Still knackered at 16 weeks. When does the energy burst come?

[yellowflowers]

Anyone else at a similar stage and needing afternoon naps? People keep telling me second trimester is full of energy - can't say I have noticed this yet!

Yep, me too. I'm better than I was but am still knackered and need a nap - can't see this lifting now TBH. I've had a few people tell me that while the 2nd trimester is the most comfortable, they were still knackered compared to not being pregnant! Great, huh?

well at 25 weeks I can report that I have not got mine yet but then I have hyperemesis and a toddler!

Oh no.... my mum said it was the most full of energy she'd ever felt in her life. Not for me though...

Have you looked at your blood results, perhaps you need more iron rich foods/supplements

I'll join your club- Its made me realise that what to expect means you might not get the classic signs! I was fine in the 1st trimester and have been shattered in this second one- I'm 24+6 today and still tired- I get the odd day when I feel fine, but mostly I'm very tired, even more so if I forget to take multi vits. And my iron levels etc were fine.

26+4 and still knackered. Due my 3rd trimester tiredness soon so I think thats it for me

I didn't start to feel more energetic till about 18/19 weeks. Now at 28 weeks this has definitely come to an end but I'm lucky to have had a fairly pleasant second trimester!

I'm 27 weeks and I'm on the sick due due to blood pressure/dizziness. My place is a pig sty and my husband works full time and I always feel guilty waiting till he comes home to 'share' the housework. Today, I have done enough dishes to fill the draining board and left the rest. No signs of energy burst so far. i suppose everyones different so you might be lucky
