I am SOOOOO exhausted. I need you ladies who’ve already been through pregnancy to tell me if this is normal. I mean, I know fatigue is normal, but I could easily sleep 10-12 hours a night AND take a nap sometime during the day. I can barely focus at work because I feel so run down, and I’ve actually taken a couple long lunches so that I could go home and nap. Zoe has obedience training tonight, which means I won’t even get home til 10, and I am just dreading how wiped out I’m going to feel tomorrow. Someone give me some hope!

17+ years later, I can still remember vividly how tired I was in the first trimester of my first pregnancy. I was teaching school then and recall on at least one occasion lying down on top of the desks after my students went home because I was so whipped! Don’t despair, though, because your energy will return. I always felt really great during that middle trimester. The fatigue returned toward the end, but I chalked that up to not being able to get into a comfortable position to sleep at night.
It will be worth it. I promise!

Girl, it’s normal. Although I STILL need 10-12 hours a night and my youngest is 17 months old. Welcome to bliss, little Mama.
Second trimester gets better, and you get hornier than you’ve ever been in your life, so you have that to look forward to.

Ha ha! Sus, I’ve actually heard that. From the boyfriend, no less. I thought he was putting me on, but I guess not. At least that’s something to look forward to!
