On and off days second trimester

[lozzy1982]

Hiya,
So im just shy of 17 weeks today and ive felt fab the last few days. Really thought i had turned my first trimester ickyness corner. Today however it seems my 1st tri days are back with avengence. Feel drained, exhausted, cant be bothered with anything or anyone, and even my fingers ache! We are in thr middle of decorating and i feel so ridiculousy depressed about the state of the room. Little things are making me so anxious and frustrated! Anyone else having the 2nd tri off days? Thought we were meant to be glowing by now!!!!

I was SO tired 1st tri (no sickness just exhaustion) and it's been back these last 2 weeks again (I'm 22 weeks), it's an effort to do anything!

I'm 16 weeks. Totally get what you are saying.

Hi Lozzy

I was still really tired and had a my fair share of rubbishy days up until about 21/22 weeks. I'm 25 weeks now and feeling less tired although I still have the odd off-day which I think is to be expected. Your body is very busy baking a baby, try to take it easy! There's plenty of time to get the decorating done (my DH is replastering the nursery this weekend so I share your frustration!).

I was also knocked out by the first trimester (no real sickness - just a three month long hangover) and although I do feel a lot better now, I am still tired a lot. I've taken to heading to bed at the same time as my son (around 9.30pm) and that has helped a lot as my sleeping has become a bit unsettled which is probably why I'm still feeling poleaxed now and again.
