Exhausted 2nd pregnancy

[Kkea]

I'm 39 + 4 with second child.
First pg was not a breeze but no PGP and fatigue nowhere near as bad.
Been on mat leave from 30 weeks. Constantly just feel crap, no energy despite BP, iron levels, etc all ok.
I do have some blood/protein in my urine which is being investigated.
Pelvic pain from about 25 weeks too where I'm hobbling about every time I get up from sitting/standing.
Currently spending every chance I get in bed, don't even feel like watching TV!!!
I can't even use looking after my toddler as an excuse as my SO doing pretty much everything thankfully.
Sorry for rant but has anyone got any similar experiences of 2nd pregnancy being harder??

Yes, me. My 1st was fine. My 2nd I basically didn’t leave the house for the final 2 months. It was awful from around 18 weeks until the end. I’ve never felt such apathy and exhaustion…what’s worse is I felt incredibly guilty because there was no reason or excuse for it. Take it easy on yourself, some pregnancies just sap the life out of you. If it’s any consolation, I felt so much better after the birth- it just felt so good not to be pregnant any more!

Thank you Ghht. This is soo reassuring hear that's it's not just me! Sometimes you think why is everyone else seeming to cope so much better. X
