I am ionly six weeks pregnant but very tired. I had 12 hours sleep last night and still struggled to stay awake today. Had anyone else suffered from this.

I never had any MS with DD but think the hormones were directed to the fatigue department instead. I would somehow struggle along til lunchtime (at work), then sleep my 45min break, get home and sleep again. Wake up for dinner and back to sleep.
I was lucky with my job being in childcare, so a lot of the day I could be sitting down to interact with the kids. I honestly don't know how I made it through those 7 weeks but somehow I did.
My only tips...try and eat something before you sleep and brush your teeth, that way you don't wake up with that awful taste in your mouth from a nap and feel groggy.
Apples are meant to give you more of an energy hit than caffeine. Even so I was drinking a 600mL bottle of coke a day (don't drink coffee).
Hope it passes quickly for you

I found the first trimester the hardest with both of my pregnancies.

I was constantly tired and napped through the day. Once I was half way through my second trimester I was a lot more energetic.

I'm almost 8 weeks. I went to bed on Friday night at about 9 and slept until 8. Went back to bed at 12 for an hour. Then again at 3:30. Managed to stay up later that night to wrap all our christmas gifts, and went to bed at 10:30, and slept until about 8. Went back to bed at 10, slept until 12 and then fell asleep on the couch at 3:30 for an hour. Slept from 9 to 7 this morning. It's a miracle I made it through work today.

So in answer to your question, yes, I'm suffering badly at the moment. Bring on 2nd Trimester

Absolutely feeling it. 6 weeks was probably around the time it really hit hard. I'm just over 10 weeks now, and today was my best day at work for weeks, so I'm hoping that's the start of it passing, and my energy returning!

It's been horrendous. I told work about my pregnancy just on 9 weeks, partly because I felt I was slacking off, and I wanted to explain my tiredness

[Bluemakede]

Up till about 10 weeks I was absolutely exhausted, it made getting through the end of uni absolute hell. The last 5 weeks haven't been as bad, but I'm still tired all the time, I just don't need to sleep 8-8 everyday + want naps now.

Glad its not just me, hope it passes soon

Thank god I am not the only one suffering this. I sleep well at night and wake up just as tired as I went to bed. Been like this since about 4 to 5 weeks. Now I'm 7.5 weeks. I work in a nursing home so on my feet all day and run off my feet. Don't know how I get through the day sometimes. Exhausted when I get home. the couch is my new best friend. My dog misses his walks.

Yes I was that exhausted, I felt like just collapsing, even managed to give myself an exhaustion induced migraine (i had never had a migraine) and ended in hospital for 3 days as they thought I had a mini stroke ... However once 14 weeks hit I feel normal again thank goodness so there is hope

I am also really, really tired (7 wks now) and the ms has been really kicking in the last couple of days.

I tried to have a nap this afternoon but the kids were being noisy as they were having lots of fun with DH, finally fell asleep but then was literally woken up after 1 minute as one of my kids jumped on the bed!
