does anyone else feel incredibly tired all the time?

kate015 · May 2015

I'm due on June fourth and lately I've barely been able to get out of my own way. Simple tasks like doing the dishes feels never ending and frankly I just don't want to do chores anymore, I just want to sleep! I've kind of chopped it up to just pregnancy jitters and getting nervous about our little boy getting here, I've also been really irritable with everyone. Does anyone else feel this way? Is it normal?

OnWayto3 · May 2015

Yes, yes, yes! I'm so exhausted; I lack energy for just about anything, punctuated by moments of feeling like the energizer bunny. This is in part because I can't sleep very well at night. Grrr... People say this is Nature's way of preparing us for many sleepless nights when Baby arrives. I say I don't need prep time already!

Yes I am right there with ya momma! Imagine having a toddler to chase around plus all of the household chores lol. It is normal

I rest when I want and when I get the energy to clean, I clean!

KaLikeAWind · May 2015

Yes. Tired. All the time. If you check the daily symptoms thread you'll see you're not alone in this

Always!! I'm due June 1st and I feel so done. I have 4 kids and this is my 5th and i just want to sleep. But it doesn't happen lol

thay33 · May 2015

Yes! I am due June 2nd I feel like I am just always so so tired. I've been waiting for this "nesting" I've been reading about lol

NicoleBurroughs12 · May 2015

Yes I am extremely tired all the time now. And very short tempered. They got my order wrong at McDonalds and I flipped. I'm usually very relaxed and friendly. Lol

This has become the story of my life lately.

It is normal, but you may want to have your iron levels checked. I thought I was having normal tiredness and had dangerously low iron. I had to have iron infusions. Just FYI!

kcl283 · May 2015

All the time! I'm teaching 5th graders, who have already started to check out and then chasing a 3yo around when I get home and she has been incredibly irritable lately. She knows that things are going to change in the next couple of weeks once baby sister arrives on June 1. Not that it will get any easier but come on baby girl #2! We want to meet you!

Yeah, chasing a toddler really knocks me for a loop, but I get tired sitting down at work, too.

paige0704 · May 2015

I cant imagine having a toddler to chase after because i will sleep through the night wake up eat breakfast and then i am ready to go back to sleep. I cant stand how tired i am and still have 7 more weeks! Ugh

This is exactly how I feel. 7 more weeks sounds like a lifetime! Hang in there, you're not Alone.

bowloforanges1327 · May 2015

I have been off work for the last month and it has gotten way to easy to sleep instead of getting things done.

SethAndLinds · May 2015

Due June 9th and working full time almost until my due date...I'm exhausted! Every day at a certain point I hit a brick wall and just want to sleep! I'm with you!

mrskelly923 · May 2015

Scheduled c for June 11 .. Work full time and come home to a 2 year old! Sleep is for the birds! But on the more positive note I truly believe my 2 year old is helping with my weight gain! I am doing much better the second time around

rklinge0 · May 2015

Tired all the time. But you may want your iron checked if you are really worried about it. My friend hit 3rd trimester and they finally checked hers. She was anemic.

bosleyb · May 2015

I am exhausted all of the time but I also when hospitalized three weeks ago (just got out today) had extremely low iron levels. Had they been any lower they would have had to do infusions. So I started on iron pills but they said it could take up to three months to get back to normal levels. :-(

spacemav · May 2015

Yea i am with u. Im due june 12 and recently ive been super exhausted. It takes me at least 2x as long to get anything done and 10x as long to actually get myself to get up and do it.

spacemav · May 2015

I feel like my nesting happened in second trimester with all that boosted energy

spacemav · May 2015

Should i be concerned even if im taking prenatal vitamins? Do they check for iron normally or u have to let the doctor know?

Emilywooddesign · May 2015

I can't even imagine having to work full time and taking care of other children! My Mum came over today and I had her take my dog home with her because I cannot walk her 4 times a day anymore. I have 3 weeks left and living is a struggle

mrsknight128 · May 2015

I feel the same way. Don't have the energy to do chores or normal day to day things like I did even just a few weeks ago. I'm at 36 weeks and I just wanna get this birth over with! Lol
