    I'm almost 11 weeks and I know I'm still in that first trimester nausea, fatigue, etc.. but oh my goodness I am so exhausted. I don't remember being this tired with the twins. I honestly don't remember when the tiredness got better or if it did with them. I don't know if it's because I'm chasing after almost 10 month old twins or just being preggo but I seriously just can barely keep my eyes open all day and I'm ready for bed by 7pm. I went to bed last night at 8:30 and the babies actually slept till 7am (a full 12 hrs nonstop woo hoo!!) so I got a decent amount of sleep but I am just done for again. Wondering if you ladies were more tired this time around having twins to care for and when or does it get better? :) Thanks!

    Around 15 weeks is when I felt better, both the nausea and the fatigue. But my girls are 5, not nearly as much work to take care of anymore!

    I was MUCH more tired with this baby than the twins ( I also think it was because I now have 2 others to care for) I had MUCH worse morning sickness this time too (but again I wasnt changing 2x the poopy diapers when I was prego for them). Unfortunately I didnt start feeling better until 15-16 weeks as well.
    I took 2 naps a day with the twins and slept the whole time they slept at night too. It was all I could do to function.
    It will get better though- look at me now Im up at 11pm typing to you :)

    LOL Up at 11pm does seem far fetched right now!!! :) Well glad to know it does get better eventually. With the twins I felt that 2nd trimester "goodness" for like 2 weeks before the exhaustion from being so big set it. LOL SO I didn't know if it actually stays better for awhile. It'd be nice to be able to stay awake and watch a movie or something after they go to bed. My hubby leaves for the Army in a couple weeks so once he leaves I'll probably start going to bed right after the twins (of course by then I'll probably start feeling better :rolleyes: ). Anyway - thank you ladies! I thought my nausea was getting a bit better 2 days ago but yesterday it came back with a vengeance and is definitely here today. Ah well makes me feel better that everything is ok.

    I am exactly as far along as you, and I noticed that I started to have noticeably more energy in the last few days. So I guess, there is hope!

    I am in the same boat! I will say that is has gotten better now that the nausea has gone away. It really hits me at about 8pm, after picking up the boys from school, making dinner, and cleaning a room or two in the house, I am wiped out.

    Ok, I'm really early, but I'm less tired, which is crazy because I have the world's two most active toddlers. But the morning sickness has been like night and day. With twins, I felt like crap and threw up 3-4 times a day from month 2-3, and about once a day in months 4-5. Last time, I didn't even feel like getting out of bed some days.
