Exhausted & Nervous

I am currently 35 weeks with baby #2. I don’t remember my first pregnancy being so hard. This go around I feel so exhausted at this point, physically baby feels so heavy and is so low, I get random dizzy spells (granted it is summer) and overall just feel like complete crap. I try to be pretty positive and optimistic for birth, but if I’m being completely honest I’m super nervous this time because I feel like I won’t have the energy to achieve the birth I want. Any veteran mamas have some words of encouragement ? Advice? 

Re: Exhausted & Nervous

  • I’ve been exhausted as well and yesterday got some weird dizzy spells. It’s been so hot everywhere I’m sure we aren’t drinking enough even if we think we are. I’m going to up my liquid intake today. As far as exhaustion, give yourself grace! I honestly spend most of my day in bed or in a chair. I get about one thing done a day. It’s HARD to grow a human and for me thia pregnancy has been much harder because I’m much older!
    Take it moment by moment, day by day, but remember that growing a human isn’t easy and you’re doing the best you can!
