Why do I feel so weak?

Question

My whole body feels extremely weak. I can't really support my weight well when I stand, and it's extremely tiring to sit up without leaning against something. I've also been dealing with some really bad depression the past week.. What's wrong with me?? 35+1

Answer

Has your doctor checked your iron level? It could be anemia. My iron was low and I always felt drained. They out me on an iron supplement and I'm still tired but I feel more normal.

Answer

Blood volume peaks during the 3rd trimester and that alone can leave you feeling dizzy and weak at the knees, especially after eating or if you've been on your feet too long, etc.  Some days are worse than others but I definitely experience faintness on a near daily basis.  When it happens I just sit down and try to rest for a bit.

Answer

I get like that randomly for a few days too. Some times even just for an hour or two. Happened today while grocery shopping all the sudden I was just done for. Couldn't stop yawning felt like I was gonna fall over. Uhg.

Answer

Me too! Walking anywhere is a struggle it seems.. It's these big ole bellies we got going on 😉

Answer

Like the other person said,get your iron levels checked. It's extremely important. Low iron will make you feel extremely weak and drained. You probably need an iron supplement.

Answer

Omg I could have written this! This is my third and I feel so weak some days. I went grocery shopping today and I felt like I wasn't going to make it I was so tired. I also have been feeling a little depressed since Friday. With this pregnancy and my other two I'll have a day here and there when I'm super emotional and just want to be alone but it's not lasted more than a day. This morning I got up with our toddler and was feeling better, until an hour or two later. I told my husband I was going to take a shower and I just sat in there and cried and then got out and got dressed and took a nap and hung out for another two hours in our room by myself. I took our daughter with me to the store and had some good one on one time with her and she I think finally snapped me out of my funk. I've felt much better since. She's 5 but always has a way of making people feel better. She's such a caring and loving little girl.

Answer

Same here.  The baby is taking more of your energy now to put on weight before he/she is born.  We're sleeping less, it takes more energy to more because of our size, and it's harder to eat enough.  Try to rest as much as you need to while you can.

Me too. Its the baby putting stress on the body it will be over soon honey hang n there
