Am posting here as am interested in the pol result, as figures speak truer than comments (although I am very interested in these too!).
I am 7 months pregnant, with a part time office job Mondays and Tuesdays and a gorgeous two year old I look after the rest of the time. I don't want to complain as I love my life, but atm I am just SO KNACKERED and am beginning to wonder if it's normal and what other women managed to do at this stage in pregnancy?? I'm lucky (and touch wood!) I haven't had any particular pregnancy illnesses, except borderline anaemic (taking iron pills) with an enormous bump measuring 5 weeks ahead (GTT was fine).
Today was a pretty average day. Other than the usual feeding / changing of toddler, I did some painting with him and bathed him afterwards. I did three loads of laundry (just wash machine and tumble dry, nothing strenuous), cleared kitchen, went for a big shop and put it away, cleared kitchen, made dinner, cleaned out rabbits, hoovered through downstairs, cleared up painty messes. But am just so tired I had to stop for a cry midafternoon (away from toddler obviously), which I know is ridiculous. It feels like every, single time I have to move it's such a massive effort I don't know whether I'll manage it. I just feel so guilty and shitty about all the endless stuff that isn't getting done at hom, as well as toddler having more screen time than I would like, when I feel he deserves a "proper" main carer with all the energy and enthusiasm in the world to give him. I just can't seem to muster any more energy for doing a single other thing and am wondering if it's time to worry - will check with midwife too when I see her next week but interested in other women's experiences.
So please let me know from your experience;
YABU - You're doing a normal amount of stuff and shouldn't be feeling so tired (the tiredness is unusual)
YANBU - It's normal to feel this tired later in pregnancy, there's nothing to worry about (the tiredness is normal)
