anyone else feeling really drained?

[Maman]

im just so tired in the afternoons, no amount of sleep cures my tiredness! its crazy. Also im really thirsty too, a lot.

 

[lynnikins]

yep lol esp today caus i had such a busy morning

 

[MummyMEE]

I feel about 90 at the moment, given up on waiting to "bloom", just trying to avoid upsetting the neighbourhood kids (mad pregnant lady with the funny eyes) My eyes are like pissholes in the snow and I could quite happily sleep till my due date!!

 

[k7498632]

Im knackerred all the time, im finding it realy hard work running around after my little one at the min!!

 

[Michieb]

I agree i feel like i can sleep all day and it would not be an issue - i wake more tired then when i went to sleep!!

 

[IHrtSteve]

Same here, tired and thirsty. I really thought my boy would be here by now, since my first was right on time! Oh well. Although my mom just said she thinks he is coming today bcus I am cranky! Lol

 

[whirlwind]

Yes - can't get anything done, I want to sleep all the time! I thought this wasn't supposed to happen until the 8th month or so?? OH claims that baby makes him tired too - he's been falling asleep on the couch next to me in the evening and he NEVER does that

Totally made me laugh - I needed that today, thanks!

 

[babyhopesxx]

Yes i'm drained too after my burst of energy the past few weeks all i want to do is sleep. Yesterday i felt sooo lightheaded and faint too, today i'm just shattered and i'm looking forward to a nice bath and early night

 

[jollygood000]

Im aaaaaaalways tired. I think running after a 1yo adds to it but I feel like I could have a 3hr nap every day then still cant stay up past 8pm!!

Same here, though I'm ten weeks behind you, Maman! What's my excuse?? I thought for sure I was anemic, mentioned it to my doc, SHE was actually more concerned about hypoglycemia or GD, so she ordered my GD test a little early (23 weeks instead of 24-28 weeks), plus a cbc... and all turned out completely, middle-of-the road normal. Granted, I'm glad of course, but still.... guess it's just... being pregnant... like every other annoying symptom.
Sleep doesn't really fix it unless I sleep a TON (which I don't have time for), drinking water only quenches at the time, caffeine doesn't help... ugh.
I feel for ya.
The one day recently where I felt great was when I had slept in until 10 one morning, took a 2.5-3 hr nap that afternoon, then slept a good 9-10 hours that night. After alll that, I woke up feeling GREAT!!
But who has time for that??

AND.... once you get to sleep do you stay comfy? Do you balls..... I am up 4 times in the night to pee, I wake up every time I cough or sneeze to check if I have peed and then I dream I have peed! Moving to a different position is like a military manouevre... knees bent, knees together, try and move uncoperative pelvis into suitable position and HEAVE! All this whilst sharing a bed with OH, dog and varying number of cats (normally 2 - 5).
Seriously considering buying some adult nappies and a water bed.......

SATIN SHEETS!!!

My husband isn't so into the satin sheets idea... but sleeping without bottoms on also helps with the sliding easier! Pajama pants get me all tangled... sleeping in just my underwear helps a lot. Now if I could just figure out how to stay warm without pajamas on...

I imagine satin pajamas would also work, though

 

[MummyMEE]

Thanks for the tip honey but can you imagine the static with all the animals on there??
Still considering the nappies tho......

 

[HappiestMom]

I just gave up flipping in bed and just switch whichever side I lay on when I come back from my 2-3 nightly potty trips lol...its just easier to get into bed and lay on a certain side than flip over...Id be afraid with satin anything my big butt would just slide out of bed into the floor..and then Id really be screwed lol lol

 

[levichips]

yeah same here i have had throat infection too think that is what is doing it but i feel so tired and drained my poor son feel so sorry for him least his dad is home by 2 this week to do stuff with him x

 

[lewood88]

[jacks mummy]

I'm also very very tired at the moment! By 4pm I'm falling asleep on the sofa just knackerd all the time but we are growing babies and we NEVER get a full nights sleep. Broken sleep is the worst! By the way thanks for the laughs girls u made my night xx

 

[Rainie]

Yup tired, thirsty, sick and tired of not being comfortable and in two minds to contract someone to build a toilet in my bedroom.
