Girl, I know how you feel.  I am currently 12 weeks(as of today) and do work but I have to get in atleast one nap a day.  Got to where when I go to sleep at night I toss and turn (and have crazy dreams) all night.  Hoping also it gets better in the 2 trimester.  Good luckSmile

I hear you - I was SO tired in my first trimester. Many pregnant women experience greater energy levels in their second trimester. It felt so great to have more stamina. You often feel rather tired again towards the end of your pregnancy - it can be hard to sleep and move when you have your full pregnant tummy. :-)  I hope you feel better soon!

I'm a couple weeks into my second trimester and I will tell you for me my energy has finally came back. I was soo tired in the first that it seemed all I did was work and sleep. The thing that did help some with energy was taking a 30 minute walk outside. Something about the sunshine and fresh air helped me.
