Did they check your thyroid levels?

Girl, I’m in the same boat. It’s hard for me to get up and going before 11 and I cook MAYBE twice a week. Totally normal, no need to worry. Our body’s are using all our energy to build another human being. Don’t be too hard on yourself. 
Oh absolutely. In fact after experiencing it in my first two pregnancies, the extreme tiredness that came in the future were one of a few indicators that I was pregnant again!
On my last one… It was really hard. Felt so run down and fatigued. See if you can have your levels check. Also depression can cause this. Just throwing it out there. But honestly having 4 kids, running a house hold. Is a lot for any non pregnant person. Let alone growing a human.
Check iron levels … with my second I had to have a blood transfusion and with my 3rd I had to get 6 rounds of iron infusions, one a week for 6 weeks to get my levels higher😖
It can be normal for some people. However get your iron and vit D levels checked as deficiency in those can cause fatigue. I was extremely fatigued in my first pregnancy and I still am 4 years after the birth. I have now been diagnosed with CFS/ME which was triggered by my pregnancy. Just better to be safe than sorry and get checked over again.
Yes I was low iron and low vitamin d tho. Get checked 
or maybe take some multi vitamins?
I was with both mine, not super super tired but I needed to take a nap daily. I took double iron and still needed a nap. Shoot 8 years later and most days I still need a nap lol
Yes! Oh the joys of pregnancy!
Yes! This is baby number 2 for me. My first is 9 years old. I thought it was just because I’m so much older. I would be perfectly fine never getting out of bed because I’m just so exhausted. I’m constantly taking breaks after everything I do.
Yep. With my 4th baby I was exhausted all the time! I’d come home from work and take a nap. And sleep and normal time. I didn’t even wanna cook or clean!

Yes. But also ask them to check your iron level. My iron was so low it was making me feel like that. I got a few infusions and feel normal again

Yes! This is my 4th pregnancy and I always need a nap!
Oh yes mama totally normal…I just had my 3rd baby 3 months ago and I’m still tired 
I got pregnant with him when his sissy was 1 1/2 so I was super extra tired
I felt the exact same way when pregnant. I had a severe exhausted feeling, like I wanted to do things but just physically couldn’t. I found out I was lacking iron and B12. I had to take iron supplements and chose to take the B12 through shots. I don’t know if that could be your situation but it might be something to check into.
I was so tired during pregnancy. Like every day falling asleep at my desk tired
Yes!! I had my 1st 12.5 years ago, 2 months ago I had 2nd baby girl and I was EXHAUSTED ALL the time! I was so miserable this pregnancy and at the end I just was done. I am 36 this time and it took a toll. I saw my ob at my 3 week check up and even after a csection and not sleeping, I was 100 times better off than when I was pregnant and I am a single mom. Lol. So, yes unfortunately each pregnancy is different
Have them check your iron levels.

I couldn’t keep my eyes open with my 3rd. Literally pass out sitting up.
Absolutely yes! You are growing a tiny human its more work than you think. But if you feel like its excessive it never hurts to talk to your doctor
yep all I do is work and sleep while I’m pregnant all 3 pregnancys some days call off work cause I just couldn’t get out of the bed
Yes I was always tried but you may also need to have your iron levels checked. I was anemic during pregnancy and didn’t know almost until birth so I had to start iron pills so I didn’t bleed out while having baby.
Yesss growing tiny humans is exhausting.
Completely normal, my first trimester and half of my second was like that, then one day I woke up with soo much energy, it also helped that they cleared me to finally have coffee again. But it does get better!
Yes! This is my second pregnancy. The first one I was exhausted most days but it’s nothing compared to this one. I just thought it was because my son just turned one and I’m 24 weeks and 5 days pregnant. 
All I wanted to do was sleep
My 1st was ok on energy but I had my days where I didnt want 2 anything. My 2nd was twins I had absolutely no energy what so ever from the day I got pregnant until atleast 3 months after I had them.
Yes it is normal but it could be your iron level is low. During my first trimester with both my kids I had to take prenatal vitamins without iron because they would make me sick, I was getting more iron than I needed. During the 2nd trimester O got very sluggish and low energy, more than normal, so I had to take iron pills.
When I was in my first trimester especially o was literally sleeping like 18-20 hrs a day. Could barely function.
If I wasn’t eating, I was sleeping.

