24+2 and exhausted all the time literally falling asleep at the drop of a hat, going up stairs even seems to mean I need to sit down and rest I literally feel like I've zero energy. Anyone feel like this?
Mum thinks I need iron testing.

I feel/felt the same. I'm now nearly 28 weeks....had an iron test and mine is fine. But could be worth you having one done. You should be seeing the midwife soon (?) Ask her then. Are you taking supplements? Vitamins? No real practical advice....just wanted you to know you're not alone. I'm still shattered and very breathless too.....hoping it gets better. Hmm

I'm 25 weeks and feel the same. Just bought some liquid iron as I became anaemic in my last pregnancy so thought it may be that. Can't hurt to get some.

Glad I'm not the only one, I don't remember feeling like this with my dd. Mind you I'm juggling a lot more now between her and work!
Seeing the midwife at 28weeks so might ring drs and see if I can get a blood test with the nurse just to check iron and will look to get the liquid iron.
Thanks ladies and good luck with your babies xxx

Get your iron levels checked anyway but it is normal to feel like that I think I feel the same Sad everything is such an effort!

24+4 permanently exhausted. I do have low iron levels and take tablets for it. Deffo worth checking.
