Q: 16 weeks.. exhausted beyond belief..

How can I feel better?.. I could cry a million years right now from my extreme tiredness.. 16 weeks and I though after 12 weeks you get your energy back and start feeling like yourself.. I have never felt so tired in my whole life and feel like I'm falling apart no exaggeration!!.. I was 19 when I had my son and was a spring chicken.. now I'm 28 I'm wondering how silly I've been waiting so long but I wanted my lovely, family to grow.. how can I feel better.. Please help ladies. :(

I was pretty tired during the 2nd trimester after a fairly easy 1st. Part of it is not sleeping as well now that the baby is bigger, I think. Unfortunately each pregnancy and circumstance is different. Hope you can nap and maybe have a tiny bit of caffeine to perk you up....

I am 27 and 11 weeks right now. I was not tired with my daughter which I had at 20 years old. But I have been so tired and exhausted this whole pregnancy so far. So I know how you feel. Its hard to have absolutely no energy.

I am 17w2d pregnant with my first and I am 30. I actually wasn't overly tired in the first trimester. I thought I was free and clear...and then I hit the second trimester! Weeks 13-15 were rough when it came to being tired. I was confused because everyone said I should get my energy back! I am happy to say the extreme fatigue went away after 15 weeks and I have felt a lot more energized. Otherwise I feel great, I don't think it is so much our age but that each pregnancy is different. I hope you start to get your energy back soon as well!

Sorry your feeling this way. I had my first at 30 and now just had my second at nearly 39. I felt great in my second trimester. I guess everyone is different. Hopefully you'll pick up soon. Try and rest when you can & listen to your body x
