3rd Trimester Fatigue

Chantelle • Mummy to two beautiful little girls 💞

I've turned 30 weeks today and for the past week my tiredness levels have increased and struggling to have energy to do anything. I feel if I sit for too long i may nod off, which I can't do as i have a toddler to look after. I get anywhere around 6-8 hours of sleep a night and am on iron tablets because I'm slightly anemic.

Is this a normal thing at this stage or should i worried it means labour isn't far off?

With my first the 2 weeks before i went into labour i remember sleeping more because of constant exhaustion.

It's also so painful and uncomfortable when baby moves, it feels like she has no room left and needs to rip my skin open 😩😩
