First-Time Pregnancy Club

oh tell me about it! i am about to fall asleep right here at the computer! and i got a lot of sleep! thing is, the fatigue is the only real symptom i've been feeling, and i am 11 weeks preg! i feel like fainting half the time, from being so tired. if i walk around too much, i get light headed...whew. i am unemployed right now and i worry what'll happen when i finally get a job!

as for the back pain, i don't have to much of that. have been having lower abdominal pain though.

but i imagine it's a part of preg, i've reda a few books and they all mention fatigue!

Congratulations on your pregnancy!  I'm at 25 weeks now and feeling great.  However, just like you, I felt so exhausted in the beginning.  I was so concerned that if the first part of the pregnancy was making me feel that exhausted and tired how would I survive the full 9 months!  Thankfully, it gets so much better.  My belly is growing now and I'm gaining weight, but my energy level has rebounded and I'm pretty much back to my normal energy level prior to pregnancy.  Hang in there, get as much rest as possible!  Best wishes to you for a healthy and happy pregnancy!
