Pregnancy tired was like physically I feel SO dead and exhausted but atleast I could rest - newborn tired is like I feel so headachy from literally not sleeping and I can’t rest

First pregnancy and birth I would have voted ‘newborn tired’ but I’m pregnant with number 2 and I’ve never known a tired like this 🙉
No amount of rest or sleep will fix it. I’m like a walking zombie 24/7. Every simple task feels impossible 🫠

For me from most to least tiring:

- Newborn with a toddler
- Pregnant with a toddler
- Newborn
- Pregnant

At least when pregnant my first I could actually rest 😆

hopefully when second is out the newborn phase it gets a bit easier? 🤞🏼

You can go for naps when pregnant not when you have a new born and crazy toddler ive never felt to tired in all my life

Pregnancy with a toddler tired 😂

I’ve done that and twin newborn with a toddler tired and pregnancy with a toddler is soooooo much more exhausting!

Avatar

Pregnancy tired I got lucky with my babies they loved their sleep but during pregnancy I had the worst insomnia and was still working night shifts looking after sick babies till 36weeks. So feeding my baby from my own bed and sleeping in between feeds seemed like a luxury 🤣

I second pregnancy with a toddler tired... omg 😱

Avatar

I hear you 😩

Newborn tired. Because you can’t just try to lay down or nap. You have a baby to take care of lol

Avatar

it's just different! You can't sit nap trapped so often or take a nap yourself at all because you've got to stop a toddler jumping off the furniture or destroying the house 😆

Once the new baby is a bit older it's just a different challenge and splitting your attention as they're into different things and on different schedules. It's always hard but rewarding!

Pregnancy tired, definitely as we were lucky with our little boy as he started sleeping through at 2 months old.

Pregnancy tired while having a 1 year old 😅

I second this 😅

Currently 3.5 weeks post partum, I can say I was more tired pregnant. I had hyperemesis, and a toddler to run round after this time! This time, the newborn part is the easiest 🤣 I have seen every hour of the night last night, which I did pregnant to pee, and I’m not throwing up all day and not carrying around an 11lb baby in me. (She was born 11lb 4oz) so the weight loss helps too lol.

For me, it was pregnancy tired. I could power through on newborn tired but pregnancy i sometimes literally couldn't keep my eyes open!

Avatar

Definitely newborn tired for me! I had my daughter at 23:57 and so by the time I’d had a shower and everything that comes immediately after birth it was like 3:30am. To then have to be up every 2 hours was the most tired I have ever been in my life.

You forgot to put toddler up there

Pregnancy tired with a toddler.

I think as I’m already used to being tired, this newborn tiredness isn’t as bad as the first time round 🫠

Avatar

I think pregnancy tired. But it’s your actual hormones that could be tiring and it’s all you. With a newborn you can get help. But for me the most tiring is when I have had way to much gluten and sugar(I’m gluten sensitive) so my body is exhausted and it pain. That’s definitely not fun. And I think I’d take other tired over that

Avatar

Toddler tired is next level 🤣 I would literally rather a newborn right now

Avatar

I feel like pregnancy because you can’t control it. The exhaustion comes over you.

Newborn stage, it’s exhausting but it makes sense because you are up feeding,etc.

Avatar

Currently in the newborn trenches! Pregnancy tired made me feel physically unwell and I could sleep for hours on end. In my opinion newborn tired is very different, you feel back to yourself physically and you’re also running on pure love and adrenaline so it seems much easier, also I can have a quick 30 min Power Nap and feel as good as new compared to sleeping for the entire day when pregnant and still feeling terrible. I’d take the newborn tiredness any day!

Both

With 2 toddlers I’d rather be newborn tired!!! 1000% sure

Avatar

Newborn with a toddler that doesn’t nap 😴

Avatar

With my first child, newborn tired was worse. With my second child, pregnancy tired was worse even with having a toddler to take care of during the newborn stage

Avatar

First time round, newborn tired. Second time round, pregnancy tired (add in a toddler and I was WRECKED) 😅

Avatar

Being pregnant while dealing with a toddler is the ultimate tired in my opinion

Avatar

Going back to work full time and stilll breastfeeding a toddler

Avatar

The adrenaline took over with a newborn, definitely found pregnancy tiredness worse!

Avatar

1st pregnancy with full time work was tiring but 2nd pregnancy with part time work AND an 18 month old is next level😂

Avatar

I think ‘pregnancy tired with a toddler’ is getting a lot of mentions right now. I’m right there with you girls! 🫠
*sigh* *yawn* *send help* 😅
It’s BEYOND 🥲
