Yes for me everything was doubled. Double the morning sickeness, double the fatigue, double the nighttime bathroom trips, double the reflux... you get the idea.
It should ease up a little for you soon, the further into my 2nd trimester I got the better I felt.

Hope you feel better soon!

I only had my one pregnancy, and nothing to compare it to. But that first trimester (even into the second trimester) was a doosey for me. I was exhausted. I just physically had zero strength to do ANYTHING other than come home from work and sleep. It started to ease up around 16-18 weeks when my morning sickness ended as well.

Hang in there.

 

You should feel better soon, the second trimester has treated me well so far, I am just lazy.

After about 15 weeks I felt a LOT better. I didn't feel the urge for naps during the day like I did in the first trimester. I felt like I was hit by a truck during that time. I really think it will get better for you - hang in there.

Of course, now I'm at 20 weeks and starting to get pretty big - so you trade one thing for another. BUT - double the blessing right?

 

This is my second pregnancy and I was much more exhausted this time around than with my first. I'm wondering if it's partly because I'm chasing a 3yo around now too...

Good news is just in the last week or so I can finally stay awake a little bit after we put DD down.

This is my first as well so i have no comparison, but - I absolutely felt like i was hit by a truck; in addition to the constant m/s, I would fall into what i called "mini-comas"; where i had to lie down for two hours at a time!

It should pass - and, as a pp said, then you'll get big and REALLY tired from dragging all that weight in front of your body around!
