Fatigue in second trimester?

[Kaylabobs101]

Hi all,

I suffered from really bad fatigue in first trimester, I have had a bit of a lull the last few weeks ( I'm currently 23rd weeks pregnant) where i've felt like my old self and its been fantastic! but now my fatigue is back with a bang! just wondering if anyone has suffered through the second trimster with this level of exhaustion?

First pregnancy I got my energy back for the second trimester but this time I haven’t.

It’s worth getting your iron levels checked out.

I’m 21 weeks and today my fatigue has hit me full force! Just like being back in the first trimester. Beginning to think the 2nd trimester energy is a myth!! Hope you feel more like your old self again soon xx

I'm 14+4 and haven't regained my energy yet lol.

I think I was just overly optimistic that the second trimester really would be the 'honeymoon phase' and all my fatigue would disapper, how wrong was I lol?

I'm 20 weeks and knackered! My bump seems to be expanding rapidly so maybe baby is doing some fast growing and using up all my resources?

Back to mega early bedtimes

Oh my god I couldn’t keep myself awake in the second trimester. Every afternoon I’d fall asleep for about 3 hours (I work from home) and it wouldn’t affect my sleep at night at all! I was convinced I must have had GD or a thyroid problem or anaemia, but I got tested for all 3 and I was all clear. I’m 34 weeks now and I don’t think I’ve day-napped for more than a month.

In my first pregnancy my fatigue was definitely worse in the second trimester. I was practically falling asleep at my desk come 3pm every day and would fall asleep on the sofa come 7pm quite often.

And I'm not a big sleeper or napper so it's unusual for me!

Eek I'm 13 weeks and was hoping it might improve soon 😬
