so tired I could cry

mrselton81

I'm 5 weeks pregnant and in week 6 and i'm so tired I could cry. I work 10 hour days and 5 day weeks and I should be able to cope. I get between 6 and 8 hours sleep and I go for a walk every day for around 30 minutes. I'm so tired I could close my eyes at work and sleep like a baby. Can't use caffeine to stay awake so I don't know what to do. Please help me before I nod off and embarrass myself lol xxx

I only work 10hrs/week, but I am in college and have three little boys, and I'm exhausted constantly, too. I was at work last night and literally started tearing up when I thought about staying for another hour and then driving home. I've been like this with every pregnancy, though, and honestly, I haven't found anything that really helped a lot. Make sure you're getting a lot of iron-mention it to your doc, s/he might suggest supplements. Nap whenever possible (I know, that's practically impossible). But for me it was a matter of time. It got slightly better during the second trimester and then came back worse than ever in the third trimester. And then I had a newborn, lol.
