Tiredness/Feeling drained 24/7

Hi girls, so I had my little girl in September last year & the past couple months I have been feeling under the weather just so drained 24/7 I feel so guilty sometimes as I can’t do as much as I would like to with her, most days we just stay in the house all day. I’m not sure if it’s possibly my bloods as when I was pregnant I had to take iron tablets as my ferritin levels were very low but it was back to normal once I had my little girl. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and what they did to solve it? Not sure wether to just go get my bloods taken or take any multivitamins etc, as I used to take them but didn’t feel they made much difference xx

I get the same around this time every year, it could be seasonal? I’m looking at trying light therapy to help with my energy x

yeah exactly like that! No i didn’t breastfeed we used formula. I’m going to phone drs tomorrow thought I’d leave it a few days to see if I got better but not getting much better and I rely on redbull but doesn’t do much either🫠thank you xx

ooh, I never even thought about this. I only noticed it this year but last year I had just had my little girl and I can’t remember the last time I felt nearly as bad as this, but I’ll give it a thought but hopefully I can get some answers at doctors tomorrow, thank you x

Welll

So who’s pregnant again with me 😂

Anxiety with the bump.

I’m 36 weeks pregnant and I’ve suddenly developed a massive anxiety around anyone standing behind me. My husband is annoying me so much because even though I’ve told him how it makes me feel, he’s continued doing stuff in our kitchen (that is tiny anyway) and sliding past me to grab things. I know the baby is safe even if I were to bump the bump a little but even the thought of it is still making extremely anxious. How do I cope with this feeling and is anyone else going through the same sort of thing?

Please be nice as I have anxiety…

So I’m 20 weeks pregnant and I went to the hospital for light bleeding when I wipe ( not ever time though).. the doctor told me it was due to sex and that my cervix was irritated has anyone else experienced this? And or know way to just calm my anxiety from it

Dabs

Anyone take a dab or two when pregnant? I’m about 20weeks today.

Breathless and feeling like I need to be sitting constantly!

Has anyone else been feeling this way as they're getting closer to their due date?

I attempted to change our bedding this evening and had to call my husband for back up as I literally felt like my lungs were going to explode just trying to reach over to put the sheet on.

I'm huffing and puffing just getting my toddler into his pjs, and I was sat down! Like what is going on 😮‍💨🥲

Everything has been check ie bloods etc so I think it's just general pregnancy as I'm now 38 weeks. My bump feels like it weighs about 100lbs 😭

Milestone anxiety

Anyone else really struggling because baby hasn’t hit certain milestones yet? My anxiety is overwhelming me.
