Second trimester energy burst

rocky_star · July 2012

WHERE IS IT? Admittedly, I'm not AS tired as I was during first tri, but this pregnancy is still kicking my butt! I'm beginning to feel like the whole second tri energy burst is a myth.. Is anyone else as tired as I am?

STMs - did you get one during your last pregnancy? when?!

I am still pretty tired and I don't sleep very well in the evening either.

I am tired, but it is NOTHING like the first tri. Maybe no energy burst just means you had it easy the first tri? I would sleep until the absolute last second in the morning and crawl into bed the second I got home from work. My husband would sometimes have to wake me up to ask me if I ate any dinner on my walk between the car and the bed! On weekends I would take at least one nap a day!

Now I can get up at a reasonable hour and go to bed between 9 and 10. Some days I am extra sleepy and go to bed by 8, but heck, 8 is a lot better than 6!

Me too! I cannot sleep well to save my life. Between trying to get comfortable, clearing my mind, and ignoring my boyfriend's snoring, it is really difficult to fall asleep...especially after every one of the million times I get up to pee at night.

Same here. My husbands snoring has been driving me crazy and I wake him up in the middle of the night alot too. I feel bad because neither one of us are sleeping.

It's a myth! At least for me!

Myth for me too. Similarly, I'm not AS tired, but I still feel pretty wiped out by the end of the day.

I just got it a few days ago. It's not like my old self, but I get these bursts and I bust out some deep cleaning that I've been overlooking.

So, I've been slowly cleaning out/organizing the pantry. It's taking me way longer than usual, but at least I have more energy than I did in the spring!

I felt like you at the beginning of my 2nd tri, but this week is when I'd say the energy burst is in full effect.

The last few days I'm having a bit of insomnia and I just feel energized all. the. time.

Me, too! Overall, I'm still tired, but every now and then I have a good day and am able to tackle a bigger project. I have enough energy day-to-day to handle the basic cleaning I neglected during the first tri, but I need a lot more sleep than I used to!

Heck yes, I'm so sick of it. I just started taking some additional vitamins.. so I'm hoping that helps! I agree though, I'm not as tired as the 1st trimester (I vaguely recall sleeping ALL the time)

Mine is in spurts! I feel very nesty and motivated to do a lot of baby things but my gut says it's too early to start so I'm waiting! But I have been clearing a lot of cluter out of the house and moving it to the basement. Something that would have been a foreign concept in 1st tri. Comparatively I do have more energy!

abuninmyoven · July 2012

Ugh - I was just thinking this same thing on the way to work this morning. I slept for 12 hours last night and I could have stayed in bed much longer. I think this is the third day in a row that I've done that! I know I was tired in the 1st tri, but I honestly don't remember sleeping this much.

perfectlove09 · July 2012

I'm much more tired now than I was in first tri. I can't get enough sleep and I HATE taking naps. I always wake up miserable feeling.

I have thought about taking a b vitamin halfway through the day to see if that helps.

If you see this energy please send it my way.

I am not quite as tired as first Tri I guess, but still tired more than I was pre-pregnancy. If I do find the energy during the day (hahaha) I am exhausted super early.

For the snoring thing... let me suggest ear plugs. It will change your life. I know they have mine and I am a much happier lady

no energy. in the first tri it was no energy because it was all spent puking. Now i think its the no sleep.. i think my exhaustion is the same.. maybe more exhausted
