3rd Tri exhaustion

I knew to expect the exhaustion to return in 3rd tri, but this is ridiculous.  I could get through the day in 1st tri by going to bed earlier and taking a nap in the afternoon, but nothing seems to be helping the exhaustion I'm feeling. 

I'm sure a lot of  it is due to the lack of decent sleep I get.  I'm up no less than 3 times at night, and I can't get comfortable to save my life.   My dr. even suggested I take a unisom a couple of nights a week to help me get some rest.

It's going to be a long 7 weeks if I don't get some rest soon.  Did the 3rd tri exhaustion hit anyone else this hard?

    I was so exhausted. Once you get comfortable then you have to get up and go to the bathroom. I was up once an hour on bathroom trips. The only time I got rest was when I took tylenol PM or the phenergen(sp) when I was sick. Good Luck on trying to get some sleep.

    Yep it hit me pretty hard as well.  Tylenol PM was the only time I got decent sleep but I didn't take it much because it would leave me feeling drowsy the next day. 

    Hope you can get some sleep!

    As bad as this may sound but I have had exhaustion my entire pregnancy.  Everyone says you get energy in the 2nd tri but I did not.  My problem is sleep.  I go to sleep fine but I wake up around 4:30-5:00 and it takes me over an hour to go back to sleep.  I am so sleepy today and want to curl up in bed.

    I took tylenol pm in 3rd tri, too. I'd also nap at lunch and take at least one every day after work. Its nature's cruel joke...expectant mom's should get to sleep like the dead before the baby gets here!

    I'm experiencing exhaustion right now!!  The beginning of third tri up until week 33, I was feeling wonderful, sleeping good, had a ton of energy, etc.  Now I'm so tired and sluggish that I don't want to do anything when I get home except sleep.  I hope I get another burst of energy because I've still got some stuff left to do before the baby gets here.

    I know how you feel!  I work third shift and it seems like the best time for me to sleep is at night.  Go figure.  Plus, my little guy hates any position I lay in.  LOL.  So, I don't sleep much and I hate the tired feeling, cause we are about to move and I have a whole house to get set up before he gets here!  hope you have better luck.
