Tired all the time.

I’m 27 weeks pregnant and feel like I’m exhausted all the time. I’m use to being a little tired during the pregnancy and needing a nap. But lately I feel like I can sleep all day and I get absolutely nothing done. Any recommendations as I absolutely hate feeling unproductive!

I feel the same. I'm so tired all the time. There's so many things I want to get done but I don't ever get anything accomplished. It's really upsetting. I don't know how to find the energy to try to get some of these things done and not feel so overwhelmed all of the time.

Currently 24 weeks with a healthy little girl and either she's always sleepy or I'm just exhausted from the effort my body is putting in to make this beautiful little person, I think it's totally normal due to the increase in certain hormones but I also do feel upset when I set out so many tasks and can only get them partially completed without feeling absolutely drained and ready for a nap

I am ALWAYS exhausted! I am usually a productive person, I clean and work out but I have felt like such a bum this pregnancy. I see things that need to get done and I fester on them but yet I have zero energy to get up and take care of them. Which in turn makes me beat myself up for it wondering how other women are doing so much while pregnant when I can barely get off the couch 😭

I'm so glad I'm not the only one. I have an active 2 year old, so I have no choice but to get up but it's definitely giving harder and harder every week. And it's worse when I feel or get sick. Stomach bug took me out the whole day.

Sameeeee. I need a nap and a coffee most days just to make it to a reasonable time of night to go to sleep!

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

I am so done with pregnancy !

Everything i do hurt . I sit down / i stand up / i walk / i lie down. I am in pain ! I am tired ! His mouvement hurt down there like electricity chock ! My back is on fire ! If i walk more then 5 minutes i feel like i am going to die ( low ferritine) the acid reflux is crazy . I mean i can’t and don’t wanna do this no more . Only 31 weeks !

Almost 37 weeks + told to do another growth scan

I just had my second to last doctor’s appointment this morning, and my OB told me she wants me to do another growth scan because my belly is measuring small. She says it’s probably just because I’m a smaller woman, but they like to be safe. It’s hard to hear though, since I just did one a couple months ago.

I did this with my firstborn around this time of pregnancy, so I do think I just carry smaller (even though I don’t feel like I look “small” at all). My first baby was 6lbs 15oz when she was born at 41 weeks + 2 days. I’m having this baby at 39 weeks on April 7. I hope she’s still at least 6lbs.

Anyone have any stories similar to this?
