18 weeks and still as tired as first few weeks??

[JenniferWaul]

Morning,

Anybody else? Im 18 weeks now and I am still soo tired. Literally fall asleep all the time and have zero energy. Feel fine apart from the tiredness. Wasnt this tired with previous pregnancies.

Is there anything I could do/take to try get my energy up abit?

May be a vitamin deficiency.
I struggled with fatigue much more this time, at 16wk my consultant gave me extra folic acid and I felt better after a week of taking it.

I'm 18 weeks too and it's only the last few days the fog has lifted and I can stay up past 8.
Ive upped my vit c and iron supplements last week which may or may not be a coincidence

Are u eating enough? In my first trimester i felt so fatigued but i also had a few food aversions so I don't think I was eating enough calories. Second trimester has been better but still do need a nap some days.

Thanks for they replies, im going to go holland and barratt soon and get some floradix liquid iron, see how that helps 🤞🏼

@Rubyrecka I dont think I was eating enough, i was really trying hard to but literally had no appetite so forced fruit, and have been making fresh juices etc but couldnt stomach much else until around 9pm I’d get hungry and eat something. But the last week or ao my appetite has improved so ive been trying to get much more down me

I was similar! Once u start eating more you'll probably feel a lot better ☺️

@Rubyrecka hopefully. Thanks 😊
Was fuming I fell asleep on the sofa before Line of Duty missed the whole thing 🤣🤣 xx

Oh no!! It was a good one last night as well 😂 try not to read any spoilers!!

I'm 17 weeks and have been less tired than normal in the last week or so, still feel worn out if I've done more than normal but otherwise definitely seen an improvement. Could you have low iron?

@crobo87 I’m going to get some iron tablets today so hopefully I’ll feel less like a zombie soon lol xx
