Third trimester fatigue

ems028

I'm 31 weeks + 1 today. It's 8pm and I find myself in bed already. I was too tired to cook dinner after work so we ordered pizza. I can't even remember what normal energy levels feel like...

How are you guys doing?

I have 6 weeks until my maternity holiday begins...hurrrrryyyy uppppp!

Yes! Since I started my 3rd tri I can not get enough sleep! Even if I get a good stretch at night I'm still tired all day!

Sleep is a distant memory.  I'm often tossing and turning, trying to get comfortable.  Once I do, I fall asleep for maybe two hours and then have to pee or switch positions again.  I guess this is nature's way of getting me ready for baby haha.

I actually dread trying to sleep. I'm tired most days, but between getting up every 2 hours to use the bathroom and finding a position that is comfortable, it's just not as restful. I'll get a good 4 hour stretch sometimes, but that's usually when the exhaustion takes over. At least I'll be used to it when DS gets here!

Been feeling totally exhausted and beat all week now.

Honestly, this is my fourth pregnancy,and so far the worse with exhaustion..maybe my body is saying too many babies lol? Some days it is all I can do to keep up with a one year old.

I've been tired since DD was an embryo. That whole second trimester energy thing? Yeah that skipped right past me!

I sleep. In between trips to the bathroom and bouts of lying in bed trying to decide if I just want to lay there with no covers on because I'm hot or get back under the covers because that's the only way I can actually sleep. I can get a good 6 hours in overall, but I'm still exhausted when DS wakes up and I use his nap time to catch up on housework or watch grown-up things on TV.

This exhaustion thing is just my body's way of paying me back for using it to grow a human.

I'm the opposite. Third trimester energy galor. I can't sleep and find myself feeling well rested after 5 hours of sleep. Before I would drag if I got anything less than 6. And I just want to accomplish all the things!!!!

I feel like a total bum, but my fatigue is back with a vengeance. All I want to do is stay in bed

I can sleep for 8 hours a night and still wake up exhausted. I don't ever want to leave my bed.

Yes it's awful! I have no energy to cook or clean basically I'm checked out after 5pm. My poor kids haven't had a decently cooked meal in days. Fast and easy I'm all about these days

Yes! Completely exhausted all day even after sleeping for at least 6 hours. A little annoyed because my best friend is pregnant as well and has been nesting for weeks!! I can barely muster energy to cook dinner and do homework :-( DH has been a prince taking care of everything else so the house isn't a total nightmare.

I always feel exhausted, today has hit me harder than other days. I try to go to bed early since I wake up for work at 4:20 am. I love that I leave work at 1:30 pm but I do not always take a nap because there is always something to do around the house and with school. We are barely putting the nursery together and I wish we would have done this a few weeks ago when I had more energy

31+6 and i am super lethargic. my BP has been getting lower throughout pregnancy and while still on the low end of normal is now the lowest i have ever had in my life. i feel like this probably has something to do with it. oh and toting around an extra 21 lbs is no joke!! i can't wait to regain some energy... in a couple of years maybe? lol.

I can barely stay awake driving home from work (super safe)! I pretty much sleep until 6:30pm, make DH make/buy dinner, then go back to sleep. So tired!!!!

I can't understand my body I'm so tired all through the day. But when it's time to go to bed I can never go right to sleep. When I do fall asleep I'm up 3 hrs later just staring at the ceiling wishing I was sleep.

I'm so tired, but I can't sleep. My doctor suggested unisom before bed to help me get to sleep. Well it gets me to sleep, but I still wake up every 2-4 hours. It's ridiculous, id do almost anything to sleep like my husband.

I went to bed at 9 last night, only woke up twice to pee, got up at 7:30 and still feel like I could sleep all day long. I'm so glad my shower is this weekend so I can get whatever else we will need, pack my hospital bag, put in the car seats, and not have anything else to do until pregnancy is over!

Exhausted all the time! I live in Texas and it is a sauna outside so if I go out for a few minutes I feel like I'm going to pass out. All I want to do is stay in the AC and hydrate myself. I go back to work next week (teacher) and I don't know how I am going to get up early every day! I have been sleeping in until 9:00 am every day! Then I take a nap around 12:30. I am lucky my husband picks up the slack around here!
