So extremely tired

Faith

Hi ladies!

I am about ~6 weeks pregnant (first child) and work as a creative director at a NASA center here in Los Angeles. Needless to say, I am super busy and lately this pregnancy has placed a hard hold on productivity, let alone, my ability to even remember certain things! The past few days have been the hardest and since I’ve cut off caffeine (and all other herbal supplements,) I’ve been sort of worthless at work. I have an appointment with my OB on the 27th for my first ultrasound and will be roughly hitting week 8. I am so extremely tired every morning and once 3:30pm hits, I am utterly useless. Luckily, I’ve been able to force myself to commit to my my daily gym time, which helps with energy, but unfortunately doesn’t last long. If anyone can share tips on increasing their energy levels I’d really appreciate it! I know I still have a long road ahead of me and I somehow need to find a way to endure this. I feel like I’m trying as much as I can - eating every 3-4hrs, going to the gym, sleeping early. Is there hope during this phase? HELP!

Thank you so much! And sending all my positive vibes to all of you!
