Anyone else have exhaustion settling in?

GerberDaisies3 · January 2012

Okay, the last few days, I feel like every bit of energy has been sucked out of me! I don't want to get up in the morning, then I sit at work thinking about going home to take a nap! Is anyone else feeling this way? I thought maybe either the baby must be hitting a growth spurt or its because the third trimester will be starting in two weeks for me.

Any tips for finding some energy or motivation? I have a ton of stuff to do at our house and I need to find some energy to do it!

As a side note: I hit double digits tomorrow...Only 99 Days to Go!!! Woohoo!!

I was actually just saying this yesterday. I just feel so tired, my entire body feels heavy if that makes any sense.

I think it's because of our growing bellies and the 3rd tri right around the corner.

I've been trying to get into bed an hour earlier than I normally do, I feel a little better today, but I'm by 3:00 I'll be dragging.

I could have just typed your post word for word-- I'm one day behind you. And I am WIPED OUT. It's so hard to get up in the morning, I'm completely non-productive at work. In fact I've been sitting here all morning thinking about napping at lunch. I'm also starting to get more and more uncomfortable and having a much harder time sleeping at night. My house is being neglected and I seriously need to work on some things... I just have no will to do any of it! Hope this is a "phase" that passes quickly.

Just in the last few days I have noticed a huge difference in energy. I am not sleeping as well, which is making harder to get up in the morning and stay going all day.

I was just saying that I feel like this baby is sucking every ounce of energy out of me. He's probably going to come out of the womb demanding a steak and a beer.

I am down to double digits tomorrow too. I have been feeling the same way and it started this week. I am thinking it may be b/c we are getting so close to 3rd tri.

I've been feeling like this for the past couple of days. I feel like I need a nap every two hours. By the time I get showered and dressed in the morning I'm ready to go back to bed. If anyone finds something that helps, please share!!

Same here! Felt super drained the last two days and haven't felt much movement from DS. I think he's going through a growth spurt. I have to clean the house and just do NOT want to do it. Sleeping is also becoming more difficult and the stretching and pulling on my abdomen is getting ridiculous. Get's even worse at night. Glad others feel the same.

On a happy note. My shower is coming up and only a few more days until I hit 90 days, woohoo!! Time should go by much faster now.

My first trimester exhaustion never went away. Everyone who says you feel better in second Tri is a lying liar who lies!

I am not happy that everyone else is tired too, but glad to know I am not alone! If the energy doesn't return this weekend, I may have to hire a cleaning lady!!

I am already considering this. I told DH that I need to bc I can't do it all anymore. I am maybe getting 3-4 hrs of sleep a night. I am so tired that when I get home I just lay around and get absolutly nothing done that I need too. If I ever did have the spurt of energy I must have blinked because I don't remember seeing it.
