Apologies in advance but my brain is in complete tired out/zombie mode. I'm 39 weeks tomorrow & im absolutely wiped out
Constantly tired and drained, I've a banging headache today due to tiredness and I'm getting so stressed out because I already have a 6 yr old & I feel intense mum guilt due to not being able to so that much with them over the halloween holidays. Just feel so drained all.of the time & when I walk around now my back and pgp just exhausts me even more, everything feels like a huge effort. I know there isn't too long to go now, but the last few weeks especially have really gotten me feeling so low. I had a sweep done 3 days ago and nothings happened so far. Induction has been booked for Monday due to having pgp for so long. Is it normal at this point to feel so tired? Blood pressure etc are all okay.

I’d get checked as the headache might be an indication of something more serious like pre eclampsia

Yes totally normal unfortunately, the last couple of weeks are the worst!

I would get that headache checked out by your midwife though just in case it's a sign of pre eclampsia

Yes, totally normal! I have three children and I've always felt worse in the sense of physically more exhausted and drained in that last 6 weeks or so of my pregnancies compared to after the birth despite getting less sleep with a newborn! Won't be long now OP.
