Is it normal to feel exhausted in second trimester?

Question

I'm 15 weeks and I'm so tired! I've had a bad headache which makes me sleepy, and I had a long-haul 4 day trip over the weekend, but this tiredness is pathological! I slept for 12 hours last night and just nearly fell asleep on train to work. Help! Am I feeling this because I was lucky enough to feel no symptoms at all in first tri? I thought this was meant to be trimester full of energy!! Anyone else?

Answer

I'm still in my First trimester and I am EXHAUSTED! I'll get up early weekends and 2 hours later I'll have to go take a nap . Work weeks are the worse and I'm usually in bed by 7pm watching tv or what not .

Girl, lol. I have a son and a daughter, with both of those pregnancies I kept waiting and waiting to feel that "burst of energy" and it NEVER CAME. I'm 14 weeks with our third now and am so exhausted its almost painful! All I want to do is sleep! I hope you get your energy back, but be reassured that it is completely normal to be tired the entire time also.

Answer

With my first I slept more in the beginning of the second trimester than I did any other time. Weeks 14-17 or so I was just dead tired the entire time. Energy picked up after that though!
