I’ve been struggling with severe fatigue for weeks now, paired with super low motivation. Sleeping 8-10 hours nightly and napping for several more. It’s really been bringing me down. Last week I finally gave in and did nothing all week (outside of work of course lol). I didn’t pressure myself to get my runs in. I didn’t do strength training either. I just rested a LOT. Today I actually had the energy and desire for a walk! Nothing crazy, just 30 minutes on the walking pad, but it made me feel so much better. I realize I definitely need to give myself more grace because even at rest my body’s doing a lot 😂 I hope everyone else is allowing themself the same!

Let me preface this by saying I DO NOT want to be nauseous but it’s sort of crazy that I keep hearing about other pregnant women with insane nausea…. And I’m just exhausted. Like completely gassed even after 9-10 hours of sleep. I have zero motivation to do anything. I need daily naps. I only get rare nausea if I haven’t eaten in a few hours. I’m almost 8 weeks with twins (first pregnancy) and it’s like I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop. 😅 Anyone else have this experience with their twin pregnancy? Again, not complaining just feeling wary like it’s too good to be true because I don’t think I could handle nausea on top of this horrible fatigue! (Which already has me feeling like an absolute bum as it is lol)

I’ve heard varying opinions on baby list since you have to go back and click “purchased” and not everyone does that. I’ve never had to make a registry before lol so would love to hear which one is easiest to use!

Hello everyone! I’m going to an imaging center tomorrow (not a boutique place) for a TVUS. I really just want to see a heartbeat before announcing to fam this weekend but the last two nights I’ve had bad dreams about not seeing anything. 🥹 My last hcg was 26,225 at 5w3d which I think is reassuring… but I was just wondering what you were able to see at such an early stage? I know the heart likely just started beating but I’ve also seen where women weren’t able to see that at this stage. Trying to set my own expectations. My dating is based off ovulation around 4/3 (with OPKs, Inito, and temping) since I ovulated late and the start of my LMP was 3/15. Thanks in advance everyone 🫶🏼 Just feeling anxious about a lot.

10DPO (3w3d): 24

12DPO (3w5d): 84

14DPO (4w): 412

24DPO (5w3d): 26,225

Specifically, it’s helping my nerves while I wait for my first ultrasound haha. I’m 5 weeks and 4 days today. I had spotting the first few days (like 9-11DPO) which has since resolved but I’m still anxious to see the baby’s heartbeat. Here’s to hoping time passes and I have a healthy pregnancy 🤞🏼🤍🤍
