Tired all the time

Really I feel like it is worse now than before. As I sit here I can not keep my eyes open and it sucks. Anybody else having this problem?

I'm with you! As soon as the m/s passed, I've been more tired than ever. I can barely stay awake until 7:30 or 8:00 and then I sleep until 6:30 and could keep going (stupid alarm clock and work!). I just try not to fight it, and let myself fall asleep at night whenever I need to (even if that's at like 6:00!).

Good luck! I tell myself it's because the baby's growing so much and is taking all my energy.

im with you there. I wake at 6 am and feel fine, but when its time to rock my 21 month old for nap time i start to doze in and out. Its aweful. Then the rest of the day is just dragging. At 10 pm rockin her again for bed and i cant keep my eyes open. It is much worse now than in 1st timester for me.

I'm having a problem going back to sleep after my 3AM Wake Up Pee. Then I'm up till 4:30 and the alarm goes off at 5:30. So that interrupted sleep pattern is making me tired during the day.

I also think it has alot to do with the fact that it's dark now by 6:30 or 7 at night. I feel tired when its dark...so that has to contribute right?

Anyone with a cure for insomnia?? It's a good thing Fresh Prince is on at that time or I'd be totally bored!! DH hates that I turn the tv on but its the only way to get me to fall asleep!

I just cut down the peeing from 4 times to 3 times a night. I am so happy! I used to lay in bed at 4 am willing myself to sleep. Now I can finally get back to sleep until 6:30 am. This could all change tomorrow, so I am thankful for any amount of sleep that I can get. Just getting prepared for the baby I guess!

I laid down today to nap at 1:15 and got woke up at 3:30. I could have kept on going.

I wish I could nap. I just can't seem to fall asleep if it is light outside. I have taken two or three naps this whole pregnancy. I am way too busy to nap. I am to busy spending time here or watching tv.

Random side note... I think I must be the only one that isn't peeing as much as you all, I've not once had to wake up in the middle of the night to pee, I pee before bed and then have to like a race horse when I wake up but never middle of night, I guess I should be grateful

Lmao.. yes maam, you should be. Mines between 3&4 times a night. And usually, the last one is only like 40 minutes before the alarm is due to go off. OHHHH how that irritates the living daylights out of me.

Keep telling myself... its all worth it, its all worth it..hehe.

Over the past week or two, my 2 routine pees are down to 1. I was up like clockwork at midnight and 4AM, and now it's just the midnight pee. I'm thankful it's just the one time now. It doesn't seem so bad. Sorry for all of you with 3 or 4! Maybe that means your baby will sleep through the night to make it up to you.

With my DD I didn't start the "peeing" until the 3rd Trimester, and that was awful, 4 times a night minimum...but with this one its at least 1 most nights...

So I am more tired with this one at this stage as well, I am guessing its because I am chasing a toddler around in the evenings and not coming home to sleep like I did with my DD, but who knows.

I would recommend you ask you OB about your Iron levels, a lot of women notice a spike in energy once they go on Iron pills...

I think I could sleep pretty much through the night if my 2 year old would. All he does is cry out. So when he does I go in and take care of him and then head to the bathroom.

I've always had a very strong bladder, with my other 2 I never really had to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, this 1 has been different, but usually no more than 2 pee- breaks at night. Over the last weeks it has gotten better though, I do wake up but I've been so tired that I go back to sleep, and I'm able to hold it till morning. Hopefully I don't pee the bed one night!!! I can't imagine that I will ever live that down -- if it happens DH would probably tell everyone we know!!
