3rd trimester and extreme fatigue

[MrsGiraffe12]

Hi ladies.
I was wondering if any of you were in the same position as me really and if you could offer any advice.

I'm 30+3 with DC2, my eldest is almost 6 and at full time school. For the last few weeks I've felt so exhausted, like someone had run me over with a truck. I sleep around 10 hours a night but need a nap in the day around an hour or 2 long.
And if I don't get that nap I feel so tired I feel dizzy and sick.

I work 3 shifts a week, all 6 hours long in a food establishment, all with 5am wake up calls. I had my 28 week bloods taken but haven't heard anything back so I assume they were all normal.
Have been taking the pregnacare plus tablets from BFP so know I've extra iron in me anyways. And I also drink plenty of water so and pretty sure it's not dehydration!

Any advice on the tiredness? And anyone else suffering with this too? Is it worth a mention to my midwife x

Yup... 31 weeks and can't get enough sleep! No advice other than making sure you keep cool.

I would mention the tiredness to your MW, I chased up my 28 week blood results with my MW and it turned out that she had not had them back but had been so busy that she had not remembered to chase them up. As it happened my bloods were fine (I was worried about iron levels) but it's worth chasing.

Try spatone. I've been taking the pregnacare too but but not enough iron. Spatone changed my life!

I'm the opposite, can't sleep, can't get comfy, am way too hot. 31+2 today. Ready for this to be OVER.

Same here. Had about two weeks of feeling awake and energetic after taking Spatone but now at 30 weeks I am hopelessly exhausted again. My hand and feet are so swollen and I'm very uncomfortable.
All is well with me and baby though. We are in the final stretch =)

Thanks to those who replied. It's just so hard being this pregnant when it's this hot and the tiredness makes it worse! Urgh, less than 10 weeks will I meet my baby. Will definitely chase bloods up with midwife though to double check x
