Is it all in my head?
I'm at week 7 and I have been soooo tired and nauseous for the past 2 weeks! But I sometimes wonder if its all in my head.
I feel fine once I'm at work (luckily its a very part-time schedule), but up until I have to leave I just sit on the couch wondering how to settle my stomach (I end up eating 3 breakfasts most days).
The biggest problem is that I should be working more. I have a dissertation to write and my DH and I are moving, so there is no reason to just be sitting on the couch -- or worse napping, but after I pack one box I have to stop and take a break.
How do you guys motivate yourself when you feel tired and pukey???

Actually - at 7 weeks or so I remember feeling sluggish...even falling asleep at my desk. So much is going on right now inside of your body - it's amazing that you even get out of bed.  What helped me - getting to bed earlier and DH helping out more.  It seems to get better over time - that or we are amazing at adjusting.

It's not in your head at all. The beginning was the complete worst. I was always exhausted - I would HAVE to take a nap during the day or I would never make it! Between the tiredness, the nausea, and the heartburn I felt like a hypochondriac who was always complaining about something.

Hey there Jenna!
I think you feel ok at work cause you need to get through your classes - it's like your body says "ok, I have to do this - I'll be fine." I would feel fine while I was teaching, then I'd get back to my office and it was like I hit the wall. A few times I would drive to my parent's house and sleep over there - rather than drive the 45-60 minutes home, I'd be too wiped out.
It WILL get better though!
