Very lethargic.

bingbongsmama · April 2014

I'm so tired all the time even though I'm getting sleep. Last night night I slept when LO did and got 7 hours broken up yet I'm still so tired. I'm taking iron supplements, don't know if its cause of the bleeding or part of recovering from the delivery? Im 3 weeks pp. Anyone else feeling this way?

I tend to be extra tired if I'm woken in the middle of deep sleep (as opposed to lighter parts of a sleep cycle). Even though you're getting a decent amount, the frequent wake ups may mean that you're not getting quality sleep. Do you nap? That helps me a lot.

Seconded. At 3 weeks pp I couldn't stay awake for more than a few hours at a time (luckily LO agreed)

I felt that way around 3 weeks too. Your body is still recovering too. Plus sometimes DS wakes up in the middle of a deep sleep cycle and then I'm exhausted the next day.

Welcome to parenthood? I'm going on 6 years of feeling lethargic.

THIS! Been lethargic for 1072 days! Or about 3 years, however you want to look at it.

You are still recovering plus you are still adjusting to less sleep...those together don't lead to a lot of energy! Give yourself time. You will eventually adjust and need less and lighter sleep. I don't think I've slept through the night since dd was born in June 2011! She sleeps but I get up when she makes noise and I check the monitor. I think part of being a parent is just being tired. That's why parents only like to hang out with other parents...it's a big club of delirious exhausted people!
