soo tired I want to cry most days!

[BabyRuby11]

So as most of you probably know the fatigue is a killer! I actually feel like I can't function most days. I haven't told my work I am pregnant yet as I am scared to but I drive 2 hours to and from work so I am practically falling asleep at my desk (and have been caught twice napping ). I am also really worried about the lack of concentration I am able to do whilst driving 70mph on the motorway to work. I feel as though I can't keep my eyes open. I don't want to call in sick but am so frustrated and literally want to cry!

Sorry just needed to get this off my chest to people who actually know what I am going through (obviously the bf doesn't quite understand bless him)

It will get better soon. And first pregnancies are the hardest, because you dont know what to expect. Hang in there.

I have been to the doctor this morning about a cold I got last week and to ask about the ridiculous amount of sleeping I've been doing since then. She suggested trying an iron tonic supplement (which is recommended for expectant and BFing mothers) called Floradix.

After the appointment I went into Boots to pick up my second Bounty pack (a UK thing, not sure if you get them in USA if you're there) and it's got a sample of the stuff in there. I will be giving it a try. Might be worth asking about in your local Pharmacy though, it's supposed to help with extreme tiredness because that tiredness could be caused by a slight iron deficiency in your blood due to the pregnancy...

I know exactly how you feel. Last Monday I fell asleep after dinner at 7.00pm, slept right through until morning and I was so tired and sick I cried when I tried to get up at 7.30am! I took the morning off on leave and went back to sleep until 12.00pm! I went into work at 1.00 and literally yawned all afternoon! I thought if it stays like this I'm nit going to cope!

But this week I have noticed my tiredness starting to get a little bit better, so hopefull it continues!

Thank you I will have to give this a go as it is really getting beyond a joke now! Let me know if it works for you but I think I may go to my pharmacy tonight to ask about it.

Yeah I am in the UK so get the bounty pack but everytime I go to get it they tell me they haven't go any in stock..... so annoying haha!

Thanks for your advice I appreciate it xx
