Those who already have DC #1

How do you manage while pregnant???!! I am only 6 weeks along but I have insane, life sucking exhaustion right now and it's so hard to function all day..........especially when having to deal with an almost 4 yr old. I am sooooo wiped out, all I want to do is close my eyes and pass out but I cant. This is torture!!!!!!

Re: Those who already have DC #1

It got MUCH better for me @ 16 weeks. That 1st trimester exhaustion is no joke but I have not felt that tired since and I'm almost at the end.

It's so hard when I was pg with DD I felt so guilty that I didn't have the energy to keep up with son. It's the same this time too....I am nauseous and tired and DS and DD want me to do things but by the time I get home from work, I can barely keep my eyes open. I remember that the second trimester was a lot better and I got a lot of my energy back.

It was hard and honestly I don't know how I did it but I just kept reminding myself that it's not forever. This time I find keeping busy helps a lot. I cannot stay home all day because all I want to do is sit on the couch and nap so I'm out with the boys early on my day off. Sure I'm exhausted by night time but they go to bed.

Thanks girls. I know it will pass but it just sucks right now. With my DD the exhaustion passed around 12'ish weeks. I guess I just have to hang in there and look ahead to the blissful second trimester. lolol
