What happened to my energy?!

lauralou3x3 · February 2014

Oiy vey. During my first trimester, I was SOOOO tired all the time. Doesn't help that I have chronic fatigue. Once I entered my second trimester, my energy picked up a bit. Now I'm almost into my third and my energy level is where it was during the first! Ahhh. I can't imagine how you STM make it!

Tell me I'm not alone. Bah Humbug!

I am on the same boat...was sleeping way early at dinnertime in the first trimester and then felt a good energy rush in the second...come third I felt that I get drained easily. Just met the nurse practitioner and she told me that I had low iron from my monday's blood test

. So iron supplements. I am guessing that's the reason for the tiredness. I have never been anemic all my life. Guess LO is taking all the nutrition

Yes, I have felt the same way this week. I can barely make it through my afternoon without a nap!

That's what I thought the reason for mine is. So my doctor had me start taking iron since my PNV has none. But haven't had recent bloodwork done. I'm not concerned just want to have my energy back!

Yah this. Mine left even before I knew I was pregnant (started getting winded right away) and never came back.

I'm a STM, my daughter is 1. It's definitely harder being pregnant with a lil one on the move! Some days I barely make it! I might as well get used to being exhausted since I'll have 2 under 2. Yikes!!

My energy must have gone wherever yours did!!!! I stay drained... After like the first 2 hours of the day! I'm anxious about the remainder of pregnancy given these energy levels!

This was my thought. I never got my energy back with my first pregnancy or this one.

I never got the energy rush of 2nd tri. I was just tired instead of exhausted. Now I'm in 3rd tri and exhausted again.

Cupcakes89 · February 2014

I feel like I sleep more in the 2nd then I did in the 1st.. though I was tired for both, im sure the 3rd wont be good...

This past week I have been beyond exhausted no matter how early I go to bed or how long of a nap I take...it's awful.

Some of you had energy?

Lies. I refuse to believe this.

I never got my energy back in the 2nd trimester, so I can't really relate. But agreed that I don't know how STMs do ANY of this pregnancy stuff!

Yeah I never got a big rush, it just got a little better. I envy those women who go go go during pregnancy!
