Till kids get grown and leave home. 
. Joking but about true. Itās different with each child. I had 3 the 3 one I stayed tired and sick the whole time. The first two lasted couple months and I worked with first two, I couldnāt with the 3 rd one. Everyone is different
Until around the 4th month. Months 4-7 youāll feel pretty good but those last two months will become hell again. Then you start getting up all hours of the night to go pee and because you were just uncomfortable thatās prepping you for a baby thatās going to get up every couple of hours through the night.
This one time I was in the frozen food section of my local grocery store and I was tired and my toddler was freaking out and I asked this older lady āit gets better right?ā and she said āoh honey no, it gets worseā 
so thereās that 
Happy Motherās Day and welcome to the club!!

Till they move outā¦ Lolzā¦ Really itās different for everyone. With me my only peace came the last 2 months of each pregnancy. (Ć2)
You can, now, expect to be tired for the rest of your life. There may be some seasons more tired than others, but always tired. Post Malone got the tats correct.

The first trimester you feel most tired. You get your energy back when the progesterone levels out heading into the second trimester.
The whole time Iām im my third trimester and still havenāt had that spurt of energy once
With my boys i was tired the whole time but i was extremely sick with my boys my daughter i wasnt even nauseous but for a few days and my second and third trimester i had a normal amount if energy all pregnancies are different
It honestly varies. With my son I was constantly tired the entire pregnancy. With this one I havenāt been tired like I was with my son. I have more pain so itās harder for me to do a lot of stuff Iām used to doing but I have more energy
Mine was the first halfā¦in all honesty, expect to be tired everyday after your baby is born. On the plus side eventually you get used to being tired.

Does it ever go away? I had it up to week 16. Then it became tired from extra weight. Followed by no sleep Bc baby up at night. Then baby born and no sleep for a good six months. Then toddler hood. Followed by nightmares as an elementary school student. Then not sleeping Bc worrying about them.
HAPPY MOTHERās DAY!!!
Yes it is absolutely worth it.

pregnancy gets more exhausting each day. Mine are now 17 & 16. Very involved in activities, sports & both work. I have been exhausted through every age. I have a physical job & determined to not let my exhaustion hold them back. It does get better but really depends on your lifestyle.
I had a burst of energy the day before I went into labor and cleaned everything from top to bottom, did all the laundry rearranged drawers and cabinets anything i could find to keep busy thatās how we knew the baby would soon be born,happened that way with all four of mine.up until that point I only did what I had to do to keep the household running good luck
Iām 27 weeks and Iām still going through spurts of it. It isnāt as horrible as the first trimester.

For me, that overwhelming fatigue faded around the second trimester. Maybe halfway through the pregnancy for sure.

You just learn to function on less sleep. Meaning you will always be tired, but can still do everything youāre expected as a mother. Itās worth it though.
Idk my second is over 2 years and Iām still exhausted all the time so Iām thinking maybe somewhere between never and ever.

Get used to it. It will last for the next ā¦oh rest of your life. Youāll lose sleep because theyāre little and keep u up screaming all night. Because they are 5 years old and want to sleep with u during nightmares. Because their teenagers and are driving and out with friends. Because theyāre adults and you cant fix every bad thing that happens. Because theyāre older and theyāre just not with you all the time. You will never sleep good again, and thatās ok.
