Where has my energy gone?

Fizzy8 · August 2013

I've been feeling pretty good energy wise until yesterday, now all I wanna do is sleep. It's 2pm here and I'm still in my pjs. I feel guilty cause I haven't gone to work today, I have no intention of doing the housework, I'm gonna be letting my friend down later cause I arranged to go round for food, I can't even get up the energy to have a bath. Is it just a bit of a growth spurt? Anyone else feeling like this?

My energy is crazy high or crazy low. Right now I can't get my brain to focus on anything. In a few hours, I'll probably be dancing down the halls at work. by 7:00 tonight I'm going to be falling asleep in the couch. I just can't get it together!

Im sorry your feeling like this :-( Yup every day, I wish I could cancel all my cakes and hibernate. Just frosting a cake is too much work.

I am the same, only I've been lacking energy for about two weeks now. I am not going to work today either and I feel like total shit. My Dr tested my thyroid and results came back normal, so I'm guessing the baby is just growing and taking all of our energy. Regardless, it sucks. I work on my feet and I can barely stand for more than a few minutes at a time with out feeling winded.

Hope you feel better soon, Fizz!

It's hideous! I'm hoping its temporary, cause I can't cope with this, I've got stuff to do! Was wondering whether to ask my midwife to check my iron levels or do you think it's literally just a growth spurt?

You should have some of my pork, it would make you feel better

If I'm not exhausted by 6 pm then I'm on the couch with back pain. I'm useless in the evenings.

I have no energy either! I feel like I've taken 10 benadryl. It's all I can do to go outside to let the kids play! It sucks!

I felt like crap for the first 15 weeks then I felt alright for a bit, thought it was great! Now I feel like I've run a marathon or something.
Need. Food. Need. Sleep.

Ugh I feel ya, I've only been out of bed for an hour and I'm already ready to fall back asleep

I have 2 weeks of really decent energy and then on day of eating and sleeping, I suppose on that one day the baby is really growing so he needs all my energy.

I feel the same. DH had to take over doing the dishes last night, because I was completely drained and my back started hurting.

This! I have been soooo tired and I'm 90% sure it's because of low iron levels. They told me at my 12w appointment that later in y pregnancy I'd probably need an extra iron supplement to avoid anemia. I just started taking one last week opposite of my prenatal (with a glass of OJ) and I already feel better.

Check your iron! LO might be siphoning you dry!!

I'm dragging today... I want to crawl under my desk and take a nap.

Yup I've been fine since about week 16 then last week, bang. Naps every day

At my last appt my iron was fine but I had a low platelet count. Haven't got another scheduled appt until I'm 25 weeks

could I just start taking iron supplements or should I wait and see the midwife first?
