extreme fatigue

[star child]

is anyine else experiencing this? im 38 weeks & 2 dys & I just keep my eyes open atm.

Yep - I here ya! I attribute mine to the fact that I just don't sleep WELL anymore - too uncomfy. I sleep for 45mins - 1.5 hours and have to wake to roll/wee/heatpack/quickeeze/rearrange pillows. I have found taking two panadol before bed seems to be helping - that and dozing all day...

Oh wow yes. I know exactly what you mean. I hit 32 weeks and suddenly i just want to sleep all the time. And i'm ALWAYS tired and worn out. And my hip feels like it's dislocated so sleeping is really hard.
I'm so buggered. I actually fell asleep standing up last night. I was standing at the top of the stairs closing the screen door and i fell asleep for a few seconds!! Thankgod i woke up and didn't go headfirst down the stairs!

Me too. Add to that last night's very strong BH coming every 8-10 minutes, VERY uncomfortable , impossible to sleep through, had to take panadol just to get to sleep and then only for the 45min- 1 hr...

I woke up this morning going "I just want this kid to come so I can get a good nights sleep"....

no wait, that doesn't work either does it!

[*noni*e*]

was gonna say the same thing as squidpa.. are u getting enough iron? the last weeks of pregnancy are deffinately tiring!! but it might be worth getting your iron levels checked just incase u need an extra boost.. u dont wanna go into too low coz u lose blood etc.. all the best
