I’m 25 weeks pregnant and have suffered with fatigue throughout my whole pregnancy. It was definitely worse in the first trimester but it is still very much there. I work full time so through the week I’m in the office so don’t get a chance to nap, and by the time I’m home in the evening I’m absolutely drained and wiped out. I don’t do a lot physically throughout the day, I’d love to exercise but by the time I’m home I’m just too exhausted. I feel like I should be able to do way more than I do which leaves me feeling guilty and honestly, embarrassed.
I’ve mentioned it at all of my midwife appointments and they said because my iron levels were good at my initial appointment (8 weeks) they don’t think it’s anything to do with that.
I’ve had people saying the usual, ‘just wait until you’re in the newborn trenches’ , ‘you’ll get a burst of energy soon’ , ‘are you taking your supplements’ etc.
Has anyone else had this throughout their whole pregnancy? Did it get any better, and did you find anything that helped at all? I’ve accepted the fact it’s likely going to be there throughout whole pregnancy but any advice or hearing others experiences would be great!
