I will start by saying my iron levels were fine at 9 weeks and again at 28 weeks. Could they really have plummeted in the last 3 weeks? I say this because my level of tiredness is very extreme.
I can barely keep my eyes open, can barely lift my arms, dizzy upon standing (blood pressure is also fine), feel like I’m so aware of my heartbeat and that every breath I’m taking is deep and heavy. Yesterday I napped twice and it just made no difference.
I will add I do have 2 other children to look after, have just moved house and I’m not sleeping great atm. It’s like I’m waking constantly all night. Out of a possible 8/9 hours I’m maybe grabbing 3-4, 5 if I’m lucky.
Is this normal at this stage in pregnancy? I feel like I’ve forgotten how I felt with my other two. My youngest is 18 months and very, very demanding. The 6 weeks holidays are approaching and I actually don’t know how I’m going to cope, partner works full time hours and is out of the house practically all day.
I can’t bare feeling like this a moment longer ðŸ˜
