Feeling so fatigued

[YOB2]

Hello all,
I’m nearly 34 weeks and I’ve been feeling so fatigued for some days now. I have gestational diabetes and chose to diet control which was hard from the beginning but gradually and successfully able to get it under control and feeding better. I initially associated my fatigue with my change of diet due to GDM but I felt better weeks after my change of diet started and I could easily feed well now as I’ve gotten my sugar levels under control. The last couple of days I’ve been so fatigued, tired and get exhausted easily without doing anything unusual. I normally go for walks but I couldn’t since anymore since I started feeling fatigued.

p.s I’m placed on iron tablets for months now, so I wouldn’t think my iron levels is low.

Anyone here with similar symptoms? I just want to feel better and myself soon 😞

I was about to say ask for a blood test for your iron. I mean is there a chance your body is not absorbing the iron? Take a blood test to double check?

I don’t know much about how GD affects pregnancy or any other suggestions. Only that I had low iron in my last pregnancy, and this time I had to ask for a blood test at 18 weeks from my doctor to find my iron is very low again. I’m soo tired I’m struggling but only just started tablets.

Thanks a lot. I’m meeting my midwife Monday so will ask for my iron levels be checked again though it’s always checked and I get seen almost weekly 😞.
