Pregnancy: F is for Fatigue

F is for Fatigue. Early in pregnancy, the first trimester, I could not get enough sleep. Sleep was wonderful to distract me from the morning sickness. Second trimester was a blur of busyness and energy, though there were those days when I came home from my internship at 2 and immediately took a nap.

During this third trimester I'm less tired than in the first, but I tend to get up, eat, and go back to sleep. If I don't do that, then at about 4 or 5 PM I'm desperate to lay down. This could have something to do with the Texas heat.

Paired with this fatigue is an inability to sleep at night. It's like I'm an infant. I don't want to sleep at night, I want to nap during the day, and I want to eat every couple of hours. Oh, and I pee often.
