Anyone else crippled with exhaustion?

[Slickbird]

I need to know this just isn't me!!! I have three (I know, lame compared to many of you - - and hat's off to you!. My eldest DD is 8 yrs, then I have a DD who is 20 months and then a DS who is nearly 10 weeks old. I am finding it really exhausting, but moreso, my bones and muscles ache all over from all the constant bending, lifting and being on my feet for 14+ a day. My hands and wrists are particularly bad at the moment and I'm just wondering if anyone else suffered this to start with and that it will get better? I feel it's because I had two pregancies close together, where I was unable to keep fit due to SPD and terrible sickness amongst other things. I think my body is just struggling to cope with the physical graft of it all. (btw, I'm 36 so, not as young as I used to be!!)

Anyone? Anyone?

Thanks.

lol Frank thats what worries me too! if i ever have a nap i always make sure i set the alarm on my phone so i know i'll wake up in time

instead i've just spent an hour on the wii fit, much to the delight of DS2 and DS3 they couldn't stop laughing although once they stopped they did start cheering me on

Oh, I love the day time naps if I can get them. I'm trying to get the wee ones naps to coincide for longer than half an hour so that I can go to bed too!

Re the aching joints - had this after ds3 and apparently it is a common post pregnancy thing and is due to the hormones. Google aching joints after giving birth. My feet used to feel quite swollen when I first got up. Disappeared after a few months though.
