Where is your energy level?

I feel like my energy is leaving me the last week or so. I'm not due till the end of the month so everyone is further along. Where is your energy level? I don't remember starting to lose my energy with DS till the very end. This is going to make for a long third tri!!

Re: Where is your energy level?

  • I can feel myself slowing down. My energy is good in the mornings and I push to get things done in the afternoon/evenings but I crash at bedtime. I wish I could take a midday nap. It would probably help.

  • I felt my energy leave me and the constant exhaustion start right at the beginning of the third trimester.  I'm not quite as tired as in the first, but it's noticeably different than the second.  The heat is not helping!
  • I'm due at the beginning of the month. Definitely slowing down, tiring more quickly and with less effort, and achey all over. I tried taking a catnap today and found myself tired but too restless to sleep.
  • No matter how much sleep I get or my activity level, I'm drained.

  • So tired - then when I try to sleep it doesn't work
  • No energy before noon but that's probably because I wake up to pee and have a terrible time going back to sleep. Afternoon and evening I seem to do ok but the boy is hanging out pressing on nerves in my legs so my legs start tingling and feel partially numb. Oh and my feet! My feet are always sore and tired. 12 weeks left. 12 weeks left.
  • I am okay, last couple days I have been very active and realize I do need to slow down a bit bc I have been feeling very tired at the end of the day
  • Usually I'm good in the morning and try to get everything done because by 6pm I'm exhausted and he's usually got himself in my ribs so I can't breath and am really uncomfortable.
  • My energy level has tanked the last few days. I blame the heat though as it has been over 90 (today felt like 103). I am usually in bed by 9 pm. I still am sleeping poorly so I imagine that is part of it.

  • My energy is plummeting. I'm tiring and slowing down very quickly if I try to take things at my normal pace. I'm not really sleeping well anymore either. Waking up probably 5-7 times a night, and naps are pointless because I can rarely stay asleep longer than 10 minutes. Then I spend another half hour laying there feeling like I need to go back to sleep, but being unable to do so.






  • Mine is pretty much nonexistent.  :(  My husband noticed in church on Sunday when I wasn't singing -- I love to sing.  He asked me why I wasn't singing, and I had to laugh as I told him I simply didn't have the energy.  :)  12 more weeks!

  • I'm feeling okay. I'll have energy in the morning, start to lose it midday, then get it back smack in the middle of the night. It's a vicious cycle in a way!

  • It seemed like the day I hit my third trimester I started losing energy. Which is tons of fun considering we are in the process of moving from wa to co :(

  • I'm moving to CO from IL right now too and I have no energy and I'm anemic. Things are going very slowly right now. Have a little energy in am, usually done by afternoon but if I push through then my feet KILL me through the next day and I have trouble walking. Ugh
  • I get tired tying my shoes.

    My energy is so low that I only washed my body in the shower and left my hair dry. To combat the greasy hair, I opened up a care package we received for the baby that had baby powder in it (meant for the baby), and I used it on my greasy hair. Kind of a low point.

  • I'm starting to feel just as tired when I wake up as I did when I went to bed. I'm generally OK in the morning as long as I keep moving, but the evenings are getting to be pretty rough with exhaustion and being really sore.

    Mine was hideous a few weeks ago.  But at my GD screening, I guess they also drew blood to check my iron (I'm usually anemic anyway), so doc put me on a prescription iron supplement this time.  It helped a lot.  I'm not exactly energetic, but I don't feel like I'm going to die of exhaustion by noon :)

  • I haven't had any energy this whole pregnancy. I was never this tired with DD, I have to take a nap with her in the afternoon. It helps just enough to give DD a snack and get dinner cooked and clean up a little before DH gets home.
  • Uhhh I've had none this entire pregnancy. This could be due to chasing High energy toddler twins ;)

                              

  • I am good from the time I get up (6:30) until 12:30/1.  Thankfully, DS napes from about 1-3:30.  DD stopped taking naps months ago (she will be 4 in September).  She drives me NUTS in the afternoon....I have zero energy and zero patience.....
  • What energy?  I can barely chase DS now,  the next 13 weeks are going to be tough in this hot weather!

  • Exhausted the past few days.. Hoping it picks back up soon

    I've definitely noticed a dramatic drop in my energy level in the last few weeks. It's kind of disappointing because there is so much that I need to do, but by the time I'm off work I feel too exhausted to get anything done. Luckily, DH has been extremely helpful most nights!
  • My energy has dropped some but what's really killing me is my total lack of stamina. I'm out of breath just walking downstairs and back up.

  • I'm feeling pretty good. DD bday is on Monday so we went down to Orlando for the long weekend. Legoland Thursday, Disney Friday and Sea World on Saturday. Did them all and I'm a bit sore, but for the most part I was up and moving non stop....
  • I am completely out of energy. If I have any during the day, it's in the afternoon. I've been like that the whole time, but not as bad as the last couple of weeks. I hit third trimester on Monday. I got some extra sleep this weekend so we'll see what that does for my upcoming week in a busy call center. The more shit that I have to deal with, the more exhausted I become. Especially dealing with my boss's stupid comments on how long I've been pregnant, and how big I'm getting. With my due date on 9/29 & my RCS the week before, I'm glad I've only got ten weeks MAX before I take my leave. (I'm taking a week before the RCS to rest and prepare.) I love my children, but I don't really enjoy being pregnant. Thank Good this pregnancy is almost over. I can't wait to hold my baby girl. :-}
  • I'm due at the end of September ... And I'm already losing my energy too... Noticing that I'm slowing down at work a lot too by the end of the work day I am in so much pain from being on my feet got twelve straight hours ... Glad it's only three days per week
  • I have zero energy from the time I wake up in the morning till I fall asleep. Chasing a one year old around all day and doing stuff around the house is a lot of work being 29 weeks pregnant! Oofda!!!!
  • I have been pretty tired throughout my pregnancy, although I have gotten a burst of energy with my 3rd trimester. The only problem now is when the temps are up above 90 with high humidity...Then I have absolutely no energy at all!!
  • I keep thinking I don't know how I'll do this again if we try for #2. I am so freaking tired. I think I take 2 naps a day. Can't sleep worth a flip at night, but I drag around all day until I crash.
  • I have zero energy anymore. It may have to do with the fact that it is 3 am here and I'm wide awake.

  • No energy. Don't even have energy to knit, which I love. Worry about how I am going to nest with no energy. :-(
