I am about 6-8 weeks pregnant and I am EXAUSTED!!! I have been pregnant 3 other times and don't ever remember being this tired. I am almost falling asleep typing this...at the same time this is the only thing keeping me awake here at work right now.

Yeah you can be sick as a dog with ur first pregnancy and fly thru your 2nd, each on is different. That's about the right time anyways to feel that way. It's almost done though hang in there!!

Unfortunately, every pregnancy is different. Symptoms you may have felt in previous other ones, may not be the case this time. This is my third pregnancy, I am 5 months... and this is by far, the most terrible when it came to tiredness. I work and I would find myself nodding out at my computer. It was horrible. Now that I have gone into my fifth month, it seems to be going away a bit. Although, I do still feel tired. It was different for my second pregnancy, I was constantly sick but not tired, and the first too. This one I am spared the sickness and nausea but I could barely stay awake. Don't worry, it's all normal, it will get better I suppose, as you get into the second trimester. Good luck.

I keep asking everyone I know the same question. Seems like I can't get enough sleep. I go to bed tired, wake up tired, and am constantly tired. I take my prenatals and it doesn't help. I am 21 weeks with #4 and I thought it was supposed to go away. Only thing I can think of is that I am chasing around 3 other little kids so it makes me more tired. Asking the doctor about it when I got in at the end of the month though. Perhaps you should do the same. Good luck and Congrats

Being tired is a good thing. Your body is working really hard to make that baby. Maybe your life is just different, or more stressful this time around. Mental exaustion can cause your body to be extra tired. Try and take a nap during your lunch breaks. Have your husband put your kids to bed so that you can turn in early.

That can happen to some woman in the first few months of a pregnancy, its because the hormones in your body are changing and though its your 3rd, your body has to get ready for this baby again!
I was exhausted with my second, I think it was well, I had a 1 year old running around, and I was working, and I was pregnant!
So, with you having 2 kids, working, and being pregnant, you are more likely to be really tired!!!!!!
You will get less tired soon!!!!
Try to get more sleep at night if you can, I know its hard..... but you do have to take care of your growing baby now too :)
Congrads!!!

I'd also like to add a few more suggestions. Watch what you are eating and drinking. Keep an eye on caffeine intake and things of the like. Also, have your iron checked....or better yet eat foods with more iron. That will give you the needed energy. Are you taking pre-natal pills? Those are very important as well. You need all the help you can get cause BABY is going to take what it needs..... :) Congratulations.

Each pregnancy is different. Fatigue is normal with pregnancy. You're older now, you've done this three times before, its a lot of work on your body.
Make sure you're taking your prenatal for the iron you need, drink plenty of water, and sleep more when you can. Also, taking a nice b vitamin complex can help a lot. Check your prenatal, most have enough it them.

You have to remember that every pregnancy will be different. With my first child, I could sleep 24/7. With my current pregnancy, I have a lot more energy.
Check with your doctor on this one. It could be that you may be low in iron or other nutrients, which could be why you are so tired.
Good luck!

Your body is changing rapidly...Increasing blood supply ect. It is using your normal energy to do this. If it continues you may be anemic. I used to get B12 shots when I was pregnant. It will get better sweetie. Congrats and Good Luck !!!!
