Still tired?

So, I was expecting some miracle to occur when I reached the 2nd tri that I would have this burst of energy. Yeah, it didn't happen. I can barely make it through 8 hours of work some days. Anyone else feeling like this?

Re: Still tired?

  • Yup, I was right there with you. They ended up doubling my thyroid meds after my TSH came back high.

  • I have been really good this 2nd tri up until this past week. For some reason I'm exhausted! I'm blaming it on winter blues/no sun/holiday shopping and stress! I wonder why I live in Wisconsin these days.

  • I'm exhausted. No burst of energy yet and I could use one with everything that needs to be done before Christmas.

  • *raises hand* I was hoping for the second trimester miracle too but no go. Insomnia and chasing around a toddler don't help though either.
  • I've had lots of energy from around 11 weeks until this past week - I'm wondering if baby is going through a growth spurt?

  • I had been feeling really good and on Sunday it came back with a vengeance. I went out to Peet's to study for a final and I came home an hour later and told my DH "I don't know what's wrong with me, I need a nap right now." and he was like, "You're pregnant...?" Oh yeah, that.

  • Same here! I was doing great and this week I've napped every afternoon (I work 6-2). I'm 20wks and thought I would be golden but nope, no energy. I'm also a thirst monster :/

  • Depends in the day and how active I was at work. I teach k so some days I'm on my feet a lot running around, cleaning making copies, just normal stuff but it drains me quick. Other days aren't as bad. Yesterday I came home and fell asleep on the couch at 630 woke up at 1030ish and just went to bed. It felt great.

    All my thyroid levels are still in range of course!!

    I hate that you other mommas are feeling as sluggish as me, but at least we know we're alone.
  • Yes. Sleepy all the time still.

    Glad I'm not the only one - my husband made fun of me for sleeping so much to begin with!

  • So glad to hear I'm not the only one! I'm exhausted! And the insomnia surely isn't helping.

    My diet still isn't the best, due to continuing food aversions, so I started thinking today that maybe it's anemia? Or, maybe it's normal and I'm a hypochondriac :)

  • Still exhausted here and I still am getting seriously sick thank you very much Hyperemesis. Maybe the silver lining is that all this exhaustion will mean we will be able to sleep in the 3rd trimester. I remember that was really hard last time

  • I'm not working and I'm exhausted all of the time
  • The last few weeks I've had a few days of great energy (although I think it's probably just the same as pre-pregnancy energy, it just feels like a lot in comparison). But it's always followed by a few days of dragging ass. Hopefully the good days will become more frequent soon.

  • I feel like I got a little bit of energy back but not much. I'm not crawling into bed as soon as I get home work anymore but by the time supper is done my eyes are pretty droopy.

  • I felt like I was maybe moving into the more energy phase but then I fell asleep after dinner at 5:30...and yes I eat dinner at an early hour as if I was 80 years old.

  • I have a little more energy than first tri but I'm still exhausted.

  • I recommend tylenol PM for some good sleep. Puts me right out and my OB said use as much as needed.
