Exhaustion


Hey all,

my GF is 9 1/2 weeks along, and she seems to be exhausted all the time she doesnt have a job at present. She seems to be taking a fair amount of naps, something that she wouldnt normally be doing.

I wanna know how normal this would be, as this is my first baby i'm not exactly skilled on this lark lol. is this usual??

Very normal. Most women experience extreme exhaustion in the first trimester.

I'm only 4 weeks but i'm already starting to feel shattered. Hopefully she'll start to feel a bit more energised soon. As for whether you let her sleep and miss the film or wake her up, i'd say let her sleep & just say sorry for letting her miss the film. If you wake her up and she's shattered she'll be in an even worse mood anyway! LOL

you saying that, she was asleep on the sofa the other day, just doesd off while i was working from home. she had been spark out for a couple of hours, so i made her a drink and gently woke her cause i wanted to make sure she was able to sleep at night........needless to say she wasnt happy lol. I think she's forgiven me know, but from now on i think i'm just gonna leave her to it.
