What does pregnancy fatigue feel like?

I'm 16 days late. I took a test when I was 8 days late but it was negative. I assumed that it was accurate. I have no symptoms such as, sore breasts or vomiting. But I am tired alot so I'm wondering if any one can tell me what exactly pregnancy fatigue feels like. I know that might sound dumb but I can't tell if what I'm feeling is a symptom or if I'm simply tired from the day. Basically When I wake up I feel tired and sluggish all morning long. Like all I can think about is getting home to take a nap. I take a nap when I get home and seem to feel much better for a while. But then around 9:30 pm I all of a sudden get extrmemely tired out of no where! Normally it's a gradual process but latley it just hits me like a ton of bricks. Where I have to go to sleep right then and there. And it feels like the kind of tired you get when your sick. where you just don't want to move. But as tired as I am at night I am having the toughest time going to sleep. It was awful last night. I was so uncomfortable I couldn't fall alseep but I was soooooo tired that I started crying. Then I started getting angry and bitchy with my BF. It was like I wanted to sleep soooo bad it hurt. I don't know maybe I'm just a crazy lady.

It feels just like the name inplies. You are tired all the time. Take another test.

Are you peeing alot? I had no idea I was pregnant. I thought I had a urinary tract infection or something, because I was going to the bathroom every 45-60 minutes and it was driving me crazy.

Now after I tested positive, then I realized that I had been having other symptoms such as fatigue, constipation, greasy hair just a few hours after I washed it, tender breasts, and a couple of times I snapped at my husband and then started crying for absolutely no reason.

So I'm kind of slow at catching on.... LOL But those are some of the other symptoms you could look for.

i didnt find out till i was 7 weeks along. i was sooooo tired (still am) all the time, my breast were killing me and i just didnt feel good. i took 3 test and they all came back negitive. then i spotted..i was dissapointed. my doctors app was the next day and i took the test and it came back positive. if u still come up negative after u take more tests, and u still havent gotten ur period, go to the doc or the health dep! good luck!  

I started having symtoms before I even missed my period. I thought it was because I had just quit taking the pill and my hormones were screwed up. They were, I was pregnant! Fatigue is exactly that. No matter what, you feel like you didn't sleep enough. Try taking another test or having one done at your Dr. You might just be stressing yourself out too about wondering if your pregnant and stress can cause fatigue too. My little brother's girlfriend thought she was pregnant cause her period was 3 weeks late, and low and behold, it showed up. I would just take another test.

It feels like you can't go through the day without a nap or you'll just keel over. That was the only symptom I had for quite a few weeks and it started right after a vacation so I thought it was jet lag.

With my first pregnancy thats how my sleep schedule was. I came home from work slept then was in bed asleep by 9

I took a home test and it came up negative, but than I was tired all the time, I didnt get my period, my breasts were beyond sore. So two weeks later I went to my mom's work (Hospital) and she did one of their testes and it came up posetive. The fatigue is the worst! I cant wake up in the morning, I take multiple naps during the day...the worst part, I cant get to sleep until after 4am every night...I have to cut back on the naps but I kinda cant help it, I just fall asleep.

I HAD THE SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS!!! I HAVE BEEN TAKING PREGNANCY TESTS FOR ABOUT A MONTH NOW...AND I HAVE BEEN GETTING THEM FROM WAL-MART....JUST ANY OF THEM...SOME DIDNT SHOW ANY RESULTS AT ALL....SO I WENT TO THE DOLLAR GENERAL GOT THE $1 TEST...(WHICH IS JUST LIKE THEY USE AT THE DOCTOR, PEE IN A CUP...ECT)....AND IT WAS POSITIVE.....I WENT TO THE DOCTOR THIS PAST TUESDAY AND FOUND OUT THAT I AM 6 WEEKS PREGNANT... SO DONT GIVE UP!!! THERE IS HOPE IN THE CHEAP TESTS!! LOL

what does the tired feeling feel like and what did your tummy feel like?

I felt like I just could drag my butt out of bed.. and hadn't slept for days... but I had bad fatigue. My stomach for me was fine, I never got morning sickness... sometimes felt a little queasy, but never sick. I noticed I was eating more than usual.

We're you also bloated and did you have breast pains. I'm on the borderline of underweight so I don't get my period but I think I started ovulating not long ago (mucus and stuff) which is why I'm not sure If I'm preg but like I have so many of the symptoms :/

I keep waking up super early...did you have that? And then eating then falling asleep again (in not confirmed preg or anything, I don't think I am but iunno)

I did bloat, and did get sensitive breasts... especially from being touched... even wearing a bra. I was very small too when I got pregnant... darn near underweight.
