Extremely Weak & Tired - 14 weeks

in March 2015 Moms
Hey all, I'm just wondering why I feel this way. I am only able to clean my house so much and then I have to lay down for awhile. I try and psych myself up to continue cleaning, and it never seems to happen. I also periodically feel nausea but no vomiting. I'm constantly yawning and my eyes feel heavy. I read that this could be my blood sugar levels or a possible iron deficiency? I take my prenatals every day. What are your thoughts? I haven't cleaned my 3 bathrooms in weeks due to this, and it's stressing me out lol!

    If it's that bad, see your doctor. We can't tell you. Sounds like pregnancy to me.

    Your doctor should be able to tell you if anything you are feeling is abnormal. I know I'm always tired... So tired i've started to hate my job lol, it's like a welcome to pregnancy gift from my baby ;)

    Have you been tested for low iron yet? I'm extremely anemic and that's one of the symptoms

    Me to! Isn't this just a part of pregnancy? If you're worried then talk to your doctor. I personally feel like a very pathetic person because of how exhausted I feel or how often I feel nausea, but that's just a part of it. Creating a human is hard work!

    It is normal though I know it really sucks. This pregnancy is much more exhausting for me than my last and some days I feel very weak and tired and then have to chase around my toddler anyhow! If you are worried it is something else, ask your doctor, but I'm will to bet you're just experiencing one of the...joys...of pregnancy.

    Thanks for the quick replies ladies! No I haven't been tested for low iron, but I will definitely do so! Haha yes it does take a lot to grow a human. I don't remember being this way with my now 5 year old son in the second trimester. I guess every pregnancy is different though. I had debilitating morning sickness the first trimester with him, and haven't thrown up at all with this one yet.

    Hmm...you're pregnant! :) Or it could be your thyroid if it's not iron deficiency anemia.

    They should do some blood work on you around 12 weeks to see if there's any iron deficiency, anything wrong with your thyroid etc....if not, then I'd get it checked, but it does sound like a normal pregnancy thing... It sucks but it'll get better!

    You're manufacturing a human being! It's hard work! I slept through most of my first trimester, felt like I had mono. At 15 weeks I'm just getting to the point where I don't need daily naps.

    Drink lots of water, get as much rest as life allows, and try to enjoy the fun bits of this adventure!

    I feel the same way. My kitchen and bathrooms have never looked worse and I have zero guilt about it. :)

    Don't you just love pregnancy?! Just rest & drink lots of water until you have more info. I'm a zombie 24/7.

    Lol you guys just made my day with your comments! Thanks for the reassurance and the fact I'm not the only one with a disaster of a house lol! I did get my blood work and all that done at 12 weeks and haven't received a call back yet so I'm assuming that's a good thing... Hopefully!!

    Sounds like the symptoms associated with anemia. I was severely anemic at my first appointment (7 weeks). I've been on a lot of extra iron since then. Probably took a bit over a month before I started feeling better. Worth asking your dr.

    I also do not have the engery to clean anything, when I'm not working I'm sleeping. And so far all my iron/sugars look okay so for me it's just pregnancy symptoms. I'm also still nauseous all the time. hopefully you start to feel better soon!
