I'm 34 weeks pregnant with dc2 and I'm beyond exsusted it's really getting me down to the point I'm crying about it because I'm always tired and have no energy.

I remember being very tired when pregnant with dc1 but I'm sure it wasn't as bad.

Anyway I did have a ok nights sleep for once and waited for partner to get home at 12 i laid in bed until then and I've woken up at half past 3.

My dreams are very vivid at night time and I do get sore legs and toss and turn and find I sleep better in the day?

Anyone else?

I am 27weeks with DC3, dc1 is 2 years old and dc2 in 1 year old, I know all about feeling tired and ratty, most of the time I do cry lol, I haven't had a good nights sleep in ages or a lie in for that matter :/
my kids are very hard work, they wont let me sit down and watch telly or anything I have to be playing with them all the time!
everyone says take it easy, have a nap during the day, put your feet up have a cuppa!! well very easy said then done! so yeah for me this is normal lol,, xx

I'm 35+2 & shattered. Even putting laundry away wears me out. I find a 2 hour nap during the day is the best sleep I get Smile

I'm knackered, nearly 30 weeks. Waiting on an Ofsted inspection, four children from 14-2 years old and I've just said I'll work right up to my due date! Might have to fold and go a few days earlier.

It's awful isn't it feel for you all, but glad it's normal xx

Same here. Have 4 under 4 so am up and down at night a good bit (one cries, another needs a wee, baby looking a bottle, blah blah), husband snores, and then theres my own 2 hourly peeing and usual rigmarole to change sleeping position!!! Honest to goodness my nights are shite. A nap during the day would be soooo wonderful, kids dont allow really. Barely keeping on top of cooking and loading the dishwasher, house is a state. This baby cant come soon enough! 5 weeks to go though...

I'm a total whinge. But that was therapeutic! :-)

pinkteapots · 12/09/2014 20:51

Oh and LBNM... yeah, gets me down too. Had a low day today. I dont know what is hormones and what is tiredness. I think it probably is normal though. Sending you energy vibes and a good day tomorrow!

Yep - 31 weeks with a 3yo ans working full time. Totally and unreasonably knackered. Not sure how Im going to cope with the 7 weeks I have left at work. Sad

LBNM19 · 12/09/2014 23:08

Gosh I can't imagine having 4 under 4! Must be hard work. Thanks pinkteapots you to.

Ecuse really feel for you it's hard especially still having to go to work xx

38 wks on Sunday and nighttime sleep's been awful, been up for last two hours having finally given up in dropping off. Constant weeing, baby moving, ache-ing legs. And no prospect of a lie in thanks to dc1. The thing is, while I'm hoping for an on-time birth, I'm dreading the slightly different form of sleep torture that newborns bring, the birth, the recovery from the birth and the unhelpful visitors...

LBNM19 · 13/09/2014 11:17

Oh I no, I hardly slept last night just can't get comfortable.

I was tired when dc1 was born but I still felt better in myself. Depends how good baby is I suppose xx

Bloody heartburn

God, yes! I am 33 weeks tomorrow, waking up all through the night and getting up in the morning feeling more tired than when I went to bed. The way my shifts have been mean I haven't had to go to work since Tuesday, but will be doing 13hr shifts alternate days from tomorrow for a week with a 12hr nightshift next weekend. It takes me more than one day to recover from a shift so may have dropped dead from exhaustion by then. I feel terrible too, because I have no energy or inclination to do stuff with 3yr old DD. We haven't really done anything today except go to the library. I was going to take her to the park this afternoon, but DH made me have a nap instead (I now feel worse as usual after a nap, I feel better if I just keep going). Sadly for DD, I don't suppose the exhaustion is going to get any better for a long time once we have the baby to keep me awake all night.
