Is this normal? So tired...3rd tri

Lately I've been feeling like I need to take a nap in the late afternoon...I feel like that's totally normal at this point..

But yesterday we spent the day at my family's shore house ( a 2 hr drive away) - and I could not keep my eyes open on the ride home. I didn't do much while we were there, just sat around and ate and drank (water lol). When we got home at 10ish, I went straight to the couch and laid down for a little while...then sat out in the yard with DH bc I felt bad (lol)...then came back in, slept on the couch til 1am, went to bed and didn't get up til after 10 (I'm always up earlier than that...I usually go to mass at 1030 on Sundays and now I feel bad!) I still feel groggy and fatigued....I just told myself, maybe my body is telling me I just needed a good rest...right? I guess I should be taking advantage of it now while I can!

I'm right there with you. I am exhausted all the time.

Re: Is this normal? So tired...3rd tri

I'm barely into my third tri (will be 30 weeks on Wednesday ) but have noticed a big change in my energy lately.

I don't know if it's because I'm not working anymore (gotta love being a teacher) or because it's been warmer than it's been in months, but whatever it is is taking a toll on me!

Re: Is this normal? So tired...3rd tri

I'm pretty tired...I have to stop and take breaks and Fri I fell asleep on the couch at 5pm, until DH came home from work.....I NEVER do that

I'll be 39 weeks tomorrow so I guess being tired is normal

Re: Is this normal? So tired...3rd tri

i am exhausted... i was due yesterday, so i am 40 weeks... but from about 35 weeks on, all i want to do is sleep. it's crazy. it's worse than it was in the very beginning. it's frsutrating... i feel like i do something for 10 minutes and then i have to sit down and rest. i sleep in everyday until about 11:00. i went to Mass last night just so i wouldnt' have to get up "early"

hang in there... in my case, it didnt' realyl improve, but it might for you!!

Re: Is this normal? So tired...3rd tri

Yes I was going to post about this! I have no energy lately, and I'm only 30 weeks.

Re: Is this normal? So tired...3rd tri

I need like 9 hours of sleep each night now (33wks)! I also fight the urge for a mid afternoon nap, but every afternoon, I feel like I need it. I'm not as tired as I was in the first trimester, but I am definitely more sleepy than the 2nd trimester.

Re: Is this normal? So tired...3rd tri

I am a bit more tired too - 34 weeks tomorrow....

maybe the warm weather is adding to it too???

I believe the lack of energy is normal at this stage of the game

So thankful for a 3 day weekend!!

Re: Is this normal? So tired...3rd tri

At 37 weeks, I am extremely exhausted.

Re: Is this normal? So tired...3rd tri

YES, the exhaustion gets ridiculous, especially at the very end.

i am 37 week, 3 days and SO exhausted

Re: Is this normal? So tired...3rd tri

I am always soooo tired

Re: Is this normal? So tired...3rd tri

I used to fall asleep at my desk everyday!
