Sudden exhaustion? :/

I was just wondering if any other moms out there are feeling like me. I've been energetic and active throughout my entire pregnancy, and just stopped working at my very demanding waitressing job last week. For the past several days I become exhausted after just a couple of hours of being awake, even if I haven't done anything but relax on the couch and eat. What is going on? All I want to do is sleep my days away...I feel so worthless and lazy! I hate it because I still have a lot of things I'd like to do before baby gets here...I'm due in 4 days. Could this be a sign of impending labor or is it normal? 

Re: Sudden exhaustion? :/

  • Totally normal! When you're out and about it distracts you and you keep going! On all those snow days we had here in NY, and I was home from work, I felt exactly the same way!

  • I totally agree with @ttc11786 ... While I'm out and about I'm perfectly fine. But get me home and I'm dead. It might help to still get going every day, like have a to do list ect. But that being said... Take this time to rest and sleep if you can! You'll need that energy when you're baby is up all night. :)

    I'm all there!
    To be honest tomorrow I'm 39 weeks and although everyone is asking me if I'm anxious I just shrug and say "no" people seem surprised! Why!? They ask, because I have no energy!!!

    I wish I started having a sudden burst of energy right before the baby comes ;;)

    Today I had a crazy burst of energy! I woke up, got super dressed for work, did my hair and makeup for real, and then when I got home I changed the linens on my bed and made it all pretty with throw pillows and all! Then I asked DH if we could go out for dinner with DD and we did!
    Now I'm having contractions and I just lost my mucus plug- I am so uncomfortable and my back is killing! Did way too much!
    Need to just chill out tonight and relax in my pretty bed ;)

    Oh and I'm 38+4
  • @ttc11786 they say that's a sign of soon to be labor! I had a burst of energy today too. Now I'm exhausted. lol. Going to go lay down. #:-S
  • @ttc11786 are you due the 22nd too? I'm 38+4 as well. At least that's what my app says. :-??
  • I am so exhausted... And emotional... And in pain all over! I literally wake up and want to take a nap after 2 hours lol. Can't wait til LO is here bc then it'll at least remind me why I feel like such crap and be worth it.
  • I have been exhausted my entire pregnancy. Total opposite of the way I felt with DS! Can't wait for my little girl to get here so I get some energy back! Is it the 23rd yet?
  • I've been exhausted for awhile but I woke up today with an urge to clean/ organize. It's like I'm on speed or drank too much coffee. I'm hoping this means labor will start soon but not getting my hopes up ;-)
