Body feels heavy and weak?

Question

I'm currently 26 weeks pregnant and for the last two or three weeks I often find that I can't stand for more than a minute or two because my body feels SO heavy. I just feel like I need to sit down in the floor it's so overwhelming. Even my arms like when I'm chopping veggies. Anyone else experience this or know what could be causing it? I'm supposed to start a new job next week and I'm nervous about it since I can't seem to stand for long.

Answer

Maybe low iron levels ? Have you gotten those checked recently ?

Answer

I’ve felt the same since around that time. I’m 35 weeks now. It’s hard cause I do 40 hour workweeks on my feet. And not everyone is as understanding about the need to sit occasionally. I get really mean when the other girls take the one avail stool. But yes it’s like your body is being bogged down and you have to fight thru a torrent of exhaustion to get anything done. And honestly? Exhaustion is just so painful. I just wanna sleep all the time. Get checked to see if you’re anemic. They didn’t catch it with me until late in my pregnancy and honestly pills and food don’t help and it’s supposed to contribute to that tired feeling.
