pregnancy fatigue

I am 18 weeks and I am always tired will it be like this for my entire pregnancy?

I know fatigue is an early effect of pregnancy, but is it normal to feel sleepy ALL the time? For example, I woke up 4 hours ago but I'm ready for a nap!

So, everyone that complains about pregnancy fatigue is a light-weight! I am about 6 weeks along and the pregnancy fatigue is a major IMPROVEMINT over the MS version. I am actually doing well. I was able to go out in the heat and help my husband with the lawn-mower repairs without getting over heated! Happy mothers day to ALL WOMEN. It should be a day to celebrate EVERY woman in your life, not just the mothers you know!

Omg the fatigue in early pregnancy is no joke. I didn't realize how serious it was until I got pregnant. Cant stay up past 9:30pm anymore and it started a couple weeks before I found out.

I'm 11 weeks pregnant with my first baby, the first 8 or so weeks of my pregnancy were fine. I didn't even know I was pregnant until 5 weeks, and even after that I had next to no symptoms. But the last couple of weeks things have taken a huge turn and it's like I've been hit with every symptom imaginable.

I'm 4+5 weeks and this second half of the week I have been the tiredest I have ever been in my whole life, anyone else feeling this way?

I'm 17 wks and feel like I've gotten hit with round 2 of fatigue over the past couple days. Anyone else experience this?

Anyone else pretty early in pregnancy and extremely tired and no energy?? I just feel like I have no energy at all..

I need some advice on what's going on with me lately I've been having cramps and indigestion with heartburn and burping a lot and frequent urination and I've been fatigue and getting headaches I tried googling my symptoms but no luck because it just state their pregnancy symptoms which I doubt. I'm afraid to go to the doctor can someone please help me...

I think it's just a pregnancy thing! I've never felt so tired in my life!

I've felt this way my entire pregnancy (20w4d), my doc did a blood test for a different reason and we found out I am anemic. Hopefully the iron supplement will help. So if you haven't had blood work done, you should ask!

I need some advice please! Im about 6 weeks and fatigue is by far my worst symptom. I get 8-9 hours of sleep every night but I have cut back big time on my caffeine intake because of the pregnancy. I find myself so tired all the time. Some days I doze off at my desk at work! Any help is greatly appreciated!

m not really starting over but gonna be back in diapers in bottles soon lol. My 2nd pregnancy with my daughter I was exhausted so much fatigue and my son was a couple months old. It was hard!

I am almost in the third trimester and i think my fatigue is back. This has been the worst part of pregnancy for me. Any suggestions on how to deal with it?

How soon can symptoms like fatigue occur in a pregnancy? My period ended two weeks ago, but I have been fairly sleepy in the mid to early afternoon the past two days. I've gotten about 7 hours of sleep both nights, which is normal for me.

I am currently 9 weeks and exhausted alllll the time, can't stay awake all day without pushing myself, the hours seem to drag on, I've never been this tired, ever. My first pregnancy I was never this tired.....Does anyone else have this going on? Some days are better than others but yesterday I didn't have work and couldn't peel myself off the couch for more than 20min without feeling like I needed to lay down again. It's like one activity a day and I'm wiped...

what do I do I know there bad for you but this is my third pregnancy and I have a 5 year old and 3 year old so I need to keep busy .....what can I subsitute for my monster crave......

On top of it all my three year old is starting to act out because she never gets to see me. What can I do tho keep my fatigue down more energy but without drinking a bunch of caffeine. Anyone have any tips?

after that I have duphaston 10 mg tablets - 2 times a day from 18th day of periods. Now I am feeling very fatigue and very thirsty.Also, I have mucus secretion from vagina. Is this a symptom of pregnancy?

I asked my doctor if this was normal and she said that it is because of my work schedule and my pregnancy. Does anyone have this problem? Does anyone have any advice as to how to feel well rested without all the extra hours of sleep?

Get lots of sleep and get up and walk around when you can. The fatigue has been the worst part of pregnancy for me. Prenatal yoga is good too. By 12 or 13 weeks you should start feeling better. Take advantage of it. I'm 27 weeks and the fatigue is coming back:( but all of it will be worth it in the end!

Hello, I'm 8 weeks today and I keep hearing how tired I should be. In fact, aside from slightly sore breasts I really don't feel much. In the last couple days I feel pretty energetic. I may have had slight nausea here and there but that's usually after taking my prenatals. Early pregnancy is always a scary time for me after several losses over the past 6 years and 2 failed ivf cycles. This is my 3rd ivf. So thankful for the results but fearful. Any thoughts, experiences?

You can find this in the app by going to the Pregnancy Diary from the home screen and selecting Fatigue from the Symptoms menu. Then click the menu bar in the upper left and select Symptoms Manual to see your symptoms. Hope it helps! http://www.medhelp.

I will be at 8 weeks pregnant tomorrow and I have been experiencing extreme fatigue. I don't remember experiencing this with my first child. I get roughly 7-8 hours of sleep at night, wake up get child off on the school bus and go back to sleep for a few more hours before heading to class myself. on days off I can sleep the day away and I never feel the greatest either. like I said this is different than my first pregnancy.

That nap has constantly turned into 3hr naps or more making me miss much homework/studying time. How does everyone else deal with fatigue? My nap idea isn't working. How about energy foods? What has worked for you?

I am 42 year old female and suffering from terrible fatigue. My labs show normal ranges my hemoglobin is 13.4 and my MCV is 94.9. I just knew I would be suffering from anemia. So I am shocked that my numbers are in normal ranges. My nails are very brittle and splitting apart, huge bruises or no reason and then the fatigue. Any suggestions on other labs I should request? I am so upset and desperate for answers. Just feel terrible and don't have any energy for my children.

Fatigue is starting to kick my butt again!! It is horrible when I go to meetings at work, I literally fall asleep and feel so bad but cant stop it!! I think my body is trying to tell me its time to not work.......but its not really an option. At least I am getting close! If I go by my first due date of April 5 I am 35 weeks and if you go by my second due date of the 11th then I am 34 weesk, definatly hoping for sooner then later!!

I experienced fatigue during my first trimester too. I took naps as often as I could. It didn't last forever. It got better for me some time around 12 weeks or so. Get as much rest as you can.
