Battling Fatigue?

I'm 26 weeks with twins and for the last 3-4 days or so it takes all my energy just to stay awake!  Did anybody deal with extreme fatigue around this time?  I had read (for singleton) that it was normal in the 3rd tri, but I'm not there yet.  I'm okay dealing with it now (spending a lot of time napping or just resting) but I return to work on Wednesday and don't know how I'll manage working 40+ hours a day being this fatigued.  Suggestions on battling the fatigue would be greatly appreciated!!

    I'm 27 weeks and it seems like the fatigue really kicked in a few days ago. It takes all my energy to just get thru the day and I'm not even working. I definitely didn't have this exhaustion with my singleton pregnancy.

    I remember hitting the "fatigue wall" around 25 weeks -- it took all my energy to stay awake, eventually I just caved and took multiple naps a day. Not sure if there is anything you can do to fight the fatigue during a work day but I wish you luck!

    Ya, youre definitely not alone. I, too, hit the fatigue wall right around 26-27 weeks. It was horrible. Im now 32w4d and Im still feeling it. I hit a "tired" wall with my two previous singleton pregnancies but that was nothing compared to what I have felt this trimester. No advice or suggestions, sorry, but good luck. Youre definitely not alone.

    Ask them to check your iron levels and eat more iron rich goods and fibre! Drinks lots of water and rest!!

    I'm 23 w with mono/di twins and fatigue has hit me this week! I've never felt so exhausted in my life. I've been going to bed early and it doesn't seem to help. Almost didnt make it out of bed this morning do work.
