Fifth pregnancy, second child (the others ended in miscarriages). I'm 14 weeks and the all day sickness has somewhat subsided but I'm still just physically and mentally drained. I am completely unable to focus on work and have zero drive. I feel so guilty to have piles of work go unfinished. I'm also just mentally in a rut. It feels like the stress never ends Sad

I was this way while I was pregnant. It's exhausting sometimes and for no reason at all. It's why I refuse to have anymore. Pregnancy just isn't for some and some pregnancies are completely different than others. Just take it one day at a time and indulge in whatever (fries and chocolate) will give you those little pick me ups to get through the day. Sorry you're having a rough go this time.

Thank you for responding! It makes me feel better to know others have felt the same way. It wasn't like this at all when I was pregnant with DD. This is the last one as well. I guess the saying of every pregnancy is different holds to be true... Sad

Oh yes, I remember those feelings of ughhhhh I am totally drained that first trimester.

It IS common. My hope for you is that you will start to perk UP from here on in. Towards the end I also recall slowing down a little.

I had several pregnancies, etopics and miscarriages too. Sad

Sorry right now your not feeling well. Hang in there, ok?

**loved being pregnant in spite of feeling ucky. Worst part was going potty in the middle of the night..........
