Struggling already

[meel]

I’m seriously beginning to worry how I’m going to cope in the third trimester, I’m currently nearly 22 weeks and I’m on my knees.

I am absolutely exhausted. I’ve been resting resting resting constantly, yet my whole body feels heavy with tiredness. Headaches too but they are on and off, not continuous. I’m struggling to walk very far too. I’m not in pain, just really achey and exhausted.

I’m supposed to start back at work next week after the summer holidays and I am dreading it. I want to just finish now. We don’t need the money from my job really so I don’t know how I will find the motivation to keep going.

I’m sorry to whinge, but I’m just starting to get really fed up

You poor thing! Have you asked your midwife for help? It might be worth getting your iron and thyroid levels checked.

Go to your docs and get yourself a sick note,pregnancy tiredness is absolutely another level! I’m 37+1 and I’m exhausted now xx

Make sure you get checked at doctors or midwife - should check you're not angelic or u deracrive thyroid z

It doesn't matter if you're angelic or not! Lol

Im18 weeks but feel exactly the same, like I'm 8 months pregnant instead of four! I am shattered. Putting it down to age (I'm 38) but don't remember it being like this the first time. Had midwife appt last week but they didn't do bloods, I don't know if I need to go back and have some done...

My next midwife appointment is in two weeks so I will mention it then. I just feel so down and dreading work! I’m exhausted and yet can’t sleep at the same time.

I'm on my 5th pregnancy, 22wks, my energy levels and pretty Nil, I do get the odd spurt of energy but it's quite rare, got four other children and all I want to do now is sleep, n be left alone. I'm also struggling to sleep at a lot as well which won't be helping, waking up for toilet, or generally not being able to sleep, your not alone.

Talk to your partner/hubby about the work situation, if your not upto it don't force it.

All the best

It’s hard isn’t it! DH doesn’t care when I finish, so maybe I will see how I feel when I go back this week and just finish early if it’s too much.

It’s horrible. Wish I was one of those glowing pregnant women.
