Exhausted at end of 2nd tri?

[lala222]

Hey everyone,

I have had pretty good energy levels throughout this pregnancy..sometimes I don't even know how I'm still awake at 1130 pm after a long day with my toddler. I get on average 6 hours of broken sleep a night (my toddler wakes me up probably 3 times a night, but I've always had trouble falling back asleep right away) and I've managed to run on this pretty well my entire pregnancy..up until now. Oh my gosh I've never been so tired! Do you think it's normal at this stage, rounding into 3rd trimester? anyone else around 26/27 weeks and feeling like this? I am so tired I can literally not keep my eyes open! Wonder if its normal and hope I'm not low in iron or lacking anything!

It seems like lack of sleep and broken sleep is catching up on you. I would say it's normal and your body is telling you that you need more rest. It's hard with a toddler to deal with, it's always an early start in the morning! We do reverse lie-ins and go to bed at 7-8pm every so often to try and catch up!

I've started feeling like this in the last week or so too! I'm constantly tired and could literally sleep all day and night if I didn't have my 2 year old to look after wondering how I'll manage when this one is born, i'm going to be exhausted xxx

I am 26w3d and I feel so tired as well. I am up to the loo about 6 times a night (thanks tiny bladder!) and when I get back to bed, bub kicks and rolls around so I find it hard to get back to sleep. That and working full time, long days on my feet with 25 kids in my class I have no idea how I am meant to keep going until 34 weeks when I stop work! I still go to my babyfit classes twice a week and go walking a few times a week too, to keep fit... but by 8.30pm every night I am almost asleep! I try to catch up on as much sleep and rest as much as I can on weekends.

I know the main thing is I go to bed wayyyyy too late at night. I should be asleep as soon as my toddler is around 9, but I find thats my only 'me' time to go on the internet, watch a movie, etc..so I never end up asleep before like, 1130. bad! woke up with bad headache today too and still dont feel rested, ugh!

I have two little ones that wake during the night too. I know how you feel! It's hard getting up and playing with them at the moment... Feel like crap mom!
