Super Mom....super tired. Do you try to do to much this week?

So I'm a FTM, in general I tend to over involve myself. So with the new 'energy' burst of te second trimester plus planning ahead for my transition to be a SAHM. I think I have taken on too much again. I'm working as an event planner 40 hours a week, consultant 10 hours a week ( will continue with this job as a SAHM), and volunteering 5 hours a week. So before pregnancy, I could do it all. Well waking up this morning..I could feel my body and LO saying 'slow down'. So I'm exhausted in bed and watching TV. Wishing I had more energy. Has anyone else noticed a "noticeable" difference with energy levels or work/activities since being pregnant? Or is my second trimester energy ending? 26w1d.

Re: Super Mom....super tired. Do you try to do to much this week?
I am having a huge difference, BUT I had a dr appt yesterday and he told me im anemic
so now i have to take shots of b12 every week just to keep up with everything. That might be a reason, but other than that i was just the same as you working two jobs (full/part time) and have a DH and 2 dogs with 2 puppies, but trying to get rid of the puppies lol they were a surprise. Want one lol
It will get better
You took the words right out of my mouth. I worked more than 9 hours every day this week and was non compliant on lunch twice. I had the day off today and I was totally sad and lazy all day, I think I just pushed myself too hard this week.
I didn't have a ton of second trimester energy, and I've been doing more around the house now that baby seems imminent, but I think the key is prioritizing your tasks, and rest and prepping for baby should be numero uno.
I hear you! I'm the type of person who sees something has to be done and I just do it. I work 40+ hours a week at my job, then come home, cook dinner, study (Canine and Equine Massage Therapy), then crawl to bed. That's usually my routine but with the snow that has to be shoveled, the dogs that have to be walked and trying to put together baby stuff I'm beyond exhausted.
I actually woke up this morning and I had to do drag myself out of bed to get ready for work. I'm exhausted and my body is telling me it has had enough and I'm listening. I'm going to try to take it easy tonight and tomorrow but wow I miss my energy!
The wind started leaving my sails around 26 weeks. It was slow at first and I could push it but now I'm just saying screw it I'm putting my feet up!
