Exhausted

It's normal and not much you do will change it. Rest when you need to and be productive if/when you feel up to it. Some days will be easier than others. Nap during the day when you need to xxx

Im 36+4 and right now im lying on the sofa half asleep instead of working 😅 really feels like I've suddenly hit a wall of exhaustion this weekend!

Ive messaged manager to bring my week of half days forward to this week and im planning on taking some more annual leave next week to head out on mat leave sooner than planned.

No real advice I guess, just solidarity 💪

Solidarity here. I’m also 37 weeks today and had a small burst of energy yesterday to do some nesting bits. I’ve just started taking Spatone for my iron levels and think they’re helping because I feel a bit more human. I am still working this week though and wishing I’d brought my mat leave a week earlier, I’m so over going to work (even though I work from home!) it took me 20 mins to get dressed this morning (compression socks when 37 weeks pregnant are a nightmare 🤣) and I was running late.

Rest when you can, be productive when you feel like it. This is the one time you can get away with doing the bare minimum. Baby won’t judge our disorganised cupboards when they’re born 🤣

This makes me feel better that I’m not alone! Thanks ladies 😂 it’s my first pregnancy and I’m like wow I thought I was tired at 30 weeks but this is something else 😂

This is so normal, I am 37 weeks on Wednesday and feel the same, we are growing human beings so it’s reasonable to be tired haha

All I will say for any first time mummies here is that you will be more tired this side of birth than when baby is here ❤️ the last few weeks of pregnancy are harrrrd. You'll have better sleep and you'll be more comfy after baby is here xxx
