All I want to do is sleep.

NicoleSB80 · December 2012

I just can't seem to get my energy back. I'm sleeping 8 to 9 hours every night if not longer and still feel like I could fall over by noon. I usually take a quick nap after work but am still ready for bed by 9. Friends at work keep nicely telling me I look worn out and I just reply back that I truly am.

I had a couple weeks at the end of 1st TRI that I was feeling better but that went away fast.

Is there a chance I won't get my energy back before baby comes?

That's how I am too. I would say that I have slightly more energy than I did in the first tri -- ie, I get through the day fine, but once I'm home, forget about it. I just fell asleep after dinner, totally collapsed on the sofa with my husband, and when I woke up it was with a bad headache . Boo. I would go back to bed, but we have a phone date with our realtor in a few minutes.

... I'm sleeping 8 to 9 hours every night if not longer...

I want to go to there.

I remember feeling completely worn out throughout my last pregnancy. It is not fun. Just try to embrace as much sleep as you can while you can! Making a baby is hard work!

I've been going through same thing but hardly getting sleep at night. Im up and down all through the night...and it's not to use the bathroom, mainly because of CRAZY dreams. I work in a call center and I end up falling asleep at my desk for like 30min. I take my vitamins and eat like I'm supposed to... I just feel literally drained! So you're not alone!

yep me to! I slept 12 hours last night 10pm-10am and then had a 45 minute nap before I had to work today at 3!!! and the only reason I am awake at work is cause my husband made me one mean latte

I'm in the same boat. Just getting ready in the morning is enough to wear me out. I never have any energy.

I feel like that too. With my son I felt great in my second trimester and most of my third. This time I have no energy. I felt better for weeks 14to 16 after that my energy dropped again. I don't think it will get any better before baby is born.

Same here lady. I felt way better once I hit 2nd tri, but these past few weeks, my energy has completely disappeared.

I get at least 8 or 9 hours of sleep every night too and I wake up in the morning feeling like I've only gotten 4 or 5.

At work I fight to keep my eyes open all day, and I'm consistently counting down the hours until I can go home and jump in my bed or just relax and do absolutely nothing with my life lol.

I could take a nap after work and still be exhausted by 8 or 9 o'clock just like you. Glad I'm not alone in this, because I was starting to worry.

I'm usually ok as long as I don't do anything after work. Last night I had a work dinner with no time to go home first and didn't get home till 10. Today I feel horrible. Couldn't get up, and just feel achy and tired. It didn't help that I had a lot of trouble sleeping. I just want to go back to bed.

Just a thought/possibility - could your iron be low? I think a side effect of low-iron is that always exhausted feeling. Its around now that we've depleted most of our natural store and you need to up you iron intake through food, or possibly a supplement. Ask your dr first, she can probably confirm through a quick finger prick.
