[quote=Anonymous]I ate saltines and drank ginger ale throughout the day with my first.  Then when I got home, I just lazed about.  I did a lot of takeout for dinner or cereal and laid on the couch.  On the weekends, I stayed in bed until evening.  I also tried to stay active and continued my normal workout routine as much as possible.  It was hard to get started, but a good workout actually helped me feel better, surprisingly.

I feel like it's been worst now with my 2nd.  Maybe because I have a toddler to take care of so I don't get nearly as much rest as I did the first time around.   I'm teleworking becasue of COVID and I work from bed a lot of days.  If I'm feeling really bad, I log off for a while and catch up later or take leave.  I would not have been able to work 8-9 hours a day every day this time around if I had to commute and go into the office.  The doctor prescribed dicleges (spelling?) and it's helped some.

Hang in there.  It gets better.   I am just now feeling normal again at 16 weeks, although I started to feel less fatigued and nauseous at 13 weeks. [/quote]
