Exhaustion in pregnancy

[Aoife12356]

I'm so tired of feeling tired. I used to be 'get up, drink coffee, go for a run', going to evening strenuous yoga classes or dance classes. I'm just starting second trimester and feeling mainly like I want to lie in bed and watch Netflix. Sounds familiar to anyone?

Yep. I'm completely useless after 8pm. Like... I sit on the sofa and physically can't do anything else.

Being pregnant is not for wimps, I tell ya

Yes, I'm like that too. I have quite a demanding job and some days have to be with clients up until 9 pm or so, these days I'm wondering how much longer can I work

Wait til you get to 3rd trimester…I’m 34 weeks and I’m nesting badly!! I can’t stop sorting, re-organising and chucking things out. I think my partner has had enough of me 🤣

Yes, I'm 10 weeks and feel like a sloth. I have a 2 year old to look after so I can't be as sloth like as I'd like but energy levels are so very low.

Yes I'm still like this at 20 weeks!

I had to start going to bed a 9pm every night from very early in pregnancy just to be able to go to work and function. It's very normal
Your body is growing a human give yourself some slack.

Yes can be very normal..but have you had vitamins and iron levels checked. I thought my fatigue was due to pregnancy plus DS1 who is a toddler but at 28 weeks had blood test and iron is low and iron stores are very very low. Explains a lot.
