Am I approaching "The Wall"?

Rachel Goldstein · February 2013

I've seen you ladies talk about "the wall" before and I'm curious if I'm getting there or what. I've been really tired lately. I'm on Iron supps and everything else has checked out normally. My m/s is back, not terribly so but I'm taking a Zofran in the morning to make it through the day. Even just the slightest activity is hell to get through. I was just sorting my underwear drawer to take out what doesn't fit so I don't have to keep searching every morning and I'm totally spent! Taking a shower means sitting on the stool and only standing up to rinse everything off at the end. It's been this way for several days. As far as I know I'm not sick at all just wiped out.

Am I having a bad week or is this here to stay?

Is this the wall?

TIA

I hit a wall at 28 weeks when suddenly everything felt so much more difficult. It lasted for a couple weeks, and then I felt pretty decent until 34 weeks. Then 36 weeks came and utterly kicked my ass. You'll probably hit a few walls! 28 weeks was, for me, the beginning of the end, but there were some much better weeks sprinkled in there!

I keep fluctuating. Good days mixed with tough days. Today I was out of breath the whole day and barely able to pick up DS at daycare.

So you mean my 20 week 'wall' isn't "The Wall"? I'm screwed! Stick out tongue
