Exhausted at only 19 weeks - normal?

I am just so tired.

Pregnant with DC2. DD1 is 18 months and generally wakes once at night on a good night, wants in with us on a bad. (So not ideal!)

I don't sleep well now anyway, tossing and turning so even if DD sleeps through I don't!

I work 4 days a week. Office job, only a half hour commute.

Any tips? I just had a week off so can't use any more holiday up. Both nights this weekend I've been in bed at 9pm.

Iron was ok at 10 weeks. Should I ask to be tested again before 28 weeks?

Which reminds me to go take my vitamins...

At this rate I will want to go on ML at the first chance I get. However I found last time I need at least 8 months afterwards to ensure my baby is established enough on solids to be left with their milk supply all day. That means I need to wait until 36 weeks at the earliest really.

I'm afraid you're going to be tired all through pregnancy, and even more tired for several years afterwards!
You get used to it though.
