I’m 19w today and I’m soooo exhausted!! I wake up tired. I had awesome energy at the beginning of my 2nd trimester. Now I feel like I’m back in the 1st trimester just with a bigger tummy. Anyone else feel like this? Did it get better?

Question

Answer

Ugh me too! I’m 19 weeks and all of a sudden this week it’s like everything is so hard - just normal stuff like walking the dog or going up the stairs! So annoying. 
I’m so impressed with mamas who keep up with an exercise routine through their whole pregnancy, that seems impossible to me now.

Answer

Are you anemic at all? I was exhausteddddd the whole first trimester and after I had my blood panel, my OB noticed my hemoglobin was on the low side. I started taking an iron supplement and my energy level has improved!

Answer

I’m 22 weeks and same boat as you. I’ve been exhausted from day 1 and it hasn’t let up. Had thyroid checked, it was at the low end of the “normal” range. I’ve always needed a lot of sleep and love to nap when I can but this whole pregnancy tired is a new level of exhausted for me! Hang in there.

Answer

From my experience, third trimester fatigue is the same as first trimester fatigue, just add the big bump on top of it, so lots of aches and soreness too. Granted, I remember feeling less tired in the 2nd trimester the last time but this time around, it’s hard for me to differentiate between each trimester. I’m just tired everyday. Must be getting old 😂🤷🏾‍♀️.
