When is fatigue 'extreme fatigue'?

[erikab922]

I'm about 10 weeks and have been so tired, and I mean tired. We're on holiday this week, just a little seaside cottage for some R&R, and every day I've slept 11 hrs a night and taken a 5-6 hour 'nap' (if you can call it that!) during the day. That's a lot of sleep! Pre-pregnancy I could usually manage about 7 hours at a stretch, and now I'm lucky if I can stay awake 7 hours in a day.

Is anyone else having this kind of fatigue? I'm so glad I don't have another child because I don't know how I'd cope!

wait till you get to third tri, dont worry it eases up by week 15ish, and then you have like 3 months to get everything done before it comes back x

Ha ha, I keep hearing about this wonderful thing called a 'second trimester' and am hoping it comes soon!

my first pregnancy was like this I would sleep 16 - 18 hours a day and when I would be awake I had horible vertigo all was caused by low blood pressure thanks to all the hormones

I keep saying 'what is the upside to this whole pregnancy thing, why does ANYONE do it?' and my partner's like, umm, for the baby? Oh yeah!

Haha he is right...my son is my whole world and anything the pregnancy threw at me was worth it...which is what keeps me going when i feel like shit now hahahaha

The second trimester does sound like heaven right now. Between the nausea and the fatigue I don't even feel like a functional person!

oh god I am dreading this, I was really tired with my DD from like 7/8 weeks until the 2nd tri. I am only 5 weeks at the mo and I am doing ok. This time round I have my DD all day, hubby comes home and I go to work 5-9 in the eve I am not sure how I cope if I am as tired as i was last time! DD still has 2 hour nap in the afternoon so i'll have to go down when she does....the house work will have to wait!!
hope your all feeling ok x x

I find that I'm tired all the time as well, hard to take naps though when you have a toddler running around
