Energy question

OctGirl80

With my first pregnancy, I never got a "burst of energy" in 2nd tri, but I wasn't as tired as I was in 1st. This time around, I don't know if it's the combo of pregnancy and dealing with a toddler or just that it's twins, but I can't believe how tired I am. Have any of you ladies further along been less tired once you moved into 2nd?

Well a little less tired but not the same at all with my singles. I was talking to my step mom about how I was working with my dad to replace wall sockets while 40 w with my second son and I could barely stand up at 34 weeks with these guys.

I felt great for about 2 weeks during the 2nd tri, then school started and it was all downhill from there. I was definitely envious of my friends pregnant w/ singletons who were just like normal but with a cute little bump.....multiples are just a whole different ballgame.

I'm not as tired as I was in the first tri from "normal" activity like going to work (I sit at a desk), however on the weekends when I'm more active I get extremely tired.  For example, I went to Target to grocery shop yesterday, I was gone for maybe one hour and had to take a nap later.  All I did was walk around the store, but it is exhausting.  I also have a four year old, so I'm doing things with her througout the day that I didn't do with my last pregnancy.

It's exhausting to carry two babies around!

It makes me feel so much better to hear other pregnant MoMs are exhausted even earlier on in their pregnancy, too! 

I had bursts of energy during the 2nd tri for a few days at a time, but I wouldn't say I ever felt great and energetic.  Seems I was always having some weird symptom (jaw pain, leg pain, headaches, etc.) that really took the wind out of my sails.  Now that I'm about 30 wks, I've noticed just going up & down the stairs to do laundry or even getting dressed can be a chore that leaves me breathing hard!  I see all the things that "need" to be done around the house, yet what I really want to do is sit in the recliner
