Still Getting Tired in the 2nd Trimester?

NYJodwayNYJodway member
in April 2014 Moms
Does anyone else still get really tired sometimes?  Admittedly, I definitely have more energy now than I did in my first trimester, but I still have occasions during which I am just wiped out and need to take a nap.  Then there are days like today, when I was tired much of the day and did nothing but bump and facebook and watch movies, and take a couple of shorter naps. 

I know I'm not sleeping well at night, which could be contributing to the situation, but I'm wondering if anyone else still gets tired like this.

    Yup. Unfortunately it hangs around the whole pregnancy, just isn't as intense (at least not for me)

    OK, good (that it's not freakish, not that you have to deal with it, too).  I was starting to think there was something off with me. 

    Thanks for answering!

    Same here. I had loads of energy yesterday. I couldn't drag myself out of bed this morning. Have been feeling bad all day. All I can think about is getting into bed after DS goes down. And cookies. I really want cookies.

    I am still exhausted most of the time. I'm sure chasing after a toddler doesn't help.

    I def still fatigued often. Occasionally I still go to bed at 7 (right after work) then sleep straight through till I have to go back the next day. I also usually have a hard time doing anything after working a full 8 hour day.

    I take a nap every day when DS sleeps and usually spend 30-40 minutes every morning dozing on the couch while he plays on his own too. I am exhausted all the time.

    Unisom has worked wonders for helping me sleep, and a good nights sleep has given me a lot more energy in the last month or so! I do, however, still need my full 9 hours a night or you don't want to mess with me the next day ;)

    Hardly any energy. Usually bw 4-7pm is where I have ANY energy. With my singletons it wasn't like that. Twins are making me tired constantly. It's hard to get out of the house bc I'm exhausted.

    I can relate. I am 20 weeks and still get very sleepy. Also my husband has a strange work schedule and is extremely talkative when he gets home from work. At 2 to 3 am sometimes. So my sleep schedule really doesn't exist. Every man (or woman) for himself in my home. It will be nice to have him home at 2-3 am and so energetic when the baby is born. He can do those late night feedings/ diaper changes etc. YAY!

    Thank you all for responding.  It really does make me feel a lot better to know that this isn't some sort of abnormal situation.

    I've never stopped getting tired. I can hardly make it through the day.

    Today was definitely that kind of day for me, @Sisimama10.  I thought about putting pajamas on and going back to bed at like 5pm.

    I take naps on the weekends every Saturday and Sunday with DD. On the weekdays I don't even know what to do with myself. When my preschoolers are napping at work I am struggling to stay awake. I'm crabby and exhausted by 4:30 and can hardly make dinner and get myself and DD ready for bed. On the weekdays I pass out every night by 8:30 or so.

    Same here. It's rare that I sleep through the night (between the peeing & DH snoring) so I'm up by 6 am (everyday and weekends) and want to crash and burn by 2 pm. My DH doesn't get it, so he's always annoyed when he wants to do something and I'm exhausted. But yes, still tired on a daily basis!!

    Napping is necessary! I'm less tired than I was, but this whole weekend I was dragging. The almost constant darkness doesn't help either. :-D

    Totally tired! I work 40 hrs a week and wake up about every 1-2 hours every night. I think it's my body's way of preparing me for a newborn. How foolish of me to think I would get so much done this weekend. All I have done is broken in our couh a bit more and cleared out the pantry :-)
