24 weeks, pale, tired and lok like death and I've gone past the "bloom" stage?!?!

[shouldIbecrossaboutthis]

Is this just what happens? I just look really really ill and makeup is not helping. It's been the last 2 weeks really, I'm really pale, have dark circles under my eyes and very sleepy (slept for 13 hours every day for last 4 days). Should I try eating more iron heavy foods or suck it up as being pregnant?!

Nope, sounds like either anaemia or post-viral fatigue, were you ill prior to feeling this way? Try taking spatone for iron, it is really gentle on the stomach and get yourself a blood test.

Not sure but I'm also 24 weeks and have not had a 'bloom' at all. Been stressful time at work during the time that I should be 'blooming'. Been off this week and have literally done nothing except rest and sleep and I'm still feeling exhausted. Rubbish!

thanks for the replies, ZhenThereWereTwo nope not been ill, think I vomitted up any bugs that might have dared to try something on ;) I will get some spatone tomorrow see if it helps. My supplement has 121% RDA of iron though so I'm probably not anaemic?

sparklekitty, poor you not having a blooming phase either, here's hoping our babies will be angel babies to compensate us!
