Drained!!!

[Ry1994]

Hi, just wondering if there is anyone else that is constantly feeling drained and tired feel like I've been drugged up am 35+1 day I was never this tired with my first, feel as am fighting to stay awake! waking up in the morning and not feeling as I've slept at all! It's becoming a struggle now. Has anyone else felt like this? Is there not anything I can do for it?

When were your iron levels last checked? I feel like this at 35 weeks but have extremely low iron.

Have you had a blood test recently? You may be anaemic. I've suffered with exhaustion with both of my pregnancies. I was diagnosed with anaemia at 32 weeks, I feel better since I've been taking iron (obviously still tired though as 35 weeks!)

I did, although I had quite an active job. Since I stopped work and have been able to have a nap in the afternoons I’ve found it much easier.
