Hi Lemons: I'm only 5 weeks but I've been crawling into bed at 8:30 every night this week - hope you get your energy burst soon! I think I'm going to have to start taking walks to get active and energized.

I definitely feel more tired in the 2nd than I did in the first. I chalk it up to the fact that my work switched me to 10 hour days and I have been staying an extra 2-3 hours every night to finish homework. I am so so ready to be done with this semester, I can hardly stand it. Hope you feel more energetic soon!

PS---Are you drinking enough water?

Thanks Shanny and Badjes

I drink water all through the day but I get exhausted so easily.

I am not sleeping too well so I guess that is going to have a knock on effect making me tired during the day (I have to get up to pee about 4 times a night!).

Other than the tiredness I feel great but I do miss having energy.

I started prenatal yoga this week so I am hoping it helps.

Take care ladies.

Badjes I really hope you start to feel better soon - how come your work increased your hours?? Doesn't seem fair!

I am also waiting for the perks of 2nd trimester to take effect. Clearly if you are at 15 weeks Lemon I'll be waiting for some time.

I am so tired all the time. And I am also getting up sometimes 3 and 4 times a night to pee. I thought these nasty symptoms of 1st trimester were supposed to subside!?!? Oh well, at least it makes me aware of the fact that I am indeed pregnant, and I like the daily reminder since I'm not showing yet!

Sorry, 16 weeks!

Lemons-My hours just switched to four 10 hour shifts. It will be temporary, thankfully, and actually it should help with school since I have Tues, Wed, Thurs off each week. Seeing as how I have 2 term papers due, it will be a good thing. I had to work 7 days in a row due to the pay periiod timing. I was a rough week, but I'm over now!! I took some prenatal yoga classes, I loved them, but then I got lazy and haven't gone in a few weeks. I should get with it, they really helped. It's been nice here so I've been walking. I am up 2-3 times a night in the bathroom as well. It gets old. I've pretty much comes to terms with the fact that it will probably be that way until baby comes!!
