Not as much energy in 2nd trimester

Felicia

Just curious on if this is normal. I’m a FTM at 18 weeks today. In my first trimester I had days where I felt like all the energy had been drained from me but then had days where I felt wired up and cleaned the entire house or reorganized some things.

I heard in the second trimester you get all this energy but I really haven’t been feeling it. Some days by noon I get that sleepy feeling but can push through it and I feel like I’m not as motivated to get things done. I think I got more done in my first trimester than I have in my second so far! I also don’t drink caffeinated drinks. Never was a big coffee drinker so whatever energy I do have, it’s just from me. I’m also getting good amount of sleep.

My MIL said in her first trimester she was tired but in her second she said she had all this energy that she didn’t even know what to do with it all but I’m just not feeling that. Anyone else have or had this experience in their second trimester?
