I'm exhausted starting late afternoon, but push through it because of work and having to care for my kids. Then I end up unable to sleep, like now, and am up way too late for my 6 am wakeup time.
I'm on the 'my sleep cycle is screwed' train. I have a nap (sometimes 2) for several hours during the day. Then can't fall asleep until midnight or 1am. But I can't make it without my nap. I fall asleep while doing anything.
I'm exhausted all the time. Until around 11pm when my body decides it can't sleep, but instead wants to think about anything and everything until about 3 am when I finally clunk out. I wake up and am exhausted all day until 11pm, it's an evil cycle :-S
Yep. Always. I don't think I've seen 10:00PM in at least a week. I've seen a lot of 2:00AMs though as something always manages to wake me and keep me up for a while these days...
Constantly. All the time. I'm never NOT tired actually. It's hard enough just being pregnant much less being pregnant with a 15 month old you have to chase around all day and taking full time classes.
My TCM practioner suggesting laying down for a few minutes after lunch everyday, or at least putting my head on my desk. I think it's helped me with fog that tends to set in the afternoon. But I haven't had any fatigue in my 2nd trimester that compares with the 1st. The 2nd picture in @MissyCee 's signature captures it perfectly!
I had plenty of energy first tri but for some reason second tri is kicking my ass. I growl with annoyance when I read my week-by-week tracker on my pregnancy app with the narrator saying "Enjoy your energy now because you're going to miss it in third tri!"
FUCK YOU!!! I miss my energy NOW and I do NOT want to think about how much worse it's going to get. All I can say is thank God 3rd tri is happening over the winter when I plan to just stay inside and sleep anyway. And I'm extremely grateful my family is making accommodations for me this Christmas so I don't have to travel all over hell and high water to please everyone.
Yes I am more exhausted at the end of the day than normal. I used to enjoy some alcoholic drinks with my hubby after putting our LO to bed and now I am lucky if I can get through one of our half hour shows before crashing!

I hear you. I hate all the " oo enjoy all the sex and feeling sexy!" stuff that is on every single week update. No, I don't feel sexy, no I don't have a raised libido, and no I am not suddenly the energizer bunny.
I feel useless 90% of the day. Then all of a sudden at bedtime I can't fall asleep. And of course my DS is at the age where nap time doesn't exist anymore. This no energy stuff is awful. Not falling asleep until 1 or 2, then being up at 7-730 is not my idea of kosher.
Yea im tired but i don't really recall it being any different from pre pregnancy really. I actually think because of the increase in my water intake (pre pregnancy i was lucky if i drank a full cup of water in an entire month) i think that has actually helped. That is truly something that scares the hell out of me about post pregnancy. I'm a super grumpy tired person. When I'm at home and im ready to sleep i freaking sleep lol with no regard for literally anything else at all that may need to be done or that i may have to do. Otherwise i just get evil. I'm fully aware of the fact that babies don't much care about what your sleep schedule is and i really really need to maybe sorta start practicing for what i can expect to happen once the baby gets here. My SO stays up until all hours of the damn night and morning so i know he will help a lot with random cryings and diaper changes but unfortunately he can't exactly breast feed lol but regardless i know that when the baby gets here i will get used to it and do what i need to do i just don't want to be so evil and take it out on my SO just cuz im tired and frustrated with a screaming hungry baby.

Wait, we're supposed to be feeling sexy, too? What? How?
I'm afraid my vagina is not interested, at all. With my crazy pelvic girdle pain, even spreading my legs a little causes me to wince. I can't even roll myself over without using all my upper body strength. I'm like a fucking turtle on its back.
I fourth and fifth the exhausted thing. I had a few good weeks during the early part of 2nd trimester and now I'm just toast.
I fall asleep at 11pm, can't wake up until 8am (except those lovely bathroom breaks 2-5 times a night), get home at 7 or 8, make dinner, walk the dogs at 9pm, try to watch a show with DH, make it through one if I'm lucky maybe two if then I'm like, sure I can watch this show I'm awake now...ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz before the opening credits sequence finishes.
I have so much I need to get done before the baby gets here and I'm not sure how that's going to happen -.-

Sex = NO.
