It will get better. I was so tired in the beginning, but now I have a lot more energy. I am still tired physically, but not like in the first trimester. You are almost to number two, so just hang in there. Also, eat lots of protein and drink lots of water. I hope you feel better soon :)

ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!! I'm 11 wks pregnant and was feeling fine the past two weeks. I thought, this is great, I can start enjoying being pregnant. Then BOOM, Sunday night I took a dive. I was absolutely useless at work on Monday. Yesterday all I did was showered and brushed my teeth. I literally laid on the couch and took 2 naps the whole day. I went to work this morning and felt so sick then actually got dizzy. I came home and slept some more and have been feeling just so tired and sick. I go to the dr's. tomorrow and am going to ask her about my iron. I am so relieved to hear that I'm not the only one!!!!!!!!!!! I've felt so lazy and useless.

I am on layoff right now, but during my first trimester I was also working full time and I was exhausted, not to mention cranky and weepy. I know how you feel! My suggestion is, sleep whenever possible. Don't worry about housework and don't feel bad about canceling on social activities. Your body is doing so much right now and you will feel so much better if you just put your feet up, nap if you can, and let everything else go. It will get better and you will be able to do all that other stuff after this phase passes. Good luck and I hope you feel better!
