Am I still supposed to feel like this?

[debralouise]

Hi everyone,
I wondered if you could help, I had heard and read that the tiredness improves in the 2nd Tri. I'm still tired and going to bed early each night and falling asleep (or wanting to) around lunch each day. I was hoping this would be a symptom of the first weeks of PG but I feel the same as I did at the beginning. Is this normal? xx

I am still sleeping about 10 hours a day.

My tiredness actually got worse in the second tri and is still bad now, i can sleep for 12 hours and still be shattered and falling asleep all day. I think it differs for everybody, however tiredness is definately a normal symptom of pregnancy in the second tri. Just try and sleep as much as possible. When our babies come all this will have been worth it. xx

I feel a lot tired too, even my job im finding it boring now, i don`t feel motivated anymore and keep taking breaks just to sit down and wait till its time to go home. My OH often says im getting lazy and wished i had more motivation to do things. I feel well hurt by what he says. With me even walking gets me tired quickly. Hope we all going to be fine soon. Maybe in the third trimester! who knows, as every trimester got a symptom

we're only just in the second tri so don't give up hope yet!
I find I have much more enrgy during the day but am still zonked after 9pm. It's a miracle I'm awake now! (11 here)...though to be honest, sitting here is about all I can manage other than rolling into bed!

Yea, I think it's rubbish that you're more energetic in the 2nd tri. I'm ALWAYS tired and can never get enough sleep..been that way since before I got my BFP. I figure I'm storing up on sleep now cause I won't get much once Peanut is here.

Although I'm more energetic I still go to bed quite early and it's not uncommon for me to take a nap during the day.

I'm more tired now than I ever was Hasn't improved for me :'(

 

[CK Too]

Its not improved for me either, I got really excited about the 2nd trimester, thinking I´d want to be doing more.....but it hasn´t happened!!

I'm normally cranked up 24/7, but since about week 13, Im exhausted all the time. I'm in bed asleep at 7:30..talk about fun, fun!! haha!

I haven't been working since November so I don't do a lot to make me tired. Even so I find I sleep a lot and get tired early in the evenings still.

It's not nearly as bad as when I was first pregnant though.

I think it's getting worse now that I'm finding it harder to stay asleep at night because I get uncomfortable easily.

 

[clairebear]

im really tired still and i dont think this energy kick exists xxx

 

[debralouise]

Thanks everyone for your replies. I'm glad it's not only me. I'm feeling quite lazy though and I'm sure my DH thinks I am too. I think it should be possible to swap over places just to show him how it feels - Not sure he'd agree though!

 

[horrorheart13]

I feel alittle less tired now but I still sleep alot more than I did prepregnancy :/

 

[Sweetie]

I've been sleeping a ton lately. Wake up around 9am, nap at 2pm, dinner and then a 7pm nap for an hour or so and then to bed at 10:30ish. I was told it would get better... but no luck so far. Hoping energy will happen soon tho

I think everyone is different... I got over my all day sickness but i am more tired than ever now on top of the fact I am up through the night peeing NOT a good combo I sure hope it gets better for all of us though

I'm still pretty tired, I get home from work around 5:30 and I just sit in my recliner and wind up falling asleep around 6:30 or 7:00, that's if I make it that long. I kinda go through spurts though. I can be lazy all week long and then a day will come where I have nothing planned and I will just clean, clean and do the things I should have been doing during the week and then I go back to being lazy. It's really weird. Get all the rest you can now because when that baby comes, you only sleep when the baby sleeps. I'm taking advantage while I can, lol!!! I'm with you though, I hope our energy kicks in soon, I have so much to do.
