With this pregnancy I've been tired but in the last few days I have been overly EXHAUSTED. I get plenty of sleep, wake up feeling great, get to work and want to take a nap. Since I can't have caffeine, please give me some advice. Does it stop as soon as the 1st tri is over (which is 5 days away!)?

Re: BOTB: When does it stop?
It does for most people. My doctor said give it until 14 weeks. The end of the first tri was the absolute worst for me. Just hang in there for a little longer and it gets better!
How are you feeling besides the exhaustion? Any other symptoms?
2nd tri is MUCH better as far as exhaustion goes. I didn't find mine went away overnight like other girls have claimed but I did find that I gradually started feeling better over a few days.
I hope it goes away quickly for you!
I totally feel your pain. I would sleep for 12 hours straight at night, then wake up and feel too exhausted to even get dressed.
Looking back, I really wish that I would have taken a day off now and then just to rest. It's the one thing I would do differently if I had it to do over. Is that an option for you?
negative, since I just started this job. I also am trying to be conservative with my time off since I will want to take some off this summer. I am seriously considering cancelling our Christmas plans though becuase I need some time to rest and recoup, but I'm afraid of doing that, because I will regret it later.
Ditto Shoe. I heard stories of the miraculous overnight relief, but I didn't get to experience it.
MT, I hope you are feeling better by Christmas, so you don't have to decide. Listen to your body. Your peeps will understand.
