Exhausted - help?!

pootle33 · Mar 30th, 2009, 08:04 AM

Hi everyone

I am only just in 2nd trimester now but really looking for some advice or someone to tell me they also felt like this?! I have felt fairly tired throughout pregnancy but over the last 5/6 days I have been absolutely exhausted. I had 9.5 hours sleep last night but when I got up to go to work I was exhausted and felt really dizzy so ended up sleeping for another 3 hours. I thought energy was meant to come back (or perhaps it will soon!). I know its not my blood pressure which was 120/60 and I'm eating regularly and healthy so can only assume it is a baby growth spurt....is there light at the end of the tunnel? Sorry for the rant.........

i can sleep all night and then wake up and tell OH i'm knackered and feel as though i've not slept in days. and within an hour of being up i'm back asleep on sofa.

hi pootle33 , i was feeling the very same as you , and was wondering if there was something wrong . Once i hit the 2nd tri i thought great now i wont feel so tired but i was , sleeping day and night . im now nearly 18 weeks and am feeling so much better . You just need to rest as much as you can and take it easy . I used to think if i take it any more easy i will fall over lol . Everyone is different . take care xx

Yeah, I was hoping for a rush of energy too! I feel better in that the sickness has gone (if only the heartburn would!) and the cramps. Am sleeping/feeling tired a lot still and has been a big adjustment to accept I can't take things at the same rate anymore.

I've been tireder since I reached 2nd tri. Was ok in 1st tri, but just finding little things tire me out and have less energy.

Ive been completely shattered since bout wednesday of last week, I feel like I could sleep standin up!!
I dont feel achy tired like when uve done a long shift, I actually feel sleepy tired like Ive not been to bed

So if any1 has any advice on how to combat this, or boost energy....

Glad to hear its not just me. The worst thing for me is I didnt make it to work today and I'm not the sort of person who is normally off sick and even though everyone knows I'm pregnant how I hate the thought they might be thinking "what a skiver". Ridiculous, I know but I cant help it......
