Third tri tired is a whole new monster!

Twice in the last week or so, I've been so tired that I've actually been on the verge of tears!  I frequently needed a nap in the first tri, but I never felt like this!  I really enjoyed the energy that came back in the 2nd tri, but it looks like those days are slowly coming to an end.  I was so tired this afternoon that just picking out a spaghetti sauce at the grocery store felt overwhelming, haha.  Anyone else losing their energy again?

    This! Or I fight the afternoon naps..guess I should listen to my body and take them. I've been a wreck the last week and sadly cry at the drop of a dime.
  • Not only tired but I feel funky....like first tri funky. Nausea and all.

  • Yes! I took a two hour nap yesterday, slept for 9 hours last night, and still took a three hour nap today. No matter how much rest I get, I am still so tired!

  • I went back to the doctor to see if my anemia was worse because I have been so tired. It turns out, no anemia. I guess it is just third trimester.

  • Yep.  Carrying around DD feels like some monumental workout, and by 9pm I'm zonked.  But I'm sleeping terribly at night, so I can't even seem to catch up on rest!  I have an apt Friday, I suspect they'll check iron levels - I hope its not that as those extra supplements are no bueno for staying regular.

  • Yes, it's so hard to stay awake and concentrate during the day.

    Once I get home from work, I have absolutely no energy to do anything. All I want to do is plop right in bed and not wake up until the next day. Ugh.

    I know I'm going to end up being a trillion times more tired once LO arrives, ugh I don't know how I'm gonna do it..

  • Yup. I was so frustrated with how awful I still felt during second tri b/c I know third tri is only going to get worse. Sigh. And It's my busy season at work right up until 37 weeks. I normally work 60 hours/week this time of year. I don't know how I'm going to get it all done.

  • I felt really good during the second tri but yep, energy levels are waning again. The alarm went off at 7 AM this morning (I was in bed before 11) and I just wanted to crush the clock with a sledgehammer. I did afternoon naps during a lot of the first tri and it looks like they're baaaaack! The only plus is that it still feels really good to get out for a nice long walk with the dogs every morning. (I used to do a PM walk too, but that fell by the wayside long ago.)

    Over-40 parents...what we lack in vigor, we make up for with cunning.
  • I definitely feel like I could sleep all day again.
    I'm just lucky DD sleeps from 9pm to 11am. I get at least 10 hours at night.
    But, this medicine and the 3rd trimester approaching me..I want to sleep by 2/3pm all over again.
    No nesting has started either, I wonder if anything will ever get done.
