This is my most prominent pregnancy symptom.. Its so hard to keep up with my 14 month old.. I go to bed at 8:30-9.. Just dead tired! Anyone else?
Yep!!!! I'm one week more than you, but after I had severe cramping and constipation for the first few weeks, the fatigue really just took over. I would wake up at 7am on the dot (my cat and dog is my alarm clock!), feed my 8 animals, eat breakfast, go back to sleep, Hubby wakes me up at 9:45 before he leaves for work, I eat my second breakfast, then promptly go back to sleep. Around 12-1 I get up naturally, then eat lunch and go back to sleep until 2-3pm. Even with all the extra sleep, I still get tired around 9ish at night. This went on for weeks. It was HORRIBLE when I had my cold for two weeks!
Just this past weekend, I feel like I have a bit more spring in my step, and today was the first time in 5 weeks that I didn't take a nap during the day. I was told that by the time you're approaching second trimester, the fatigue pretty much is reduced.
Have you considered giving your 14 mo old to a family member for a few hours while you nap?
I'm in bed at 930 every night! Hubby is out tonight and I reckon I'll be in bed when my toddler goes down between 730-8!
Yesterday he was home and I went to bed at 3, slept most of afternoon and then got up for about two hours when kids were in bed and back to sleep.
I think the fact I've had a cold and have 3 kids 3 and under really isn't helping, and I'm just not eating well so Jo energy from that either.

You have a busy house!! Is MS preventing you from eating well or just because? I cant imagine 3 under 3! I think 2 under two for a little while will be enough for my plate!

Wow!! That was a lot of napping! I live a couple hours away from my family so that doesn't really work.. But he does have 1 nap a day but it tends to be late morning early afternoon and I would love to nap late afternoon. Our napping needs conflict! I cannot wait for the 2nd tri and to get some more energy! I also had a cold for about a week.. Its so terrible!

Yeah, at first I was actually worried that it was too much of laying down, but in reality, it's not all "perfect sleeping". Sometimes I can feel that I'm uncomfortable and I adjust, then I'm uncomfortable, then I adjust, etc. So I rarely get a FULL REM sleep if you get what I mean. I'm also a SAHM-to-be, so I am available. So I can't imagine what it's like to have a toddler in the house as well!
It'll pass. I'm already feeling much better.
