Unsociable!!

[zoe1090]

Anyone else find tiredness overwhelming in pregnancy and find they have to change plans ?
I work 12.5 hour shifts and just know longer feel I make social plans the night before a shift feel like I'm letting people down and they think I'm just being weak when I say I want to rest the night before a shift .. but it's not them that has to spend 07-45-20-15 at work the next day. I'm 24 weeks and still feeling tired / sick / hungover anyone else ?

It's completely overwhelming. I have to do the same and I only work 9-5.30. But anyone with an ounce of empathy should be able to understand that you aren't up to socializing before a 12.5 hour shift. Hell, I'd probably feel that way if I wasn't pregnant...

I only work part time and i am utterly and completely exhausted! There is no energy left for anything fun; just work and looking after my son/ the house, then bed!! You look after you during this time, don’t worry about other people. Best of luck.

I’m 27 weeks and also work 12.5 hour shifts and do 42 hours a week. I don’t fancy doing anything any evening of the week let alone after work or the evening before

Sorry managed to post too soon. I dread the evenings before going to work and am really grouchy. May be because I know I am going to be on my feet all day so would rather sit on my arse or relax in the bath. It’s tough going

I remember with my last pregnancy being so exhausted I fell asleep at my friend's house during a girl's night in. Could barely contribute to any conversation I was so so tired. Totally normal!

I’m heading in to 20 weeks and feel tired :-/ I feel guilty for it though because before pregnancy I was not like this! I’ve got a lot of energy back but still not what I was before. I’ve just been doing as much as I can during spurts of energy and just trying to exercise and eat as heathy as possible etc etc. Don’t blame you for not organising things, it’s tiresome growing a human being!

Totally normal can just about do my job, look after my other kids and home. There is no energy for anything else. Manage to get the kids through their bedtime routine and then collapse. I think there is a lack of understanding about how exhausting pregnancy is even my female relatives, some of whom have been through pregnancy themselves kind of forget and want you to maintain the same social activity you might be able to manage pre pregnancy.
