When did you start to feel more tired than usual?

Just wondering when everyone else started feeling more tired during pregnancy. . . . .I'm 20+5 and definitely been feeling more tired the last week/week and a half. Can't tell if it's due to pregnancy or the effects of the lockdown situation. My mum was surprised I'm feeling more tired already

I'm 27 weeks today and suddenly feel exhausted. A rest sorts me out, for a bit!

toastandmoretoast - everyone says the first trimester is most tiring; and then you get more energy, but I've had the opposite experience (I didn't even know I was pregnant until 13 weeks). Like you, particularly since around 20 weeks I have felt more tired/lacked motivation! I'm now 23 weeks and do feel very lazy at times... although that might be to do with a lack of routine due to covid-19 for me! Do you sleep well at night?

I know it's hard to tell the difference lol. I felt great once the morning sickness passed around 14 weeks and felt good up until recently. I think it might be the whole lockdown thing more than being pregnant but at the same time if I walk up even a small hill I'm panting haha!

First 6-7 weeks I was constantly knackered as I just couldn't sleep properly as I was in quite a lot of pain (thankfully everything was fine) and then I got over it and then this week (now 15 weeks) I feel absolutely done in! I've been told it should pass by about 17 weeks but from what you guys have said I don't think that's going to happen! 😂

I was honestly sleeping 14-16 hours a day in first trimester! I’m better now, but at 23 weeks I still need an afternoon nap and sleep through from 10pm - 7.30am!

I had hyperemesis so dont know if that makes fatigue worse, but I’ve never slept so much in my life!

@Nelbert19 I go to bed around 10pm most nights and waking up at 9am! I still need an afternoon nap so I'm with you! 😂
I'm going to cherish it whilst I can as I can kiss goodbye to a solid 11 hour sleep once baby gets here! 😝

@Nelbert19 I would definitely say the HG will have played a big part there, you're probably still recovering lol. @lockdownpregnancy yeah I wouldn't get too excited about a burst of energy cause it seems like there's no definites in pregnancy lol.

Just a thought are your iron levels ok if your out of breath easily and tired?

I hope so @sarahc336 They were fine at my booking app in Jan and still taking the pregnacare. I remember thinking I'd be anaemic back in Jan but midwife says the vitamins keep that all in check too.

Before I even found out I was Pregnant. Had zero energy to the point I couldn't even manage to climb into the bath for a shower!
