im feeling so weak..any suggestions?

[radhika28]

Hi,
im 6 wks pregnant and i have a lot of weakness, just not able to get up.with utmost difficulty i make it to work & from the time im here I want to be back home. I feel breatheless too and i feel like crying also. somehow i find it so tuft, as though my life is gng away. this is my 1st pregnancy, am i over-reacting or this happens with everyone?
I do have some slight spotting, though my Dr says all is fine, a bit of hormonal change.
i also seem to have backache, may be because i contracted cough and cold as soon as i tested positive.
is pregnancy a very tough ride?

pl give some positive suggestions.
thanks!

The fatigue is totaly normal like the other gals said. I know for me I hit a wall around 1 or 2pm and I just go downhill from there. By 8pm I have a hard time even talking. I remember with my first that things got better around the 10 week mark.

Oh and when I was in a real pinch and was about to just pass out at work I would shut my office door and lay down behind my desk for like 30 minutes at lunch. That or go snooze in my car.

I hope you feel better!

It is hormonal as the other ladies said. Also make sure not to get dehydrated as this can make you feel worse.

I can relate...I agree with Misha...it's our hormones...they are all out of wack and adjusting to the life growing inside of us...Try to relax...we have a wellness room here at my job and I plan to go in there for my lunch break and just lie still for about a half hour...Are you having morning sickness? That can be a reason for the fatigue/weakness...Feel better soon!

Fellow pregnant Mommy,

Hi Radhika..
This is all common during pregnancy dear.. Mood swings are the side effects of harmonal change and when u cross another 5,6 weeks u will be fine. But dont let stress to come in..Think something positve..may b about the baby..
wat size it will b now..
wat form it'll b..
whether its a He/She..
wat to name him/her..
Think u had seen the baby while U/S scan..
So u can keep on dreaming about the sweet little pie..  :)
But here, we have to wait till our 12th week. so u r lucky dear.. :)
Remember..pregnancy s all the same for everyone..but it depends on how u handle it.
Though its tuff to cope up wid the harmonal changes, thats only for the 1st trimester.
Try doing meditation/yoga..hope u know about that. Read some books.
U wont believe..my doctor suggested even comic books which makes u happier. :)
So I have started reading Tin-Tin, Asterix and Obelix etc..
U can even read spritual books which is good for both u and the baby. Hear a lotttttt of music of your choice. I prefer plain soft instrumental like flute, veena and sitar.
As u r working..u can very well divert your mind from thinking negative.
I know its easy to advice rather than follow.. But hope it helps to uplift ur moral!!
Be cheerful.. U'll be fine soon :)
Keep posted.
