3rd trimester ladies: Extreme exhaustion
Is anyone else experiencing this?
I will be 33w tomorrow & this entire week I am fighting to keep my eyes open. I go to bed at 9 & up at 5:30 but it doesn't seem to be enough. I can't even get out of bed in the am anymore...
I am sitting at my desk contemplating asking my boss to let me leave bc I can't keep my eyes open. Is this normal?

Re: 3rd trimester ladies: Extreme exhaustion
Totally! (I just commented on CaseyGirls post yesterday about this) At the end of my pregnancy, I was falling asleep at my desk constantly! The exhaustion the last few weeks was so much worse than in the 1st trimester

Re: 3rd trimester ladies: Extreme exhaustion
It's normal for me on most days. I am late so often these days it's pathetic.

I have been the same all week & it is totally out of character for me. DH even had to come in & physically wake me this morning....

Re: 3rd trimester ladies: Extreme exhaustion
Yes! My exhaustion has gotten so much worse in the last week or two. Yesterday I woke up, brushed my teeth, had breakfast, then sat on the couch to watch Good Day NY. I woke myself up snoring about an hour later! I feel so lazy too, but I am physically just tired. I am 33 weeks.

Re: 3rd trimester ladies: Extreme exhaustion
YES! Totally normal. I just posted about it...at work esp towards the late afternoon, I literally just want to shut my door and turn the lights off and take a nap. When I get home from work I have stuff to do but I'm dragging...and I almost always fall asleep on the couch but that's nothing new. The other day, like I posted, I had like a 12 hour sleep marathon which hasn't happened in ages! It's hard work carrying around an almost full grown baby and working full time

Re: 3rd trimester ladies: Extreme exhaustion
I totally felt this way! I was 36 weeks and one day and I had to take a day off of work because I was soooo exhausted! By the way - I ended up having DS the next day! Your body is telling you something...

Re: 3rd trimester ladies: Extreme exhaustion
I find it ebbs and flows. I had this last week (31w) and all I kept thinking was omg, how am I going to make it to 39w??? But then this week it's much better. I'm still exhausted, of course, but not that unbearable exhaustion. I vaguely remember the same thing with DS.

Re: 3rd trimester ladies: Extreme exhaustion
Totally normal. I thought I was going to literally pass out at times from the exhaustion.

Me too, I am not working until the bitter end, I am taking a few weeks off before, even though my plan was to work until the end.
I am also tired, I feel good until about 2 PM then I am ready to

Re: 3rd trimester ladies: Extreme exhaustion
This week has been especially bad for me. I get up in the morning and even with a shower i feel like I just can't get moving. This morning i woke up and took a shower and then proceeded to take a nap! Yesterday i couldn't drag myself to do anything. I am 35 weeks.
