Extreme Tiredness

I was never this tired with my first pregnancy – in fact I was overly active and I kept getting told by my mum to rest up abit.

Now I find myself wilting away at work. Working on the 2nd floor doesn’t help either as I am up and down the stairs all day. I come home and all I want to do is just crash on the sofa. Right now I am on my bed and just about mustering up the energy to type this.

Hubby got me some samosa chaat on the way home from work and I even struggled to motivate myself to eat it!

I have been googling tiredness and apparently it is an early symptom of pregnancy and it should go away once I am into my second trimester. So potentially another 6 weeks of feeling exhausted all the time!

I am so glad it is the weekend. Going to do as little housework as I can get away with and just rest up.

The other thing I have noticed is that my hormones are playing up. I got so frustrated with a client at work and normally I am quite chilled out.

However, on the plus side, another client got me a box of ferrero rocher to say thanks for my hard work.

That made my day.
