So tired im scared....

TLosch · Feb 12th, 2010, 16:13 PM

Hi, I am wondering if anyone else is or was more tired in the second trimester then the first. Its starting to scare me...I feel like a zombie. I was no where near this tired the first 12 weeks. I guess I thought that at 12 weeks some big gate opened and I would be back to normal....not so much. I feel almost worse now at 14 weeks....I hope this is some what normal....

I know how you feel. I've never been so tired as i have been the last few months. Some days my brain doesnt even seem to work. I've done some really silly things and DH never knows where he's gonna find stuff. Milk in the cerial cupboard, butter in the sink and dirty dishes in the fridge etc. I now have probalems with my pelvis and back too which means i can hardly sleep cos of the pain so i'm just like a zombie the whole time. Hopefully you'll start to feel better soon. Every one told me the second trimester was great but i guess it's not for everyone.

I do! I was fine in the first trimester but now most afternoons I need a lie down for a couple of hours and even then I'm still shattered at night. Don't find it that scary though, just assumed it was normal

You may want to ask the doctor to test for anemia, fatigue is common in pregnancy, but so is anemia. From my understanding it's fairly easy to treat, and if that's what's causing your fatigue, could help you feel better sooner

I'm feeling constantly tired too, I've been checked for anemia and it's not that so not sure why I'm feeling drained all the time. I felt crap in the 1st tri because I was just sick all the time, thought 2nd tri would be a lot better but alas, I still feel sh*te lol.

i feel like a walking zombie most of the time, i work got 2 boys to look after and a mountain of housework i just get overwhelmed by it all. i find it helps if i eat often, espesially breakfast, i never eat breakfast usually and it's taking some getting used to eating it but i feel so much better if i do then i only get to the point of exhaustion about 6pm instead of around 2 lol

i have been constantly tired throughout this pregnancy, turns out im anaemic and have a vitaminb12 deficeny so i have been gettin iron tablets and twice weekly injections. even despite all this i stil feel tired. my midwife says its the bodys way of telling you to slow down but i dont work. although i constantly do housework and run after my wee one. out of interest are you petite? xx

For most of 2nd tri Ive also felt like a total zombie...more than 1st tri! I would go to bed super early.

For me it did get better fairly recently...its like I have a ton of energy now! I hope it lasts.

I hope you get back some energy soon!
