i am 6 weeks pregnant due on january 25. i am so excited i get my first ultrasound tomorrow!i already have a 10 month old child so i kind of think this is going to be a little tiring

I have been dealing with a ton of exhaustion in the early part of this pregnancy of mine. I can't imagine when my energy is going to come back, but I have been needing a nap every day. Not one where I just take a little rest, but these are drooly bouts of utter unconsciousness. It's scary because my little four year old is NOT sleeping. I hope that my energy comes back soon.

I have been exhausted too. This is my first pregnancy, and I am 8 weeks. Hopefully, it will get better. I think your body is just going through so much adjusting. My husband has been pretty understanding and helping around the house. That helps alot!

Ladies - Don't worry, you will get your energy back. I'm due in December so I just entered my second trimester. During my whole first trimester, I was so tired to the point my naps were hours long and I felt sick waking up and still wanted to sleep. I never thought I'd get my energy back. But one day around week 12 I just felt great and I still do in week 14. It may vary from person to person, but I think you'll feel much better in the weeks to come.

Thanks hs210600 for the encouragement. I'm glad to know there is light just alittle further down the tunnel. How is it to be in your 2nd trimester? It sounds like the 2nd trimester is the best of the 3; I am sure that it has it's times, though. Do you have to go to the bathroom as much, the same, or more? I have to get up at least once or twice every night to go.

I'm starting to have a little more energy - I stayed up until 11 last night! Since getting pregnant, I have been going to bed at 8. When I get home from work I am a zombie and I just watch TV all night.

It's getting a little better.

That's great that you are getting your energy back. I was the same way as you in my first trimester, exhausted all the time. Second trimester has been a breeze so far. No complains at all!! Except today I've having terrible back pain but that could be something I did at the gym last night. I hope it was the gym b/c I don't think I could take any more days of it.
