Anyone else feel faint, knackered and massive at 23 weeks?!

I keep thinking I can't possibly be only half way through...felt pretty knackered and breathless all through so far, and my sister (who is a midwife) recommended I start taking flourodix (sp?) iron supplement a week ago. I thought I was getting much better, but today have been so knackered I did v.little work all day, and then took to my bed when I'd picked my 2 dc up from school/nursery (they piled in with me, the older one who's 7 very sweetly got me a tray piled with satsumas, and then they went off to watch cbeebies while I phoned dh to come home). Have only just had the strength to get out of bed and come on here!
Just moaning really...but if there's anything this maybe means I should be doing/taking/trying, I'll give it a go! I should be an expert it being my third, but in fact all that means is I've given away my baby books and forgotten everything...

I was going to suggest iron too. can you ask at your next anti natal app. for a test to see if you have low iron? Other than that, get tested for underactive thyroid? I had both and they both make you feel knackered and faint apparently. I started getting hair loss too. Having said all that, maybe you are just tired and bed was the best place for you?
