Exhausted
Oh. Boy.
Have I been feeling exhausted lately or what!?
Second trimester was supposed to be the one where I was full of energy and bursting to go but for the last week or so I have been feeling tired quite a lot of the time.
It's not like I'm sleeping all the time and can't do a thing it's just that when I do stuff I get much tireder than I ever have before.
I always feel like I need to sit down, or have a long massage. I'm feeling hungry and thirsty all the time. At the end of the day I feel like I've run a marathon and need some sleep.
Has anyone else had similar experiences?
Have any tips? Do I need to eat more, exercise more or sleep more?
Should I just suck it up cos I'm growing a baby and this is what to expect?

I was defintely hungry and thirsty all the time....but I wasn't that tired in the 2nd trimester. I felt great and back to normal, but then the tiredness came back in the 3rd trimester. Try to take power naps if you can and make go on a little walk to get some energy?
ReplyDeleteI was ALWAYS hungry in the second trimester. I wasn't very tired, though.... but I sure am now! I'd give you advice... but I haven't quite figured anything out yet.
ReplyDeleteI think you need a good long back rub. I'm sure it doesn't do any harm and it probably feels pretty good.
ReplyDeleteI was tired pretty much from day 1! If you're hungry and thirsty then try and eat and drink more-although try and have healthy snacks... It might be worth getting your iron levels tested as well. I was anemic most of the way through my pregnancy. Remember your body is working really hard, making and supporting a baby-it takes a lot of energy!
ReplyDeleteHow is your diet ? I found freshly squeezed OJ and red meat every second day good to keep the energy levels up. Someone else to squeeze the oranges is also good ☺
