18+3 and shattered.

[ladymalfoy]

Any one else still tired after a solid eight hours of sleep? Had brunch now tired all over again. Ready to drop off so back in bed. Feel guilty as well as DH is painting and tidying. I've got no energy.

I'm 34 weeks and I never wake up feeling refreshed and ready for the day. I nap when I can and try to get to bed early. But otherwise, I have just assumed its par for the course. I also get the guilt when DP is busy and I'm lying on the sofa asking him to pass me stuff because it hurts to reach forwards or bend down :( (big dose of self-pity!!) I think we have to remind ourselves that we are growing and carrying around a human being and that's hard work in itself.

Yes, me too I'm 17+5. I want a nap but have DS1 (6) and DS2 (4) home for the holidays so we're off to the park - I could cry.

Phew. That's a relief. Got piles of washing to put away but can't be arsed. Lying down and resting feels so much better. I could sleep for a week!

I have been really ill all the way through pregnancy. I am now 17+4 and I still wake up tired and normally in bed by 7.30 writing this whilst in bed, this is a late one for me. Infractions can't remember last time I didn't feel tired

21 weeks here, and wondering where my promised second-trimester energy burst is! I got up at 9.30 this morning, laid around for a bit before going out to run a few (non-taxing) errands. Got home, and had a 2 hour nap. On days where i'm working, I could cry by mid-afternoon i'm so tired. It's actually much worse than the first trimester!

17w here and still waiting for that second trimester energy burst! I feel energetic from waking up to lunch time. Once I have lunch I just want to nap and by evening my eyes are aching and the bloating comes back.

In bed by 8.30pm...when will this stop?

23 weeks pregnant with a 16 month old who DOESN'T SLEEP.

Last night I totalled a block of 2 hours and another of 55 minutes and then she was up for the day at 4:30am.

I'm so tired my hair hurts.

18 weeks here, did have an energy boost for a few weeks and now feeling so tired. At 3pm this avo after lunch I could have slept (if it wasn't for 4yo I had to look after) and again I'm yawning away. DESPERATE for a coffee but then the guilt sets in if I drink too much...

Oh gosh - so glad it isn't just me! I'm 19 weeks and like others have been waiting for the fantastic second trimester of feeling energised etc. It hasn't happened. I work for myself and from home, but am so busy! I can just about get to 2.30pm / 3pm each day before having to slope off for a nap - and that is after a later and later start to the day and early nights! Growing another human is seriously tiring... and I share your pain! :(

If ONE MORE person says to me, 'oh second trimester, you must be full of beans/loving the energy' I will not be responsible for my actions. And I reckon I could convince a jury of that too.
Yes to tiredness. Making it through the day and heaving large self into bed early. Don't get me wrong, love growing a person, just wish everyone else wasn't under the impression that it was easy!

I can't get comfy coz of my lower back. I'm only comfy lying down or with my feet up. I want a nest with a radio and chargers for my iPad and kindle. A pregnancy pod.

So glad it's not just me!! I'm 18+2 with my first and have no energy for anything. I have constant pelvic pain (my hips/pelvis are bad at the best of times though!) and just about get through each day by sitting around or lying down! I keep thinking if I did more (walking the dog or working with the horses) then I'd have more energy but I just can't face it. Luckily my husband is brilliant and looking after most things for me but I feel guilty for it!!
