extreme tiredness and feeling low at 17 weeks.

[SnowWhite26]

Is anyone else feeling the above? Im really struggling at work and am emotional reck.I no it will only get worse the more pregnant i get.im so happy about being pregnant but so down.Anyone else?x

I am 13 weeks with my second child and I too am struggling. Most days I am fine but I will have some days where I feel low. I could quite easily burst into tears at the drop of a hat. I wasn't like this with my first child so getting my head around it all.

When I am feeling low I will think about whether I will manage when the baby arrives. I have to tell myself that it's just pregnancy hormones and there is nothing to worry about.

Thanks.Nice to no im not the only exhausted pregnant person especially when working full time x

I'm 18 weeks with my second and last week I was EXACTLY the same. I was so down and felt totally miserable about how badly I looked/felt/was going to cope.

I'm feeling a bit better this week- although I'm still really sensitive and cry at the drop of a hat! Generally happy tears at cute things my DS has done!

I think it must be hormonal as I do feel much more normal this week but don't know what the rest of this pregnancy holds!

Hope you feel better soon and if it doesn't, talk to your midwife.

Thanks :) i just want to shake it coz im quite down and feel sad but im not if you get me.I am taking it easy today but then I worry about tomoz.I am sorry you felt like this.I cant imagine having a little one as well as feeling this way.I work with small children and thats tiring and emotional enough x

Oh snow I can't imagine how you are working feeling like this (although vague memories of when I was working when pregnant with DC1)

Taking it easy sounds like a good plan. I think rest and looking after yourself is the key.

I've get anaemia in pregnancy and that wipes me out. I hadn't made the connection but just this week I started to take Spatone again. It might be worth checking with your midwife and getting her to double check your bloods, just in case.

Congratulations on your pregnancy and feel better.

I think ill go to the docs if it carries on.Thankyou so much gor your comment x
