(This is kind of like a vent but I wanted to put my post in here instead of the Venting section so that way anyone who is sensitive right now to pregnancies and what not b/c of their experience, wouldn't have to see this.)






Anyways, I am just miserable this pregnancy. I have felt blah & just not well, period, since the beginning. And I have a long way to go...With Gabby, I only felt miserable from 9-14 weeks or so....

I just have absolutely no energy. It takes all I have to even get up and feed my daughter or to even take a shower! If I could just have energy some days, I would be ok...but THAT is what is making me miserable. I just want to sit in this chair or lay on the couch or lay in bed & do nothing. I can't even sit on here for awhile at night b/c I'm too tired.

Around noon everyday, it hits me. I don't sleep good at night, but there's nothing I can do about that anyways.

I just hate how exhausted I feel 24/7. I just want this pregnancy to be over with. Hope that doesn't make me sound terrible, but I just want the baby and to leave this pregnancy stuff behind.

Does anyone have any tips for having energy? Hell, I dont know, thought maybe there was some magic tea I could drink or something :lol I am taking vitamins.

I just hate this. I pray to God this goes away soon as I'm entering 2nd trimester now. But hell, if it's been there from the beginning, it'll prob be there till the end. I would just like 4 weeks of not being so tired. I would like to enjoy this pregnancy. I wish I could be like those women who feel amazing.

I don't mind be kind of tired, but to the point of exhaustion sucks. Hell, I'm already yawning :sigh

My pregnancy was like that. I took naps all day long (especially in my 3rd trimester) and was still exhausted. I was just too tired to do anything. I quit my job about a month into my 3rd trimester so I could rest when I wanted to and prepare for the baby.

But I feel you. It was hard to muster the energy to do anything. A trip to the grocery store would completely wipe me out and have me beyond exhausted the rest of the day. And I had to do that stuff cuz DH was deployed so there was no one to do it for me.

I never found anything that helped. I was already taking iron supplements for being a little anemic so it shouldn't have been that and my sugar levels were fine so I wasn't diabetic. Even taking naps didn't alleviate the exhaustion as much as one would think....

Hope it gets better for you!

Hang in there Rach. :hugs

oh hun :hugs. i'm 19 weeks and i'm exhausted too. it's gotten worse the farther i go along. maybe talk to your dr. about some energy boosting tips.

How far along are ya? Every prenancy is different. But when I was pregnant with Ashley I was more tired. I think cuz I had a toddler tot end to and I COULDNT just sleep when I wanted to. So I got in the habit of sleeping when Ethan did. WHen he took a nap I slept, When he went to bed, I slept etc.

Its hard being pregnant with another 1 to look after. You cannot sleep whenever, you cant just lay on the couch and do nothing etc. You HAVE to get up to tend to your other child. I think thats what gave me the most energy. I just tried to eat right (lots of green leafy veggies for iron and such) and do the things I needed to do without overdoing. Rod used to yell at me cuz here I was..9 months pregnant and still cleaning my house, tending to Ethan, making dinner, etc :lol

Hope you feel better. If it gets too bad have your iron levels checked.

I know how you feel. My worst pregnancy was with Wyatt because I had Alex and Cameron to take care of and Cameron wasn't even 1 yet.

You may have low iron, I always do and that makes it so much worse. Also, as much as you may not want to consider it, you may also have a little depression contributing to it because of all the shit that you've been going through.

with my last i was like you all the time. i had horrible muscle pain in my back and leg cramps that wouldn't go away. sleeping like crap and feeling awful all the time. plus 2 kids to look after. I wish i could say that it got better, but it didn't I just learned to push through it. I wound up sending the kids to the preschool across the street for three hours a day just so i could lay around and do nothing. hopefully you will reach a magic mark in your pregnancy when you get a bit more energy.

I am with sarah too, with everything you have been dealing with lately it might also be stress from that. :hugs

Oh, I'm sure stress is a contributing factor.

I'm 12 weeks now...I see my dr next at 15 weeks so if I still feel like this, than I'll talk to her about possible low iron :yes

I do try to nap when she does but then I don't want to get up when she's up :lol

You craving ice by any chance?

Nope. I really have not craved anything since about 9 weeks!

i hope you feel better soon, rach!! :hugs

aw Rach, I hope you get some relief soon

Nope. I really have not craved anything since about 9 weeks!


Craving ice is a good indication you have low iron :teehee I hope you start to feel better soon. I know much it it sucks!

Thanks ladies :) I've tried to not complain much but thought maybe someone might have some magic advice :giggle

That's why I said you're having a boy! :lol I felt like shit my entire pregnancy, was tired all day, everyday, was always nauseous etc etc.

I'm sorry you're feeling so miserable Rach. I wish I knew of something that could help you feel better.

:hugehug

:hugs I know I was sooo tired till about 15 weeks NOTHING could keep the tiredness away, then it went away for the most part till 26 weeks and from then till now I've been beyond tired. Even going to work for a couple hours wears me out and I pray to go home and nap :( I hope you feel better soon hun :hugs if you need to talk call me :)

I could not get off the couch when I was pg. Piper took EVERYTHING out of me. I would suggest making sure you eat a healthy diet. Make sure you get all the nutrients you and the baby need. I am not the healthiest person and I suspect that played a huge part in me being tired all the time. It never went away. In fact, it was so bad, I looked sick while I was pg instead of getting a glow. Everyone said so.
