Energy in the 2nd tri? Urban legend?

war_eagle · February 2009

Cuz I'm not feelin' it. ?I will probably be asleep by 7:30 tonight.

iloveclayton · February 2009

Its definitely a myth, Im still exhausted all the time.

October2007 · February 2009

so far I have to say yes, it is a legend!

Funny because I actually felt pretty good in the first tri, only got tired near the end and it just sort of continued into the second tri.

I've also heard that it gets better a little later in the 2nd so maybe you just aren't far enough along?? on that note, I am at 17 or 18 weeks and exhausted.

Maybe it happens later? LOL!

I left work early due to the snow in NJ and fell asleep for almost two hours. Now I won't sleep at night, of course, but I'm zonked!

Bwahahahahaha. I'm definitely going with myth on that one. Yeah, just like "morning" sickness.

Totally exhausted..?

in my life · February 2009

I think at about 16 weeks my energy started to pick up, definitely not the same as pre-pg. though.

stephelias · February 2009

I'm feeling a little better energy-wise than I did in 1st tri, but I am still exhausted almost all the time.

flutiefrostie · February 2009

It was true for me starting around 21 or 22 weeks. It's not as much as I had pre-preg, but enough to make me feel like a normal person. I also don't have to nap every day.

Ditto! Mine is back, but not quite as much as pre-pg.

Myth for sure - I'm snoozing on the couch by 6 almost every night.

RichInLove · February 2009

It does come back a little. You'll still be tired a lot, but the going to bed at 7 might get better...

Mrs_mam · February 2009

Yeah, whatever energy I had bit the dust this weekend. I've been wiped out every evening since Saturday.

webMistress0609 · February 2009

Yup, myth. Unless it's referring to the constant insomnia I have which is making me even more exhausted. I can fall asleep in 30 seconds, but staying asleep is another story.

Aprilynn0206 · February 2009

Around 19-20wks my energy started to pick up- not like before but I feel normal most of the time. Actually until I really started to notice all of my clothes not fitting I didn't even really feel preg. Good luck to you!

EarlJenilee · February 2009

with my first, I had tons of energy in the 2nd tri. With this one, it has yet to return to me... I really really hope it does soon!

Leenie_89 · February 2009

I think it just depends on the day. Winter has been rotten, so I'm blaming that on the reason why I hide under the blankets. We had a day where the temp hit 65 though, and I was out cleaning, took a walk, etc. I blame it all on the weather.

amor133 · February 2009

I'm 16 weeks and 2 days and I'm still exhausted! Not as exhausted as I was a few weeks ago but I have yet to experience the great burst of energy that everyone is talking about!!

SFAug07 · February 2009

Definitely true for me, but I also had a lot of energy in the first trimester. I need less sleep now and feel really good.

The New Mrs. · February 2009

I definitely have more energy than I did in my 1st tri but not the same as pre-pg. I still want to settle down after work and not get off the couch til it's time for bed. But I'm not nearly as exhausted as I was in 1st tri fighting to stay awake at work no matter how great sleep was the night before...

mooninlv · February 2009

i've actually gotten some energy back the past 3 or 4 weeks. still more tired than pre-pg, but definitely feeling better than 1st tri. i'm enjoying it while it lasts!

Mrs.Carlybella · February 2009

i was terribly exhausted the first few weeks of pregnancy (3-6) then felt great, and now in the past 2 or so weeks i am sooooo tired

MrsSchoon04 · February 2009

I have had more energy within the last week. I can definitely tell a difference from first tri. Of course it comes and goes. I'm not always so energetic!
