High energy pregnancy now 39 wks and want to lie down/sleep all the time

[sedgiebaby]

First baby so wondering if this is normal, I thought to expect an extra burst of energy near the end! I havent been tired much throughout the pregnancy as I had expected, except a bit for the first trimester.

Just lately, as soon as i get up I want to go back to bed again. I feel ill-like-I-have-the-flu-tired. I get up to eat only to want to lie down again. Is this quite normal?

I had this last week (39 weeks). Was getting up at 10am feeling like a coma victim with a hangover- all thick headed and fuzzy. Feel a lot better this week now I'm 2 days off due date (hope it's a sign!!)

I found lots of water and some light exercise helped a lot.

Thanks! yes I feel just as you descibe...wish you all the best too :)

Snap, me too! Don't know where the energty is supposed to come from to do all this "nesting"...
