2nd pregnancy - Exhaustion

[Nikster11]

Hello,
Please tell me someone else feels a similar way!!

I sailed through first pregnancy, didn't have any issues bar sickness and absolutely loved every minute of being pregnant.

Second time round I feel absolutely horrendous. Constantly feel tired and stressed, had a seizure for the first time at around 26 weeks, and have felt beyond exhausted ever since. I've been signed off work a couple of times, and I have no idea how I plan on getting through the next 8 weeks of pregnancy. I sleep at every opportunity, and when I get to nap in the day, it's often for about half the day. I feel so guilty about work, but I'm also petrified of having another seizure and know the best thing is to take the time off.

Anyone else struggling second time round??

Hiya, like you my first pregnancy was a breeze! Second time round I had a 2 year old to contend with, plus I was huge and suffered PGP early on. I was absolutely exhausted for the majority of the time, it was a struggle.

Just found out we are expecting again...! I have a lively 3 year old, 6 month old that doesn't sleep due to reflux and 6 weeks pregnant I'm already totally exhausted. I think it seems to either get harder with each pregnancy, or just because you have kids you cant put your feet up and sleep lol

Hang in there x x x

Hi love, I've never had a seizure but my husband has and it's very common to be exhausted after. He's usually tired for up to a week. I guess the best advice would be to seen by your doc. Xx
