Sooooo tired in second trimester

Everyone told me I’d get this burst of energy in the second trimester and I’m honestly more exhausted than in the first. Is anyone else feeling this? Is something wrong with me? Everything online seems to indicate that I am the outlier here and it’s dragging me down mentally and making me feel like I must be a lazy piece of shit.

It’s not just you I’m still in the bed now 😭

I am also exhausted. I don't need a nap every day like I did in the first trimester, but I have no energy to get stuff done.

I also am more tired in my 2nd trimester this pregnancy. My first pregnancy was the opposite, sometimes it just happens.

In the first trimester I was absolutely exhausted, I could barely keep my eyes open, In the second I got this burst of energy and started doing stuff again, I’m now 24 weeks and the tiredness has returned, not as bad, but I go to sleep exhausted and wake up even more tired than before it takes me a few hours after waking up to really feel awake

I really appreciate all the comments. It helps me not feel so alone.

I am currently in bed at 7pm and all I did today was a movie date with hubby 😂. I think I’m not sleeping as well this trimester so I’m always tired.

Every pregnancy is different. Don't stress about it mama . Rest as much as you need.

Me too! Feeling the same way❤️

Every single pregnancy is different! I’ve had slightly more energy, but I still take naps everyday. My gal pal who had a baby four months ago said the second trimester was far worse than the first! She barely had any side effects or symptoms in the first, then it went downhill.

Still tired but more of a burst of energy late morning

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Rolling milestone at 5 months - What’s typical ?

Good morning ladies,

My daughter will be 5 months old tomorrow, but there’s still no sign of her rolling. She does tummy time and loves lying on her mat, playing with hanging toys above her and to the sides, but she only lifts her legs and doesn’t seem interested in rolling or moving sideways yet.

Anyone else the same or have your babies already learnt how to roll yet ?

Thank you
