Just wondering how everyone else going with the tiredness. It has reappeared over the last two weeks and am struggling to keep my eyes open in the evenings. Unfortunately I can't take a "nanna" nap during the day as I'm at work.
What time are you managing to keep awake till in the evenings? Or am I just being a pathetic sook?
Also any suggestions to make it less severe or it is just "one of those things"..
You not alone, my exhaustion has returned in the last 2 weeks aswell! Im just trying to rest when I can and go to bed early! Hoping for another second wind before Bub comes or I wont get much done the rest of the pregnancy!
Yep, it's happened to me ~ though I'm a shift worker, so I have been tired through my whole pregnancy - it's just gotten a whole lot worse again now. I wake up feeling like I need to go back to sleep (with the heavy eyes) even after I've just woken up from 8-9hours of sleep
I was very tired and exhausted for the first 3 months or so...then i had 2 months of being fine, and lasting the whole day through...and now...i hit 22 weeks and im feling the tiredness again....
I can sleep in til 9.30 in the morning, get up, start housework, and be yawning by lunchtime. I try not to nap, as it usually makes me more tired.
By dinner im getting tired and sore eyes, and by 8.30-9...im in bed...
I thought it may be over sleeping, but if i get up at 7am...im even worse off...so im making the most of my 9.30 sleepins...
oh dear i'm not even as far along as you ladies and i'm the same.
I got about a 4 week reprieve from wk 12 to 16 where i wasn't constatnly exhausted... but a fortnight ago i just became so very very tired.
I sleep 10 to 11 hours a night. Go to bed about 7.30pm and read til 8.30pm at the latest. then lights out. I wake up between 6 and 7am and within 20 mins feel like i could have a whole other night's sleep immediately. But i always get up cos i idon't want to get over tired iykwim? i also just wake up by myself, not with an alarm.
i also work full time and am struggling. luckliy my boss usually lets me run away early and i can get a kip in.
it is a massive issue for me too. there's just nothing i can do about being tired. I"m also at risk for GD so am trying to do 20-30mins walk a day, which i do as soon as i'm home from work.... then i'm zonked.
you are not being a sook Meadsie - it's is soo so so difficult battling fatigue, holding down a full time job and then doing the rest of life's requiremtns (housework, cooking, staying healthy et al).
I had to throw my job in, only because i had a new 23 year old boss, who was the biggest b****
I had a medical certificate for bad back pain, and she was sending me down to unload pallets and cool rooms...I was in so much pain and stress, id go home depressed and crying.
DP kept telling me to quit, but i wouldnt listen...i kept worrying about money, and how to afford rent, and bills...then my boss started putting me on weird shifts... i was getting 3pm til midnight shifts, and not getting home til like 12.30-1 am.
Then id be put on 6am-3pm shifts....it was killing me...
I eventually lost it, and threw it in one day.
Its been great being at home, so much time to get ready for bub and do housework...dp loves it cause he sees me more, and has his dinner on the table
Sometimes i feel like a bum, but its really a matter of it getting too much.
Mind you, not working has its disadvantages, which is that the pregnancy seems to take so much longer, and i find myself sitting at home, waiting for each week to go by...I just want my bubba
