Anyone else exhausted at 29 weeks

[hoohaal]

I am 29 weeks pregnant and I’m so fucking tired. I’ve got a heath condition which makes me more tired anyway, so it’s like a double whammy.

Have slept 2 hours today already and could definitely fall back asleep again now if I didn’t have 2 other kids.

Anyone else feeling the same way? It’s an absolute killer 😭

Some days I feel just as exhausted as the first tri! Plus I'm SO hot all the time 😳

It might be worth speaking to your midwife for some blood tests. I developed extreme tiredness around 35 weeks and ended up in hospital. They ran tests for anaemia and checked my b12 too. I had poor liver function due to obstetric cholestasis, low platelets and mild hemolysis, they think it was probably a combination of all of it plus pregnancy plus not being awake enough to eat enough - I was sleeping 18+h a day. There are quite a few things that can cause tiredness in pregnancy it doesn't hurt to have some bloods to check there's not an easy remedy

I felt exhausted around that time but it improved quite a bit around 32 weeks

@SuperscientistThey realised last week that I have low iron, so that’s probably not helping things!!

@LauraP94i’ll cling on to the hope that it improves by then 🤣. Fingers crossed!!
