Tired all the time


In the last few days I've been so tired all the time, I just feel so exhausted and weak. I don't feel like doing anything but sleep! I have good nights of sleep (from 10:30 to 8:30 am, Josh feeds every 3h but OH and I alternate on who wakes up). Been also feeling a bit lightheaded and this morning I've had morning sickness (I'm no longer pregnant anymore, what the hell?) I'm still taking my prenatal vitamins and I'm eating well...

I feel bad because my husband wants to go for walks with LO and I but I'm never in the mood for it, it just seems impossible to do any kinds of activities right now.

Anyone of you had experienced that or are experiencing it?

I was going to post a thread with the same title today... I brestfeed so hubby can't share in on the night feeds but I was up with her for hours last night before finally deciding enough was enough and handing her over - the little so and so fell asleep after 10 mins snuggling with her daddy!!

I hate being tired all the time - I feel like I'm a deadwomanwalking! And it's started taking its toll on my emotional strength recently, too - poor hubby - I feel so crabby and it doesn't take much for me to biting his head off! It doesn't help with the baby blues either, which aren't constant but if I have a really bad night with hardly any sleep at all I notice I get teary and sad for almost no reason the next day...

I know it's all just because I've not been getting enough sleep and I've a suspicion that the effects of my blood transfusion are wearing off and my haemoglobin must have dropped because I feel so anaemic

I just hope things level off in the next few weeks / months...

to you, Jess, I hope you feel better soon, too!

Too bloody right! Porbably the most under appreciated one, too! It's like, I'm working days and nights here pretty much 24/7 at the moment... and I think everyone else just forgets that sometimes.

God, I need some sleep... a break... maybe there'll be some chance of that in 18 years???? lol
