I found that I had it with my first pg, but not the second. I think you only get 2nd tri energy if you don't have other kids to run around after. Pity, it would have been nice!
Antheia, I feel like I'm still waiting for it too!
For me, it was severe anemia. Even though I started to feel better after starting iron tablets, it wasn't enough, which was why I stayed tired. Doubling my iron tablets didn't help at all (levels were still scarily low according to my OB), and it's only now that I'm taking triple the normal dose of iron that we are starting to get somewhere. I've never been great at absorbing iron and my baby is an iron leach! It may be worth getting your iron levels checked again to see if they have come up enough or whether you need more iron like me.
I hope we both find some of this mythical energy soon!
Hi - yes be kind to yourself (I Hear an echo that someone said that to me around the same time .....) with two kids already - you forget how much you actually do. First time you can spend hours relaxing, strolling, indulging really - then with one, let alone two, time is scarce.
Try some acupuncture perhaps for energy and keeping everything flowing and unblocked??? Worked in making me feel more human again ....
Antheia - I was just saying the same thing to a work colleague this morning! I think first time round it's so much easier to reat and take it easy. This time I seem to be absolutely flat out! I know, I need to start saying no to things.
I was exhausted until about 33 weeks pg, thats when I got my energy back! But of course my belly was so big then I couldn't do much. Just rest as much as you can, listen to your body.
