tired

[lynz]

does anyone find that they are really tired and have literally no energy what so ever i have been like this for the last few days now i dont seem to have any get up and go and i have been getting headaches like i've never had before what is safe to take for headaches cause i have had this one for the last few days and i dont think its shifting without painkillers

 

[Steph]

not sure about painkillers, i know topical things are ok so why not try that 4head stick or migraice packs...they're good

as for no energy, i got up today went to the docs came home and am back in bed, i do the same with work, i manage to scrape through 9 hours then im home and in my jammies

 

[lynz]

same as me i went the doctors this morning and could quite happily go back to bed now i normally go to bed quite late, last nite i was in bed by ten o clock couldnt keep my eyes open any longer

 

[Steph]

exactly, roll on 2nd trimester when you get a bit more energy, im really not enjoying this stage one bit, although i wouldnt change it for the world i do feel rotten

 

[lynz]

well i do 13 1/2 hour shifts at work 3 days a week i phoned in sick sunday cause i felt like shit to be honest and just wanted to spend a day on the sofa in front of the tele watching soap repeats

I used to be in bed for 6.30pm during my 1st tri with Charlie! Just sheer exhaustion.

As for the headaches hun, I suffered loads early on. Someone on another forum suggested it could be due to dehydration. I started drinking loads and loads of water and fruit teas, and my headaches cleared up.

How come no one gets any 'nice' pregnancy symptoms!? I've had the lot... sore boobs, exhaustion, sickness, nasuea etc... I've also noticed that my hair seems to be malting a bit too

 

[Steph]

my hair is like a chip pan,i have to wash it every single day whereas before doing that would dry it out!

That's the only part of pregnancy that I like! My hair's normally sooo thick and horrible, but when I'm pg, I lose loads of it. And what's left is lovely condition! Just horrible when it starts to grow back about 3 months after LO is born! I get a second mini-fringe!!!!

 

[Steph]

its so weird all the things our bodies go through isn't it...so bizarre

 

[tinytoes]

i can certainly relate to the tiredness! mornins i'm ok, after lunch i'm cream crackered, and pretty much a zombie all afternoon. I get so grumpy and irritable too! I snap without any planning, at people I wouldnt usually snap at. oops!

Oh lynz - 13.5 hour shifts...sounds horrific!!

 

[lynz]

tell me about it at least its only 3 days a week tho means i only have to drag myself out of bed 3 days rather than 5

You can take paracetamol and co codamol according to my hospital, but not at the same time I dont think. Paracetamol usually gets rid of my headaches pretty well.

As for being tired, make the most of it! If you need to sleep, then sleep and leave someone else to do the work. Ive been having to leave my poor OH to do everything, but he understands. Im not sure what your situation is, but if you do have an OH then let him do the work for a change! Theres no point wearing yourself out.

[shamrockgirl4]

yea paracetomol is ok while preg NOT allowed aspirin or ibruprofen

i got prescribed co-codamol so that must be ok too

 

[lynz]
