Third trimester exhaustion and needing naps - is this normal

Just checking to see if this is normal in third trimester as I never experienced it with my first born - I am 31 weeks pregnant and extremely tired, I am going to bed at like 8/9 the latest, waking up at 4/5am so I am still getting a good 7/8 hours each night but I am now needing to nap in the day! I had so much energy with my first, I didn’t even feel pregnant but this time round has been totally different.
I do have pelvic girdle pain, back pain and sciatica and a toddler to run around after this time so not sure if this has anything to do with it and I am also 3 years older than when I was pregnant with my first so I wonder if this is also something to do with it all. Just looking to see if this is a normal thing to expect in the third trimester, I just thought it was the first trimester you experienced such tiredness! 😩

Yes, took a lot of naps in the last trimester the second time round.

Having a toddler has absolutely everything to do with it, take the rest where you can!
