Still so tired at 19 weeks!

Is anyone else still struggling with fatigue in their second trimester? I kept waiting for that sudden burst of energy but I still feel like I’m full of cement most days …

I notice the days I get some exercise (workout or walking) and extra water and I don’t feel as tired! There are some great pregnancy safe workouts out there if you need recommendations!

My midwife told me, my extra exhaustion was coming from my lack in vitamins and supplements. I added all the stuff she listed, and it totally changed it for me. Hopefully you get your energy back soon.

10000% i am struggling. Like my eyes are tired. And my brain. So tired. Sleep like shit too!

I'm 18 weeks today some days I get so much energy and feel on top of the world then the next day after that I'm so exhausted. I'm right there with you, I've only heard how second trimester is all uphill and it hasn't been that way for me. Everyone is different and everyone grows a baby differently too :) im very active myself and actually went on a 2 mile hike and felt great then the next I was down for the count it's crazy! I'm sure you'll start to get some good days soon

so true! I called a friend and took a 3 mile walk and that’s the most energetic and comfortable I’ve been so far. I need to start getting regular about walks like that because they help so much

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Little girl turning herself sideways in next to me

My little girl tonight, has spun herself so she is lying sideways in her next to me, making me panic!

Is this normal at 4.5 months, do I just lie her back normally/vertically?

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?

Hi All! FTM, Entering week 40 and no signs of labor, no dilation yet. Please share tips and ways to induce natural labor. Induction is already scheduled on week 41 but don’t want to go through that process.

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
