    do you feel like this??

    Lately ive been feeing soo lethargic, easily irritated, tired, weak and breathless but this is all only during the day, when it gets to around 5-6pm i get this burst of energy and I just wanna do stuff, i feel like im bein a terrible mummy coz im just so irritable and feel so crappy that i dnt even feel like talking and my head feels really dizzy and im napping on the couch on and off from like 10am.

    When the energy comes i just wanna get rid of it so ill clean and cook and clean and play and clean and wanna move stuff around in the house. Its crazy..

    Do you feel this way?

    I'm not pregnant at the moment, but yeah I do remember those bursts of energy, where I'd 'nest' like crazy, demanding dh move the furniture around yet again while I marched around like some sort of drill sergeant.

    If you're breathless, weak and dizzy - those could be just normal pregnancy things, but they're also symptoms of low iron, and it's important to have your iron levels looking healthy in late pregnancy. I'd suggest asking for a blood test to check them soon.

    i had exactly the same thing and they found that my iron was low...ive been taking a suplement called spatone liquid iron. i mix it with a tiny bit of juice and it tastes ok

    I nearly fall asleep after work then DO fall asleep between 5pm and 6pm but hubby keeps me awake. When it is actually bed time, I want to do stuff!
