I feel thesame too even though mine is work from home but I feel like quitting already

It depends what you do for work. I found it a lot more exhausting when baby arrived due to the lack of sleep. Make sure you take care of yourself x

When I was pregnant with my toddler I worked up until I gave birth. I was a chiropractor so it was pretty physical. I was so exhausted all the time and I just thought that was normal.
Now I'm a SAHM with my 2 year old and this pregnancy has been much less exhausting, still difficult and still tiring, but no where near like my first.
It helps that she naps for two hours every day and I nap when she does 🤣

Thanks ladies im at work now in my clients daughter was like girl you need to go on light duty cases into I go on my maternity leave

@Dimma Stephanie I agree with this! I'm due July 29 and really want to be off in June honestly. It's so hard! I only have energy to eat sleep work

How old are you? I struggled with exhaustion so badly (still am 12m PP) I was 35 when I fell pregnant, I'm sure it's my age x x

I dont think it has anything to do with me age love I also have a preteen daughter as well it’s me working in this pregnancy

I work from home on a computer I'm still exhausted 😩 I couldn't imagine being a caregiver or doing a physical job

Pregnancy is so exhausting. In my first pregnancy I worked up until 1 week before due date. This time around I’m planning to go 6 weeks ahead of my due date and rest a bit. It’s actually not good for your body to be stressed before baby due to the cortisol and lack of oxytocin that helps put you into healthy labour. Try to talk to your work about what they can do to accommodate you

@Caroline are you going to go on medical leave and then mat leave or take early mat leave? I totally agree with you and would like to do the same. This is my first pregnancy and the thought of going on to end of July just seems impossible

I was absolutely exhausted all the time when pregnant, I tried to drink poweraids and stuff, but i'd still fall asleep constantly,
Pregnancy exhaustion is definitely real

@Katherine I'm so happy for this chat. I tried to explain it to my boyfriend and just telling him there's so many others saying the same thing helps I think.
