Anyone else tired all.the.time??

MySunshine213 · August 2013

I'm going to mention it to my dr at my next appt but I am exhausted from the minute I wake up to the minute I go to bed. Just crazy tired all the time. Obviously I expect to be somewhat worn out at this point but to what extent?

Ajoyd · August 2013

Have you been tested for anemia?

I sleep like crap and am moderately anemic, so I am not surprised that I feel tired most of the time.

nortonmol · August 2013

I was also going to ask about anemia. They found out I was anemic at my GD screen. I've been taking the iron supplements for 2 weeks and I feel like a new person.

I could go to bed at 7 and wake up at 11 everyday, with a nap in the afternoon. I think it's just the poor quality of sleep and all the things going on with me and my mind constantly running.

Run it by your doctor to see if they have any suggestions or recommendations.

mols228 · August 2013

I am tired all the time. My dr says that it's just pregnancy and running around after two little ones. My DH actually said to me today how exhausted I look, maybe I will get a nap in today:) Good luck!

mrsredmoose · August 2013

Are you sleeping at night? I'm beat all day, but I only get 5 hours on a good night. I actually went in late to work today b/c after I made DS breakfast I had to have DH take over so I could crawl back in bed for 15 minutes. Exhaustion and insomnia are no fun.

mols228 · August 2013

Oh and also, I have found that staying hydrated helps a little.

I feel like a zombie.

I'm like this. I'm not anemic, but I've always been a sleeper. I sleep at night but I also toss and turn to get comfy plus disrupted sleep from getting up to pee 3-4 times a night.

Weljadraak · August 2013

Not really. I cap out earlier than usual at the end of the night (BF has put me to bed a few times lol), but other than that...about 8:30PM to 5:30AM, I'm asleep.

MissLauraPants · August 2013

I am always tired and have been this entire pregnancy and I have no problems sleeping or any tests coming back weird...

KerCo51 · August 2013

This week I am, but I haven't been sleeping much at all. I had about 5 hours of very interrupted sleep last night.

norbert5 · August 2013

I have been tired this entire pregnancy. Midwife blames chasing two toddlers because all tests come back normal.

NatesCupcake47 · August 2013

I've been exhausted the past two weeks. I haven't been sleeping as much at night because I get up to go to the bathroom so much and have trouble falling back to sleep. We added a second fan in our bedroom two nights ago and I've tried some visualization/breathing techniques to help me get back to sleep and that's really been helping.

EmJ&B · August 2013

I am and I'm not anemic.

I wake up about every 90 mins to pee - even if I've limited fluid in the evenings.

carawasa · August 2013

i was saying this today. i'm exhausted all the time and i get a lot of sleep...maybe it's too much or just because it's not great sleep.

MySunshine213 · August 2013

I get 8 hours of sleep at night, on average. Of course it hasn't been the greatest quality sleep, between waking up to pee or take Tums :-/

Jenball717 · August 2013

So tired. Usually in the afternoons. It's awesome, just another of those fun pregnancy symptoms. I was with dd1 as well. As soon as I was home from work I would sleep until it was time for bed, and then I would sleep all night.

BabyP10312 · August 2013

I'm tired all day! I have low iron though. If I don't eat every hour and a half I get even more exhuasted. I am curently taking 2 naps a day. It does help me to do yoga or swim.

Michellepiner · August 2013

I am exhausted all day. I will fall asleep on the couch and DH will wake me up to move to bed and I lay there wide eyed and bushy tailed wanting to talk to him haha. My sleep schedule is so jacked up and LO kicking and turning all night long doesn't help. It's just par for the course in my opinion. Oh and my OB said I am "anemic by pregnancy standards, but not regular standards" whatever that means...but did not direct me to take any iron supplements.

amber0529 · August 2013

I am exhausted all the time also. I think it's a combination of working so much where I'm on my feet all day & waking up constantly at night because my back hurts so bad. I seem to sleep better during the daylight when I get the chance though. It's strange to me.

I am the same way. Certain days I have way more energy, but for the most part, I am completely exhausted...

Life is Exciting · August 2013

Zzz.......zzzzzz......zzzz.... Falling asleep while bumping.

CherryHolly · August 2013

Always tired. I think it is this stage of pregnancy, the poor sleep at night, the waking up to pee every hour to two, the need to move due to pain every hour or so and hormones...I am on iron supplements, but they don't seem to work. Plus, add in the insomnia and I am just plain exhausted.

hawtness21 · August 2013

Just started a part time job so I try to get 8 hours of sleep at night but doesn't help with LO moving around. I also have to be the one acting like a air traffic controller at my house just to make sure everyone is up, fed and schedules are not conflicting. I try to nap on my days off but I catch up on my housework. Before I took my new job I was always sleeping. It didn't help when DH's alarm would go off at 5 am and I was in bed no later than 11 pm.

mrsturner012007 · August 2013

I am tired all the time too! It's not fun.

Staceylynn602 · August 2013

I have been extremely exhausted, lethargic and sluggish lately. Found out today that I'm severely anemic and have to start prescription iron 3 times a day. Anyone else on that much iron? Seems like a lot to me!

feenstas · August 2013

Yep. I'm could sleep 24/7. I'm anemic though. I've been on supplements for two weeks, but I haven't seen much improvement yet. Good luck!

I'm the same way! I woke up at 5am to pee, and couldn't fall back to sleep.

I'm on one Vitron C pill per day. I'm getting my blood drawn at my next appointment, and if I'm still anemic, my doctor told me she'll have me start taking two.
