Heightened Energy?!?!?!

Could it BE?!?!? I feel like I can move mountains!!! Up at 6:00AM even on the weekends...no naps...and I could just keep GOING! Is this something I can enjoy in this fifth month?

(speaking of that...at 18 weeks am I in my 5th month? I still don't understand the week/month system)

Anyway the energy feels great!

Good for you! Enjoy it! I got lucky and never really had the tired thing. What I am waiting for is to stop having to go to the bathroom all the time- does that happen in the 4/5th month or is it a wive's tale?

I would say that 18 weeks is 4 1/2 months or so and that you are 5 months when you get to 20 weeks- that's just total guessing based on calculating 4 weeks per month. (But when you do that- a pregnancy is 10 months - 40 wks, so who knows really!)

Do I need to get pregnant to get an extra burst of energy!!!

Jenny I feel the SAME way!!!
It was just a few weeks ago I was soooooo tired all the time and suddenly I'm ready to go go go all the time...
I feel SO good right now ( besides the fact that I'm tossing and turing all night)
I hope it lasts my next 19 weeks

somehow jodi i think it is short -lived. call me crazy but I don't picture this energy at 8 months pregnant dragging through Nordstrom shopping, with Christmas music blaring!! I think we might be lacking in the energy department by then!

Sure Cira! Why not? If you can't beat 'em ...join 'em!!!
