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’m always in the bed especially if I have nothing to do … outside of that I’m in my bed

No I’m also exhausted in I’m in my second trimester I’m on light duties now in still exhausted I’m thinking about on my maternity leave early than I think 🤦♀️

Not just you I'm 21 weeks have no energy no motivation feel drained weak and just meh baby wakes me every day at 6am still with sickness

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
