[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ummm you just work and do your job....what’s so complicated? I had all-time sickness was exhausted and I just drank water and lived and worked and commuted and did meetings and travelled for work. Just count your blessings for being at home and you’re in for a rude awakening of being “tired” with a newborn.[/quote]

You sound so strong and amazing.  :roll:

I actually was more exhausted during the first trimester than I was with a newborn. Lucky enough to work from home, took a three hour nap every afternoon and slept 10 hours every night for most of the first trimester. From 12 weeks on, totally fine. So much sympathy for those that work outside home[/quote]

I am. Especially since I didn’t bitch about being “omg so exhausted I can’t work” on forums. [/quote]

You're very lucky that you can't relate to this thread. Not everyone experiences symptoms the same, and each pregnancy can be different. I was tired with my first, but it was nothing like the tired I felt in the first trimester with this pregnancy---and yes, it was worse than in some ways than being tired with a newborn. With a newborn, I felt tired and on edge all the time. There were time I would fall asleep while trying to stay awake, which is obviously bad with a newborn. But, with this pregnancy, I was passing out at the same time everyday. It was like my body had an expiration, and was much, much, much harder to continue the day without a nap---my body was going to do it whether I wanted to or not.

I agree with the lunchtime napper---if you can find a time in your day that works, trying to squeeze in a nap before you need it may help.
