[codiontour]

[coccyx]

Yes, I'm afraid so!

 

[horrorheart13]

Yep, that's how I first figured I was pregnant - I was sleeping waaay more than normal

 

[codiontour]

thanks....

wow, we will see how work goes this week then! maybe i'll nap on my lunch lol

 

[Vickie]

Yep unfortunately it's very normal. I got almost nothing done during my first trimester lol

 

[leeanne]

The tiredness is a bummer, but so normal! By the time the second trimester comes around, you will feel better.

 

[Samantha675]

Oh yes!

 

[Tegans Mama]

In one word... Yes

 

[Boo]

Im finding im absolutley shattered but not managing to get any sleep at all!

On Thursday last week i was planning to shove a chair up against the door and sleep under my desk!

only 6 wks gone yet feeling the same. After work I just cant physically get up off the sofa. And to make matters worse I have to visit the ladies about 4 times a night!

 

[codiontour]

yes, im up all night in the bathroom too... i am still managing to get my lazy bum to the gym but i believe that just cancels out the rest of the days sedentary time lol

 

[doctordeesmrs]

I was like that in the early weeks but now i'm so tired and just can't seem to sleep properly at the minute.

 

[Always&4ever]

I had to have 2 hours in the day plus around 8hours at night just to function

I'm exhausted all the time. It was my daughters 2nd birthday today and I fell asleep on the sofa and she pulled my hair to wake me up. I told her to stop it and she cried, I felt so awful. I'm really grumpy when I'm tired

 

[psycholisa]

I keep falling asleep in front of the tv which confuses me cos I go to sleep watching one thing and wake up watching something different, lol.

 

[codiontour]

well, tonight i cant sleep because i am itching all over!

 

[tb42]

Absolutely normal, sleeping 2-3 hours a day become my routine now Well, i'm off now to bed ( just finished my lunch )

 

[Gabi]

Yep! The joys of pregnancy. Fun aren't they?

I'm sitting here at work struggling to keep my eyes open. Luckily my boss isn't strict so I can sit here blasting my ears away with my headphones.... seems to help. If not I'll just go pass out in the car.

Itching. I noticed my skin has become a bit dry as well. I'm using tissue oil. That seems to help a bit.

ahh the joys of pregnancy! iv just found out im pregnant im 4+1wks and im knackered, i think it gets worse the older you are aswell, i was 32 wen i had my 2yr old and it was alot more knackering than wen i had my 9 yr old at the age of 24, now im 34 and feel even even more tired. i seem to av developed a severe case of narcolepsy.
