Exhaustion

small vent:
I am exhausted all of the time. It takes effort just to hold my head up to write this. I am 37 weeks, have a broken foot and am on disability. Is this normal? Shouldn't I be nesting? I could sleep all day, I don't want to socialize, I'm rarely hungry and it's kind of starting to freak me out. Has anyone else had extreme fatigue like this?

    not alone at all... Im still working though, and so exhausted I dread every day. I have heard though it can be a sign that labor is near... your body is having you store up energy so you are ready to deliver. Here's to hoping!!!

    I am dead tired. I had my shower this weekend and had several people come for the weekend. I love my people. I didn't get to enjoy them as much as I really wanted to. But I feel loved and supported :)
    Now it is Monday and I'm dragging myself through the day. I could cry from the exhaustion and from the growing list of things I need to do today, this week... I want my pillow!!!

    I just messaged my doula about this today because I'm worn out.  I wish I had the energy to nest, I'm doing things out of needing to get it done not because I feel like I should.  I'm 36 week and a teacher and I'm dead 5 minutes after getting out of bed.  I would much rather be at home then dealing with these kids every day.  I haven't even started my lessons for when I'm out either.  

    You are not alone!

    Thanks ladies. I make myself leave the house for at least one errand a day and try to see someone for lunch or coffee to keep busy and not become a couch potato, but yesterday I gave into it. Today I had lunch with my dad and will be attempting to build the bassinet. If this is a sign of pre-labor, bring it on! Haha

    I am a teacher, too! I made plans for the next few weeks, but decided to stay a bit longer. Now I am using those emergency lessons ahead of time...I will need to make more. I teach high school and do not have a planning this year ( really small school)! I am so ready to go on maternity leave, but I want to save more money. I only have one sick day left. I used them all for appointments and issues in early pregnancy. I wish women in the USA were given a paid maternity leave. At least we get the summer! I cannot wait. I keep counting down the days until I can sleep in and recover from carrying this big baby bump!

    I've been coming home and napping during my lunch hour to make it through the afternoon.

    You are not alone at all. I've been feeling exhausted as well. I'm a FTM and am 36 weeks today. Honestly I could stay in bed all day, but have dogs so they get me up each morning :) If I didn't have them home with me, I'm not sure what time I would get out of bed each day. I just started my maternity leave yesterday so I'm hoping that being able to take naps throughout the day will help my energy levels.

    I'm also 36 weeks today - no idea how I'll get thru the next 4 weeks at work. I sleep an hour at a time and am up to 3 pees a night. I wake up exhausted. I'm also stressing that baby might have flipped heads up so my yoga mat has a permanent place in the fam room so I can do lots of inversions.

    I'm 36.5 weeks and I pray everyday that my toddler sleeps in so I can rest too! I'm just basically SURVIVING these days and I'm okay with that, there's not much I can do since I'm soooooo exhausted!!!!
