exhaustion ...

Obviously we're all exhausted but I was wondering if anyone else is feeling completely exhausted all the time?

The first few weeks with DD I was FTM tired. When I went back to work (full-time) at the end of August I felt surprisingly well rested most days. The past few weeks I've gone downhill. I'm totally exhausted, I feel like a zombie at work, I can't wait till DD is down so I can pass out. Anyone else feeling similar?

    Also I'm EBF and DH works nights so I'm always on night duty (but that's been since day 1)

    Ahhh I'm gonna go with no lol! I had an IUD put in at my 6 week PP checkup. We didn't have sex till around week 9-10 PP (they said to wait 10 days after IUD is put in place). I'm also EBF so that lowers the likelihood.

    Yeah that's on my list of things to do! I'm wondering if when I first was back to work if I was still riding the baby high!

    Maybe this will be helpful, maybe not but I was feeling run down for a while even though I felt like things were going well and I was getting enough rest. Turns out I've been fighting an infection and was totally unaware. Wish I would have caught it earlier but I had no other signs beside feeling overly tired.

    Just in case that might be it for you. Off course it took blood work and urine test to find this out.

    Was your infection birth/baby related?

    Yup, due to the baby/birth. And everything went very well. Vaginal with no tearing or any other complications, so that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Hope you figure this out!

    I was feeLing the same way. I was so exhausted I almost felt drunk. I moved my bed time up, started my vitamin regimen back up, upped my protein and started taking more iron. It's definitely helped.

    I'm feeling exhausted but I know it's sleep deprivation related. My allergies are so bad right now it takes a while for things to settle si I can sleep. Then about that time LO is hungry. I can't seem to get all the stuff done I need to at night so I can't get to bed earlier.

    I'm sure its my iron. I've always had low iron issues. I've been bad and haven't taken it since I was 4weeks PP. I need to get back on the bandwagon!

    You could check into your thyroid levels, low energy and being tired is a symptom of an under active thyroid.
