Totally exhausted at 24 weeks

I felt quite tired and sick during the first trimester but overall not too bad and from around 14-15 weeks on I've felt better than ever! However the last week or so I feel completely and utterly wiped out...I know the tiredness is meant to return in the third trimester but isn't it a little soon?

It's quite strange as in the morning up until maybe mid afternoon I feel fine then this wave of exhaustion hits me like a tonne of bricks..its like my energy just runs out all of a sudden rather than feeling tired all day. I'm working full time but not any longer hours or busier, eating well, sleeping well etc.

It's just from 4pm onwards I feel like I need to go to bed or like I'm coming down with a really bad cold, literally like I can't be bothered to get up and go to the toilet like everything is heavy...its a really strange type of tiredness I haven't had before as its seems to come on so quickly!

Anyway I've been for a blood test so I'll see what that comes back with...just wanted to see if anyone had had anything similar!
