pregnant with DD2 & 21 weeks. the last few days I've been getting loads of sleep at night but everytime I sit down I literalky can't keep my eyes open. I know people get tired in the first trimester & in the last few weeks - has anyone else suddenly been hit with it at this stage? been fine up until now!?! have even been taking my iron tablets!!!!

I get random weeks like that then go back to a normal level of tiredness - I had the same last pregnancy and never had problems either time with iron levels (currently 31 weeks with DC2) so I presume its just when baby has a growth spurt :)

Iron?

I'm 25wks with dc2 and also feel knackered recently. Wasn't especially tired in first trimester - not that I noticed above the sickness anyway. It doesn't help that my delightful 2.4yo has taken to spending half the night in our bed... I fell asleep on the sofa while he watched tv this morning. Don't think he was impressed, but I told him he should sleep In his own bed then!

Don't forget all the Christmas build up and hype can take its toll too.
