24.5 weeks preg - exhausted

[worldwidetravel2017]

Ivf pregnancy
Im nearly 39

I have cfs..

Im exhausted

Now have had a cold for 4 or 5 days

Muscles ache

Just exhausted

Anyone else ?

I feel for you, felt exhausted throughout my whole pregnancy. The promised energy boost never came. Poor sleep too. I felt better as a new mum with a newborn 😅

I'm 24 weeks and also exhausted. Starting to feel pretty uncomfortable now as well, waddling around, can't bend down anymore, it's making me grumpy and irritable.

I'm 39 and 25 weeks. I'm always exhausted! I'm not even doing that much but I've never got any energy and just want to sit with my feet up or nap! It's frustrating as it's so unlike me, I'm usually very active and productive. But I'm accepting it for what it is as this is a very longed for but also high risk pregnancy. Only about another 13 weeks to go for me 😬 x

Yeah - that last sentence - im kinda expecting that too

I hear you.

This cold has knocked me,back
So had 2 naps in day yest.

Unlike me

But then was up @ 4am

Hey

Same re high risk and very longed for

Also expecting just another 12 / 13 weeks to do

Are you having a c section ?

@worldwidetravel2017 yes they're going to book me in for 39 weeks but I've said if on the off chance I go into labour before that (and my currently low placenta has moved🤞🏼) I'll try natural first as I've already had 2 c sections and would rather avoid another if I can. But obviously will just have to see how things are at that point, ultimately I'll go with whatevers safest for baby x

Rest as much as you can and if you are struggling do call maternity triage for advice.

I developed severe fatigue in my last pregnancy I was having 4+ naps a day awake for less than an hour at a time sleeping for 20h a day and had a couple of hospital admissions because of it. They didn't find a definitive cause but I also had Obstetric Cholestasis and my liver was struggling so they think it was probably that. I was still having to have several naps a day for the first few weeks but close to normal energy levels now I'm 11 weeks post partum.
They were planning on inducing me at 37-38 weeks because of the fatigue with a very good chance of needing a c section due to not having the energy for labour. My liver function dropped off at 36 weeks so they ended up giving me a sweep at 36+6 and inducing me the next day. I managed to sleep through most of my labour so just about got through it

Thanks ..
I do have 2 liver conditions
They did a liver function test last week that was okay..

Hoping for a c section
