This is my 1st pregnancy and I have been exhausted from 30wks on. I finished work Christmas Eve at 36wks and I feel as though I will and could sleep and rest until baby is here. I have so much to do but no energy at all!
A couple of weeks ago I was soo exhausted all I could do was sleep. I even fell asleep on a chair eating my lunch!! Went to see a doctor and he tested my blood. Seems my iron was very low making me severe aneanic. He ordered 5 days of bedrest and 2 iron tablets a day for 3-4 weeks than going to 1 iron tablet plus multi vitamin for the remainder of my pregnancy. Now 2 weeks later I am feelin better but still need at least 2 naps a day.
Get your iron levels checked when you feel extremely tired.
