Anyone else ridiculously fatigued?

Cheekers2010 · July 2011

I keep blaming it on my poor sleep but I'm worried it's more. I'm dragging and have absolutely no energy. I've got loads to do today. My family is still visiting and my brother and sister in law arrive on Friday. My house is a disaster and G won't go down for a nap. I'm so tired I could cry.

I feel like that sometimes. It's really hard during the week after working all and not being able to get A to go to sleep.

You're preaching to the choir love! Hang in there mamma, it's time to tell the family to watch the LO you need a nap!

Will your family watch G so you can take a little break?

I'm with you on the fatigue. I had my well-woman appointment last month and I asked my OB to check my thyroid, iron, etc because I was just dragging all the time. Everything came back normal so I'm guessing it's just the interrupted sleep.

Hang in there!

Yup, I had a day off today and I sat on the couch all.day.long. LO took 2 good naps (which is unusual for her) and I just napped with her. Twice. And we slept good last night. WTF is up with that? I'm even too tired to bump ( Surprise

) I've been MIA.

I'm there with ya! I've been wondering if it will ever get better. I've noticed that being outside (when it's not like 100 degrees out) helps.

This weather is not helping!! Are you nursing? I found that taking an iron supplement seems to help some. A baby sleeping all night would help more though... Stick out tongue

Yes. I have been so tired that workouts have become more difficult and just walking up the stairs seems 'hard'. My gyn is running a thyroid and iron test along with vitamin D but suspects it might be the interrupted sleep. These babies are determined to do us in, aren't they? Wink

Ugh! Yes! Exactly. I was just thinking the same thing about the stairs. Who gets exhausted after walking up a flight?! Me...

I am still nursing. Almost exclusively since g hasn't been good about solids. Maybe it should get my iron checked. Thanks for the advice/understanding.

Yep, we're still BFing here too. We're BLWing as well so aside from breakfast when he wolfs oatmeal down like nobodies business he's primarily breastfed. My PSA for Iron is to get Floridex. It's plant based iron, doesn't upset your stomach and doesn't cause any problems in the butt area (I'm so mature) you can get it at Whole Foods or any vitamin shop. I got my OB to write me a prescription for it after having some serious PP problems with the regular iron so my insurance will cover some of it.

Ah, I knew I forgot to ask for something to be tested. My SIL (no kids) was put on vit D by her doc because she was complaining about excess fatigue.

Yes, I am feeling super run down this week. For me it's because we moved Jackson into his room and into his crib and he hasn't slept well a couple of nights this week.

Yesterday and today, though I've been getting headaches and feeling thirsty all the time. Maybe I'm just not drinking enough water.

Are you still taking a prenatal?

Hmm, hope you aren't coming down with something! Yeah, I take a prenatal but not as much as I should. It's supposed to be three times a day! Who can remember that? Yuck

I will have to try it! The idea of taking iron scares me( butt area troubles, ha ha), but I need to at least give it a shot.
