Is it normal to start feeling exhausted again around 24 weeks??

[Babylovesmuffins]

I felt completely shattered the whole way through the first 14 weeks of pg and then got loads of energy (was able to stay awake past 8.30pm!!).

Now I'm really struggling to get up in the mornings and having to go to bed earlier at night again. Is this the start of the third trimester tiredness that people talk about??!! If so, I don't know if I'll be able to work up to 35 weeks as planned

Zzzzz....

I am 23 weeks and have been completely shattered the last two weeks or so. I think the baby is having a growth spurt as my bump has doubled in size and also there's been loads of kicking! I was planning to work till 37 weeks and also don't know how I will cope especially if there's a heatwave this summer and my office air conditioning isn't fixed by then...

Good to know I'm not alone!! My bump has also ballooned this week (in fact since I left home this morning!!) The baby has also been doing a huge amount of kicking over the last week which is fun!!

Not looking forward to commuting by bus everyday during the hot summer months (and we don't have air-con at work!!!!)

Moan, moan, moan...

Yes, absolutely! The first trimester is hard, the second is fantastic and the third (which you're heading for) is hard again. I was so exhausted last time. I had one day in each of the first and third trimester when I had to ring dh and tell him he had to travel home with me as I felt so rotten... I managed to work up until 38 weeks. Just take it a day at a time...
