First trimester was exhausting, then second trimester I've been doing well. Hired a trainer. Lifting weights twice a week and trying to walk 4-5 miles per day! Had some tired days but generally felt good and healthy. I'm at 29 weeks now and suddenly feel just freaking exhausted!!!
Just spent 3.5 hours staring at my phone at my desk and trying to get up to go home to take a nap.
I feel too tired to walk. What is happening!! I didn't expect this until ~34 weeks.
How am I going to do my job?? 😭😭
Just ranting mostly. But open to advice!! Anyone else exhausted?

I will be 28 weeks tomorrow and I genuinely feel you on this, this last week of me being in my second trimester has been a very long and tired week when I literally don’t do anything but walk or at least try to, I’m expecting it to be this way the rest of my pregnancy to

I am 29 weeks and two days. I feel exhausted too. Very tired even when I do littel things or when I walk for 10 minutes I feel tired. i didn’t expected that because with my first pregnancy I was much better and slimmer.

Also 29 weeks. Also so exhausted. Second trimester was delightful and it’s like a switch flipped in the past week or so and I suddenly need an afternoon nap every day in addition to lots of sleep at night. I’ve been trying to squeeze in yoga and walks during my short bursts of energy, but our bodies are doing so much, I think this is to be expected and needing more rest is okay!

I’m 27 weeks and recently had an appointment to check all my levels. I genuinely have been exhausted, needing a nap throughout the day and then still needing more than 8 hours of sleep throughout the night. I found out today that my iron has been depleted, my little one has been getting all my good nutrients which makes sense as to why I’m so tired beyond normal. Potentially talk to your OB about checking your levels to make sure you’re still on track or if it’s something else

Just turned 28 weeks and immediately lost all energy I had in the second trimester. I feel bad for my toddler who just sees her mom all out of it

I’m 29 weeks and had my energy tank in the last two weeks. Had some labs done last week and found out I’m iron deficient anemic. :/

Feels. My back and feet hurt and I’m napping like it’s my first trimester again

I’m also 29 weeks and can’t believe how tired I feel! It comforts me knowing there more people going through the same
Baby is in right place and has a strong heartbeat 🤍🤍

So I do not have any friends with children or many friends at all lol and I was wondering if any mommy’s would like to join my son and I for his third birthday ? My mother passed a year ago and she was pretty nice with planning and inviting family but I am not that good at that. My son’s father/my fiance has also passed recently and I am just hoping that friends can join and show love for my son…
