20 weeks and so tired!

[wondering7777]

Is it normal to feel quite tired at this stage of pregnancy? I had a day off work today and had a quick nap that turned into a 2.5-hour sleep this afternoon. I've been out almost every night this week and feel exhausted! Anyone else?

I’m 20 weeks too and really struggling. We’ve all seemed to have non-stop colds this year and I feel completely drained. I also think there’s a transition when you carry on doing what you used to and haven’t realised that you need to pace yourself! If it helps I found the pregnancy tiredness harder than the newborn tiredness with my last two. I have two weeks leave coming up and my plan in to live in my pjs. I can’t wait 😊

Am 21 weeks and feel absolutely shattered this week I could of easily skept in the afternoon the last two days given the chance am exhausted I dont remember feeling like this with my 1st but maybe its cause am 3yrs older now lol

I'm nearly 25 weeks and completely exhausted every day but I cant sleep at night so sleep into the morning and then normally have an hour in the afternoon as i cant work due to hyperemesis. I'm so tired and exhausted every day no energy to do much at all. I'm thinking it's only going to get worse with my bump growing and being more uncomfortable and then with a new baby as well.

This is so true I think - I’ve found myself needing a sit-down after activities like cleaning, which I would never had needed before. It definitely has an effect!

19 weeks and I'm ready for bed by 11am!! The days are so long with this tiredness.

I’m out again tonight at a friend’s Christmas party. Just the thought of having to make small talk with a whole bunch of people I don’t know is making me feel exhausted!

I also feel hungover this morning even though I’ve had nothing to drink. Ugh
