anyone else completely exhausted?

Question

I'll be 25 weeks tomorrow & I literally
cannot run more than 2-3 hours of errands without having to sit & rest or nap afterwards. I am normally a very active person, I own a bakery & run it (standing/cooking/baking) 6 days a week. I've cut down on hours, but I still can't do what I'm used to doing, is anyone else completely run down? my fiancé keeps telling me to go back to the gym & that'll probably help, but I can't get myself to go - I was going, but stopped about a month ago.

1. are you feeling this way at this point in your pregnancy?
2. are you doing anything to help the matter?

Answer

I think going back to the gym isn't the best advice. Clearly, you're tired. You're growing another person! :)  I was fine until about the 25th week then everything came crashing down! I'm so sleepy all the time. It's not that the baby is pressing on my lungs or that I'm so huge that I just feel lethargic from poor sleep (I still sleep on my stomach at 28 weeks) ... I'm just pregnant and exhausted.

Answer

I've been extremely tired the whole pregnancy. All I feel like doing is taking a nap all day. I'm 28 weeks 1 day today and just had my glucose test today. The doctor called later with the results and it turns out I'm anemic, which is probably why I've been extra tired. I have to start on iron supplements and hoping this will help

Answer

26 wks and soooo tired everyday all day.  I drink coffee in the morning but it doesn't really help my mental state.  
Following for advise, full time job is taking its toll.

Answer

Yes I'm so tired. I pee five or six times a night and it's horrible.

Answer

I sleep almost as much as my toddler, and normally I'm good with 7-8 hours! A couple times I've actually fallen asleep on the floor while playing with my daughter. So. Tired.

Answer

I was feeling the same way and then started taking iron on top of my prenatals and I started feeling like my old self again!!! Always run it by your doctor first though! Good luck!

Answer

My doctor told me my iron levels were very low. I started taking iron pills the next day and saw a huge improvement in 24 hours. Talk to your doctor first. :)

Answer

25 1/2 weeks and I'm right there with you. Definitely doesn't help with having a full time job and then I come home to my 2 wonderful outgoing toddlers. I get decent sleep I guess except I wake up at least 2-4 times a night from having to potty and being so uncomfortable. 14 1/2 weeks to go and definitely counting lol

Answer

Almost 27 weeks and I'm exhausted! Can't stand for more that 2-3 hours .. And I've picked up a habit of taking 1 or 2 naps a day! I feel as I've been training for a marathon - like I ran 15 or 20 miles lol. I work from home so it isn't a big deal, but I am still going to the gym 2-3 times a week and doing yoga at home 1-2 times a week :)
