How do you deal with fatigue?

Question

I’m a very active girl generally speaking, I love my job and super dedicated to my workout and love to hang out with friends. 
Now I’m 11 weeks pregnant and this fatigue is killing me, I’m tired all the time and can’t get much done on my day and I don’t know how to work around it. 
What about you?

Answer

This is me. I’m usually very social and active. Ever since 5 weeks, I’ve been able to sleep 18 hours a day. It’s crazy. I need naps throughout the day even after a full nights rest. It’s such a weird feeling. I don’t force myself to do anything else. I’ve skipped out on parties, dinners, events and let me take care of myself and baby - always comes first! Plus it won’t last too much longer anyhow!!

Answer

Don’t force yourself to stay active. Sleep well to let your placenta grow. Keep taking small naps whenever you feel lethargic. Also exercise in first trimester is mostly a red signals by so many doctors but some prefer light exercise

Answer

I have a 17 month old and prego with #2 (7 weeks) and I’m exhausted too. He only goes part time to daycare so when my hubs and I are off he is home with us and we don’t have the same days off so it’s just me and him. I always take a nap when he lays down after lunch for about two hours. I usually go to bed by 8 right after I get him in bed too. Sleep/rest as much as you can. The rest of the stuff can just wait - dishes, laundry, cleaning, workout, etc. have your partner pick up some slack too so you can rest.

Answer

I’m 26 weeks now and yea in my first trimester I forced myself to go to the gym after work, usually changed at work so I was already in gym clothes, plus my gym was on the way home. But honestly I would rest on the weekends, even lying down for an hour in between what I had going on for the day and didn’t plan a lot.
I will say I feel like around week 13-14 I wasn’t as fatigued so try and hang in there!
