Is this normal? I'm 17+5 baby no4 but my youngest is 15 so it's been a while since I was last pregnant. I'm 38 so just wondering if it's my age? The slightest task I feel wiped out and want to sit and chill for a bit after I'm feeling really lazy, I thought you were meant to get an energy boost in the 2nd trimester 🤣

I’m having number 3 and I’m 33 and my goodness I’ve felt absolutely wiped out all through this pregnancy. I’m 34 weeks now but never had any energy boost, just felt dreadful. Definitely think it’s harder the older you get

Oh my goodness this is me at almost 16 weeks.Thought I was being a wuss. I have just turned 37 and it’s so very different to my first pregnancy at 32.I’ve started yoga as it helped me a lot during first pregnancy.I’ve already decided I’m taking earliest mat leave for this reason! First trimester was hell too.It’s last pregnancy so trying to bare with it and rest as much as possible but also stay active so I don’t turn into a complete slump!

Thank you, I'm glad it's not just me 😂 I got up at 7ish pottered around for a few hours, put some washing away and then had a 2 hour nap 🙈🤣

I've got two 12 hour shifts tomorrow and Sunday so I can guarantee I'll be a broken bag of biscuits Monday. My house is getting out of hand now too 🙈😂

I'm over 35 too and compared to my previous pregnancy in my 20s, I feel shattered. Genuinely feels so different. Just rest when you can :)

Good luck with the shifts. I have 2 long work days ahead of me this weekend too 🤦🏾‍♀️ I’ll be dreaming of my bed half way through like last weekend I’ve no doubt 🤣 are you going on early mat leave?
