Exhaustion in pregnancy

[Ejmesh]

Hi mums, I was wondering if Any of you lovely ladies could help, I’m 17 weeks pregnant with my second child, and I’m having it really bad! its one illness after the other. I’m absolutely exhausted but I don’t have to do anything to become exhausted! It’s mainly the mid and bottomed of my back, my pelvis and lower belly that is hurting so much! It aches even when i manage to get rest/sleep it still doesn’t make any difference. I work a few days a week and I keep up with everything at home cooking fresh every day I’m trying as hard as I can. I’m just worried because I didn’t feel This way when I was pregnant with my first baby, when I talk to drs they say well it’s just pregnancy! I know that this is not just pregnancy! I’m confused as to know what to do. Can anyone help?

Hi, doctor is right. It is just pregnancy....
Each one is different.
I've had two very similar easy pregnancies, and this third is taking me for a loop with all the different symptoms.
I also know mamas who have had two, one being completely different to other.
I remember my exhaustion being even worse my 2nd time bevause I had a toddler I was running around after on top of all the daily running of a house and a life.
Hopefully the back pain becomes more manageable for you, but if not, best to discuss with your midwife x

Oh also, just to be safe double check iron levels!

Hi OP, I'm 15 weeks with my second baby and feeling very much the same as you - the tiredness is debilitating and I'm so run down, I seem to be picking up everything.
We run our own business and I'm struggling with it as keep needing a nap or lie down and can't really concentrate properly.
I've got sickness too so I don't think I'm getting enough calories or nutrients and I have awful pregnancy insomnia so that's obviously not helping.
It's so different to my first pregnancy but I think that's normal.
