[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry that I don't recall where but I remember reading that the energy expenditure while pregnant is the equivalent of running a marathon every day.

Tell your husband to take a flying leap! [/quote]

I don't buy that for a second...I'd love to see the original source, but I doubt it would be anything credible. ][/quote]

I remember coming home from work and just lying on the couch. I couldn't even move. Just. So. Tired.

I also heard the marathon comparison. While this source might not be credible enough for you:

"[b]Pregnancy is sort of like climbing a mountain or running a marathon (without having trained) while carrying a backpack that weighs a little more every day. [/b]In other words, it's hard work! During the first trimester of pregnancy, a huge amount of energy goes into building a life-support system for your baby (namely the placenta) – which is why you might be feeling extra pooped around week 9. What's more, your body's metabolism has increased significantly while your blood sugar and blood pressure tend to be lower. Also to blame: All that mood upheaval. Riding the emotional roller coaster of pregnancy can be exhausting."
