I am currently 35 weeks pregnant and experiencing extreme fatigue, I've heard this could be a sign of labour but as I still have 5 weeks left, could this be a cause of something else?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Have you had your iron levels checked recently?

Yes, being heavily pregnant is tiring.

Or maybe you need your iron levels checked.

I wouldn’t be jumping straight to early labour.

As others get your iron levels checked.

I ended up nocturnal at the stage from having to sleep so much in the day.

I had my DS at 35 weeks but I didn't have any warning symptoms before my waters broke - I don't know if that helps or not

Try to rest when you can, and call your GP or midwife if you're worried - I was supposed to have a check-up at 36 weeks so you could raise it then if you have a check-up soon?
