Did anyone have this to the extreme? I am so tired it's hard to get out of bed in the morning and to keep my eyes open during the day at work and all I want to do when I get home is get in bed. Does it get any better? Is there anything I can do that will help?

Re: 1st trimester TIREDNESS!!!!
Here is an article from babycenter.com on fatigue and how to deal
Yes, from about 6-12 weeks I wanted to lay on my couch for hours at a time. I took walks, ate more veggies. BUT after that was over I was pretty much back to my normal self except needing a nap abot 3-4pm

I have been extremely exhausted. I usually need a nap everyday and still want to go to bed by 10pm.

I was soooo exhausted to in the beginning until about 12 weeks or so - I found it hard to find the motivation to do just about anything! I felt so horrible because Jordan didn't quite understand - It is much better now but I still take a nap most afternoons with Jordan.

I WISH I could nap! I work in the city and don't get home until 6:15 pm, the earliest. I'm going to have to start to pull a George Costansa and sleep under my desk!

Re: 1st trimester TIREDNESS!!!!
I was completely exhausted beyond ANYTHING I had felt before. It last up until about 12 weeks and there was really nothing I could do to ease it. And believe it or not, I couldnt even nap when I tried. I guess Im just not a napper. AND...now its back in the 3rd trimester!!!

I had this for the first 12 weeks it's completly oppresive b/c you can't fight it. I can never sit still so my dh was very concerned that there might be something wrong, when he would come home and I would be crashed out on the couch or bed... I would go to bed at 7 some nights It gets better although some people say it comes back in the third tri it hasn't for me... only 3 weeks to go

I was extremely exhasted from weeks 6-13, I would come home from work and didnt have energy to cook dinner or do anything, most nights I was asleep by 7:00-7:30. You cant fight it so just try to get enough rest as you can. It does get better!

Re: 1st trimester TIREDNESS!!!!
I have never in my life felt this way and I hope it ends soon. I feel so bad for my husband! I am too tired to cook and too nauseous to look at food. It is amazing how something so tiny can kick my butt like this. I can truly say that I feel miserable!

Re: 1st trimester TIREDNESS!!!!
I know exactly how you feel. This is how I felt when I first was diagnosised with my thyroid condition. Yesterday I didn't even get out of my PJs it just wasn't happening! Now that I am going back to work I don't know how I will do it. But I know it will end soon.

Re: 1st trimester TIREDNESS!!!!
I was very tired through my 1st trimester, going to bed every night at 7:230-8:00 PM. At about 12 weeks, I got my pep back. I am now in my 30th week and I am getting tired again, but it is not as bead as the 1st trimester.

Re: 1st trimester TIREDNESS!!!!
I took all of your suggestions and went to bed at 7 last night - I can't believe I fell asleep and didn't get up until 6:30 this morning (aside from going to the bathroom 4 times!!!!)
I also am taking two prenatals - one in the morning and one at night. I switched them around since the night one was giving me energy (it's the one with Iron in it so that may be what's giving me energy) but that also seems to be helping! Good luck girls! We can do it.....week 6 and counting.....Glad to know I'm not the only one feeling this....
