Would you be tired if you exercised 24 hours a day?

Question

Baby #1 and the fatigue has gotten me feeling SO lazy and it was kind of messing with me. Today I was talking to my friend who is a L&D nurse and she said, “your body is burning more energy just sitting there than you’d burn if you were exercising. Would you feel bad for being tired after exercising 24 hours a day? Because that’s what your body is doing taking care of that baby” and it made me feel a lot better. I wanted to share in case any of y’all are feeling like you’re not handling it well enough.

Answer

That makes me feel a lot better! I’ve been absolutely exhausted, especially following work (I work in a chippy so on my feet running around doing orders for like 7.5 hours at a time, not including the four hour morning shift if I’m on that too), I’ve hardly been sleeping as I’m a nervous wreck too so I’m constantly so fatigued and struggle to get the energy to do anything extra! I definitely feel better about that after reading this! 💁🏼‍♀️

Answer

Yes, this helped. Thanks for sharing.i feel like I'm constantly exhausted!

Answer

Fatigue is seriously real. With my son I couldnt stay awake past 7pm at night during my first trimester. Id come home, lay down, and sleep until dinner, then usually eat very little due to the nausea, and then sleep more until bed time 😂 I also napped in my car a few times when i was starting to fall asleep at my desk at work. It does get better as you exit the 1st trimester, though! Hang in there!
