Imagine not sleeping for four days, then working a 24 hour shift, and finally having to do 200 loads of dishes. That's how tired I am. I just slept nine hours and I could go back to bed and sleep another nine. I know in my first trimester , I will be going through so many changes in my body that will drain me. I'm like one of those old ladies that can fall asleep in mid conversation. I have been going to bed everyday at 930 pm. I have not gone to bed this early in since I was 16.
I'm not supposed to have caffeine during the pregnancy, which I have given up completely but how the heck do they expect me to stay awake?
I cant have any caffeine , so what am I supposed to do now? All I want is the biggest cup of vanilla coffee I can get my hands on.The experts say " do light exercises to energize you", I can barely get my butt off the couch to go pee, how am I suppose to go do "light exercising"????
Sleepy is just part of it. The only thing I can recommend is to stay away from heavy meals and high carbs. Those slow you down anyway, pregnant or not. Fruits, veggies, lean meats. Healthy and less sleep inducing. Lots of changes going on in there. That requires a lot of your bod. Give it what it needs. It will get better in a few weeks. Love you! The Mema
