but I am not so sure. I don't remember even being CLOSE to this tired during the beginning of my pregnancy with my daughter! I am 9 weeks and 5 days and I feel like I could fall asleep standing up at work. I am getting tired of co workers asking all the time "what is wrong" or "why are you so tired"! Then other co workers telling me to "lose the attitude" when i get mad at them for asking me for the FIFTYTH time "what is wrong" or "why are you so tired".
Doc said my blood work was normal and it just means my hormones are out of whack like they should be and to enjoy it as a sign of a healthy pregnancy so far (I miscarried in Feb).

Some of them had kids and one is really sweet, I call her mama anyway, she is more of a mom to me then my mom is. She usually only has to look at me now and see I am tired, she just asks me why I am not sleeping, which I am! Another coworker with kids is usually nice about it will ask me a couple times and then the other day as I was leaving she told me "good bye cranky go home and take a nap", but I knew she was joking.
It is just this one girl in my department that is REALLY getting on my nerves (doesn't have kids) and my department managers too (and she is a grandmother)!!!
I can't quit my job, I bring home the bulk of the income because my fiance pays child support for his other two kids, but I have been trying to get a nap in on my days off.

Also my daughter is slowing accepting her 9 pm bed time because mommy can't stay awake. Hehe the other night she was playing and I dozed off on the couch and she came over and said "mama up" and after a few minutes she came to me with a clean diaper, wipes and her blankie and said "baby and 'ankie bed time".
I can't convince her that her name isn't baby, but lately she has been saying she is "Baby Ally" so I have been content with that!
Speaking of which, bed time.

I was so tired in my first trimester that 12 hrs of sleep just didn't cut it. I finally took time off work for a month to try to relax and keep up my strength because I had lost a baby 6 mths earlier beacuse of stress. My doctor told me that if I was tired I needed to sleep and it was a sign from my body. The second trimester was great but now I am in the third and quit work because I was so tired. I started getting ill and my immune system was down. My advice take off if you can, if not, learn to live in your PJs as soon as you get home.

I certainly understand your fears. It is normal to be tired during the first trimester. My sister is now 25 weeks. She is alot more tired this time around. Her first child was born still about 2 years ago. She is struggling to keep her mind at ease but it is a difficult task.
Rest when you can, you may need to make some adjustments in your routine. Listen to your body, if you are tired in the middle of the day and can take a rest or short nap, do it.

I'm sure its normal, were you working when you had your first child? If i were you I'd quit your job and just be on bed rest if your really that tired. if you don't want to quit your job then maybe you should just take more naps and go to bed earlier and try not to do a lot of work around the house. as for your employee's, there totally rude for asking you to lose the temper. everyone knows pregnant women are emotional and they should understand that but maybe they're also concerned about you too? hope everything goes well!

I was that tired! With both my pregnancies I was not able to work, I had to go on medical leave. Both times! I would go shopping for one hour at a slow pace and come home and lay on the couch... just shaking (or I felt like I was... I wasn't really). Try iron supplements...and 9 months of waiting.. that is all I could do. But you are not the only one.

You are going to be tired, your gonna be tired for the next 9 months, because your body is going thru ENORMUS changes...Thing is your just going to have to adjust to it.
Keep some snacks with you at work so you can boost your energy, and eat fresh fruit whenever you can..
Also, eat your veggies...and take your prenatel vitamins.
They have extra iron in them which your body needs.
Drink milk, this is good for your bones and babys.
When you get home from work,put your feet up, take a small nap or just lie down.
(On your break at work, put your feet up too)
As long as your Dr. says your blood work is ok, then your fine, but if you still think something wrong, go get a 2nd opinion from another Dr.

I was soo tired that I actually quit my job because I couldnt stay awake. It is totally normal. You may have not felt this before because all pregnancies are different. Your co workers must not have kids haha! They should be a little more understanding. Good thing is that it usually stops for a bit in your 2nd trimester.

when i was pregnant all i did was sleep, my husband use to get upset cause we rarely saw each other. i was in bed by 6pm and got up for work at 8am. i was so exhausted, but it ended by the 2nd trimester. i use to just doze off all the time. that was the sign of pregnancy i had had.
