Is anyone just..not getting their 'second-wind' in the second trimester?
It's my first pregnancy and I'm 18 weeks today. I'm just not getting any less tired, if anything more tired. I can't sleep at night because my nose plugs on one side, then I get up and sneeze about 7 times which means then my whole nose is plugged solid.
Anyone else in this boat?
Re: Where is this promised second wind?!
I no longer need naps during the day but when I get home from work I am super tired and on the weekends don't want to get out of bed.
At night I wake up in the middle of the night to pee or toss and turn because of lower back aches. Hope it gets better.
Sneezing..since I have been pregnant I sneeze all the time. Don't know what causes all the sneezing.
It's so annoying. I used to never sneeze. Me sneezing was a scary thing for people in my family, that's how often I sneezed. Now! It's like every twenty minutes or so.
As for the backaches..I've found sleeping on my right side really helps. Last night I had my BD just rub his hands over my back and it worked wonders, try that!
I feel ya! I am in the same boat. This past week I didn't keep anything down from Sunday night until Thursday night because of m/s... not even water. It was not the most fun as I was so weak from the lack of calories/energy. I am not quite as exhausted as I was weeks 6-12, but I definately don't feel like this is the "honeymoon trimester".
Between m/s, allergies, back pain and sciatic nerve pain I am not really enjoying this trimester any more than the last. I do hope that "next time around" my pregnancy will not be the same but with all the complaints... I still wouldn't change it for the world.
Oh it gets worse. The larger you get the less sleep you get. Hip pain, back pain, peeing every 90 minutes or so.
I got a nice second wind and felt pretty good until week 23 or so hit. Now I'm pooped again!

yup I never sneezed before. now it's achooo..achoo...achooo...lol
gonna try sleeping on my side. I tell DH for back rubs in the middleof the night so I can least fall asleep. those rubs are the best. I hear those maternity pillows work, but they seem so big. lol
When I do get any kind of descent sleep it's on my side. I got a body pillow for 9.99 at target and it has been a life saver. I regret waiting so long to get one!
You have an awesome H! My hubbs gives me back rubs to get to sleep too.
