2nd trimester extreme fatigue and headaches

[SummerOfLadybirds]

Everyone says this is supposed to be the 'golden trimester' but I just want to sleep all the time! Im 21+3.
On meds for heartburn (ranitidine 2x day) and cyclizine 3x day for nausea and vomiting. Sickness has improved, only vomiting 1-2x day now although still get bad nausea at times.

Last few weeks I just feel so tired and drained. I can sleep for hours in day then still be ready for bed by 10pm. Have been off work with sickness since week 10, don't feel ready to go back yet. Iron levels were fine when checked at 14weeks.

anyone else feeling like this?

Hi. I'm 20 wks. Am exact same but was off work from 6wks. Returned for 4 hrs per day at 17wks. I feel so fed up. I'm still vomiting but its better it's the extreme fatigue that's bothering me. I'm useless and to be honest it's starting to affect my mental health. I'm also getting weekly migraines. Just feel so utterly useless as a mother, wife and employee.

Hi.
I am 17 weeks.Although not suffered from sickness I work long hrs with children and have been signed off 2 weeks as ai am mentally and physically exhausted.I have been off a few days but still am very tired even after doing a simple thing like cooking tea.I was hoping to go back before 2 weeks but dunno.I think the useless and low feelings we feel are due to hormones and tiredness as its a happy time but feel guilty because you feel so rubbish.Some how have to not feel that guilt and try and do little happy things and think how amazing it will be to have a baby.I am also thinking of taking maternity leave at earliest I can.Dunno if thats an option.Stay strrong rest and think positive :) x

I hear you with the headaches and extreme tiredness Summer! I am more tired in this second trimester than I was in the first! All my gp has said about the headaches is paracetamol which is as good as taking a tictac!

I have been lucky enough to have no morning sickness though so for you with that
