How is it possible to be this tired!?!

Question

I'm 5.5 weeks, I'm having such a hard time staying awake at work. I sleep 8+ hours a night and I'm still completely exhausted all the time. We're getting into our busy season at work and I'm trying to start organizing things at home to prep for the baby and I can't barely keep my eyes open. Tell me I'm not alone! What is everyone else doing to help with the extreme exhaustion????

Answer

My baby book said it's as if your body is running a marathon it hasn't trained for.
Try to nap as much as you can. I'm nearing the end of the first trimester and noticing I'm less tired than I was in the beginning.

Answer

I'm 10 weeks now but between 5 and 8 weeks I was asleep as soon as I got home from work. Felt crappy all the time. It's eased up a lot at week 9 onwards.

Answer

Me toooo! 🙋🏼 I fall asleep on the couch sitting up these days 😴

Answer

I had a pretty easy pregnancy other than the exhaustion. I felt like I go to sleep at the drop of a hat. It was awful the first trimester, seemed to ease up the second trimester and was back the third trimester.

Answer

Because your body is doing a lot of hard work.
