Is this normal in second trimester ?

[TheThreeMiracles]

I am so tired ! Like zero energy what so ever !
My iron levels are ok, I'm 16 weeks but I'm literally exhausted I could sleep for days and I'd still be knackered ! Is this normal ?
Fwiw I'm still breastfeeding my 17 month old and he still wakes up anything from 1-3 times a nights! But you hear of the second trimester glow but I defo don't have that!!

The 'glow' is a total myth!

First pregnancy I had dental issues throughout the second trimester and had to have a tooth removed, I also had massive food aversions, headaches and, at 28 weeks, i got appendicitis.

This pregnancy the sickness has been worse and was still daily till 20 weeks - I'm 28 weeks now and threw up my dinner tonight so it's still happening although only occasional these days. The second trimester also brought with it insomnia, recurrent UTI's, mouth ulcers, awful heartburn and sciatica.

I had no glow through both of my pregnancies. I felt dreadful 🙈. The only good bit of being pregnant is feeling the baby move in my opinion.

So it's normal to be this tired 😩 I could sleep all day and all night at the moment! Xx

I was having mid-day naps all throughout the second and third trimester. I have more energy with a newborn now, than I did when I was pregnant!

Unfortunately so. I've found the tiredness this pregnancy to be absolutely debilitating! I think when you have another child to look after it's so much harder as well
