I am super tired still at 13 weeks. I can't catch a break at all. I work and the pace is slow... I barley can keep my eyes open. How have you survived this? I feel like I have been at work for 6 hours... but really it's only been 1 hour!!! YIKES!

Man, I remember how much that sucked. It really does get better but in the mean time, I'd try to sneak in naps whenever you can. I napped on my lunch break frequently and tried to catch naps in the evenings or on the weekends. Good luck!

I'm 20 weeks and I'm also still feeling exhausted, even worse than the first trimester. I only work 30 hours a week, but I'm going to ask my high-risk OB if that's too much. I can barely make it through the day, then I'm too tired to cook or clean when I get home. On my days off, I take a long nap. I work in a pharmacy and my supervisor made me sit down and rest last night for a few minutes at the end of my shift.

I am 23 weeks and still get very fatigued. I work full time 40 hrs, I have a 7 yr old, have my house on the market, and my hubby is gone until the end of March, so I am playing single mom right now. I am exhausted at the end of each and every day. I try to just sleep when I can, nap if I get a chance on days off.

The fatigue was really bad in the 1st tri, then got better, now its back because I am not getting good sleep since its hard to get comfortable.
