Is it normal?

Question

7+5 weeks pregnant with fraternal twins and I have never felt so ill, rough and run down, I have zero energy, the morning sickness I can deal with because it passes by lunchtime but this exhaustion is on another level, anyone else feel this way? I'm a nurse and have had to call in sick because there's no way I can manage a 12 hours night shift feeling like this 😭😭😭😭 all I want to do is curl up in bed and cry 😭 please tell me I'm not the only one feeling this way?

Answer

I felt like this at 7 weeks pregnant. I’d never felt so bad in my life, all day morning sickness, bloating, every pregnancy symptom going but the exhaustion was the worst, I could hardly get out of bed. Luckily I’d already booked a lot of time off work because it was the kids summer holidays and I did manage to go into work if I was having a better day ( didn’t get many). I then had to have 2 weeks on the sick and even when I went back to work at about 13 weeks I still really struggled. I couldn’t stand up for longer than 30 mins and I just wanted to go bed because I was so tired. Things got better over the coming weeks and my sickness and other pregnancy symptoms passed and work became easier. I’m now 22 weeks and by the end of the day I’m really tired and struggling with sciatica but I would hate to have to replay them early weeks because they were the worst ever!! I hope you start to feel better soon and take advantage of any help that gets offered x

Answer

I’m 14w with fraternal twins and still exhausted most days. Some days are better than other but it’s rough:(

Answer

You are not alone!!! Was exhausted throughout the first trimester. Was napping 4-5 hours throughout the day just to make it. The second trimester has brought some more energy, but still need the rest mid day. Some days I don’t need a nap and that’s a win for me hah! Hang in there
