Please offer advise, help if you can. I am going into my 13th week

of pregnancy tomorrow (baby measures one week more than that) and

I'm totally exhausted!!! I mean - I know our bodies are working

overtime but I thought I'd get that jolt of energy around this

time. I sleep 7 - 8 hours a night, sometimes more, and take a nap

when my toddler does that lasts around 2-3 hours a day. I'm just so

tired like I feel like I just finished a marathon.

My last blood tests showed all of my levels were okay but I was sick

after that with a sinus infection. I now take Zyrtek at night and

Flonase spray for allergies. I started taking 1 to 2 over the

counter iron pills a day just incase my iron had gotten low and take

1 prenatal Nutranate on most days. I'm eating very healthy meals.

If you've experienced this exhaustion during this time in your

pregnancy please let me know how long it lasted and what you did to

help get over it.

Thanks!

,

I know EXACTLY what you mean! I am 12 weeks pregnant and have been

exhausted for a while now. After work, I come home and have

absolutely no energy! One night last week, I cooked dinner and I was

so worn out by the time that I finished that I told my husband I

wasn't cooking again until I got my energy back.

I agree with Jacque, it was not like this with my other two pre-WLS

pregnancies, even when I was obese. I thought it had to do with my

low B12 levels, but apparently not. I haven't had morning sickness

at all, which I wasn't expecting this time around either, but this

extreme fatigue is getting to me. I'm going to mention it to my

OB/GYN tomorrow at my 12 wk. check-up, but I'm not expecting him to

be able to help much. So, for now I guess we just grin and bear it

and try to rest as much as we can!!!

mono...not pregnancy. i didn't wake up to eat, answer the phone,

answer the door, or go to work (lost my job) and that was all at

19 years old pre wls. so i think every pregnancy is different and

every baby is different. hang in there girl...it will be worth it.

Thanks for your post. I guess it really helps me to know that all

of the people that answered about this exhaustion thing - I AM NOT

ALONE!

I just wonder if it's my age (36) and the WLS combined. I'm also

taking care of my 3 year old but he's pretty good at helping me out

now so it's not like another infant.

I pray that we all get a good span of energy soon! Thanks for

everyone's reply on this subject and - let me know what your

doctor suggests. I don't have my next checkup until April 14 - and

I thought I might have blood work done up then to see if anything

was out of whack but my bloodwork has always been perfect so I'm not

really counting on that!

Best wishes,

Too tired to write more! LOL

I was soooo exhausted in the first months of my pregnancy. I was

able to make it to work but slept all weekend long. My hubby gave me

grief about having to take care of our difficult 3 year old by

himself. Man did he feel guilty when we found out I was two months

pregnant!

Anyway, I am 18 weeks and just starting to have more energy. Don't

get me wrong, I still fall asleep by 9 p.m. every night but now I

actually cook dinner and play with my daughter before her bedtime. I

really think the extra vitamins I take have helped too.

So to everyone out there struggling, it does get better!!

Now if I could just get over the whole " I don't wanna gain weight! "

thing, I would be a happy camper.

Tracey,

I don't know how you do it - and on your feet all day too! I really

applaud you and I know your clients do as well. I couldn't imagine

having to work like that all day - because what you do is really

exhausting work - or so I think.

May will be here before you know it - thanks for your reply.
