Pregnant with DC2 at 22wks now. Definitely a whole lot better than first trimester (terrible nausea, exhaustion and general feeling rough) but now although I don't feel Ill / sick I still feel really tired pretty much every day at some point, usually late afternoon. I sleep well although only 8 hours normally as can't fit anymore in! DD1 is almost 3, at nursery every morning and a couple of afternoons but I do all pick up and drop offs plus I work 3 days a week in an office based sat down job (quite low stress)
Is it normal to feel tired at this level? First pregnancy I was full of beans this time I just want to lie on sofa and let DD watch TV which I feel awful about but can hardly keep eyes open.
Any tips? Did wonder if I should get iron levels tested or anything. Diet is not bad, eat quite a lot of protein and probably 6-8 pieces of veg / fruit a day but maybe not paying a huge amount of attention to it and should be!
Can't imagine what third trimester will be like at this rate!