This is my 3rd pregnancy and the constant fatigue is like nothing I’ve ever experienced. I’m 24 weeks now and worked graveyard shift until about 2weeks ago and honestly thought it would get better once I stopped working but no. I’m literally useless most of the day. For an hour of housework I nap for 2.
Always exhausted! My iron levels are always really low though, get that checked first xxx
If you also get dizzy/pass out a lot, check your iron levels. My first pregnancy, last trimester was terrible. Extremely tired and constantly passing out. So when it started happening again, new OB recommended iron pills and it helped A LOT
Every experience is different. I was dead ass tired during my first trimester. Mango is a great source of natural energy.
That was me. He’ll, it’s been almost a year and it’s still me most days. Everyone days it’s past of having A baby but it’s ROUGH. Honestly, most days, I don’t even know how to get up in the morning, but you Not Alone.
I am pregnant in my 2nd trimester also this my 6th child and I’m exhausted always and constantly having braxton hick contractions my dr told me there isn’t anything that can be done its just how my body is reacting
I experienced this with my third. I barely had the energy to do anything.
I experienced it with my last pregnancy. Just had him in February. I just figured it was because I was 5 years older and not in as good of shape
Have you had your appointment for your Glucose level check? Gestational diabetes? Been around any one that’s been sick lately?
i only experienced this with my girl
I’m in the start of my third trimester and I am so exhausted and soar. I have a belly band on the way. I’m digging really deep to get the motivation to tuff it out. Lots of house, yard and garden work to do. This is my third pregnancy and I’m am carry in the front this round. Definitely a big difference.
I’m on my third pregnancy and feel very tired then what I felt with the other.
Yep. Totally normal.
I remember my 3rd (my last 
lol) being this way. From start to finish. I also threw up my entire pregnancy which didn’t happen in my 1st or 2nd. It was horrendous. I truly believe when they say every one is different. Is your iron low? All blood work normal I’m assuming?
I’m on my 3rd and I am so exhausted constantly! This third trimester is knocking me out more than my first trimester and my first 2 pregnancies.
My fifth was like that
I was exhausted during my first trimester. I remember nodding off while driving to work. It was so odd! And I napped like a cat. Constantly!
I did on my 3rd pregnancy.
Yes all I did was sleep while pregnant with my second child
I was 38 and I was wiped out!
They told me to take B vitamins when I was pregnant with my daughter
Mama, you got 4 other kids! Absolutely it’s normal. Not only are you pregnant but you’re taking care of other babies. Even if you’re not running after them it’s mentally exhausting. Also, and this is the part that stings, you’re older. There was such a huge difference for me between being pregnant in my 20’s and in my 30’s. I was freaking exhausted! It’s normal. Hang in there.

Are you iron deficient? I had this same problem and it turns out my iron was very low and I had to start taking iron pills in my 2nd trimester
Well you are growing a whole other HUMAN! Yes it’s perfectly normal
Definitely normal! Mine is 2 1/2 months old & my energy level has sky rocketed now that she sleeps through the night & I’m not pregnant anymore! 
Its is normal is had 5 kids with no help it was always tiered. Now my baby is 27 years old being tiered and knowing you made a difference for your kids is something I am very proud of.
That is how I knew I was pregnant. That was in 2005-2006. I have never regained my previous energy, 15 years later. 
yes, it happens to the best of us. Are you getting help from your family? kids help, spouse help?
It is very common, symptoms get worse the more you have for most people as well
Same! It was worst during my first trimester, second trimester was great, and I was pretty tired my third trimester (but at least then you have a huge belly you’re carrying around and you can kind of justify it in your head). Hang in there
Me! This is my third baby and I feel the same! I constantly sit down. Never feel like I have energy. I can drink a huge Dr Pepper and no energy I don’t get it. I’m always tired. Morning and night
I was like that in my first trimester. I used to have to take naps after waking up in the morning and even fell asleep at work a few times. It got better in the second trimester for me though.
I’m 32 weeks now, was battling with it all second trimester, turned out my b12, iron and vit d was low. I’ve been taking supplements for the iron and vit d, I had to get 5 b12 injections, but so far it’s really improved. So if your worried, doctor advised me to try the pregnacare tablets with the vitamins, they might give you a boost ?
1st pregnancy I was so tired even before I found out I was pregnant I thought something was wrong with me. I told myself I’m taking a test and if I’m not pregnant I’m going to the doctor. I worked 2nd shift at the time so I would sleep from about 11pm til 8am wake up eat use the bathroom and go back to sleep until it was time for work and then fall asleep walking around at work to.
This is my second baby and I was so exhausted in my first trimester and I didn’t remember being so tired the first time and come to find out I had a vitamin d deficiency and one of the side effects is fatigue. I started taking extra vitamin D on top of my prenatals and feel so much better. But definitely don’t give yourself more vitamins unless the doctor says to.
This is me now, 27 weeks and can’t be bothered doing anything only my first pregnancy
Yes! I slept ALL THE TIME
I’m constantly exhausted and not even pregnant
! I was always napping until about the third trimester.
Oh yes! Just had my fourth baby a week ago and let me tell you- this pregnancy was THE WORST. I experienced everything you mentioned. I think the more babies you have, the older you get etc- the more tiring the miracle of creating a baby inside you becomes Certain Days I couldn’t even get out of bed. Just hang in there. One week post partum and all my energy is back! You got this 
Yes.
B12, after food…
Completely normal. Ur growing a human inside ya
I’m 21 weeks with my 4th. I’m 31. I take 2 naps a day, a morning nap and a mid afternoon nap. With my others I was 19, 23, 27. I don’t think I slept this much then but I’m older and I need all the sleep I get.
If this is your 5th pregnancy you are a little older and cating for 4 children Don’t worry or be hard on yourself.
My third pregnancy I was like this. By 4pm I was completely out of energy. I felt like I was on a 0% battery life.
I’m 14 weeks pregnant and I feel the same exact way. My ob told me to take 5,000 of vitamin d3 of course check with yours first this is also my 5th
Yeah you’re growing a baby, they’re vitamin stealers Get some pregnancy vitamins.
Im 9 weeks pregnant and i am the exact same way…
Get your iron checked! Mine is always low n without my supplement I feel like I’m dying! But, yes it’s exhausting growing a human!
I’m on my third pregnancy and this is the first time Ive experienced this level of exhaustion
The older I got the worse it got by the time I was 35 kid 4 I could barely move half the darn time let alone at the end I feel like I laid around and cried most of my 3rd trimester lol
Yess its your bodies way of preparing you for the rest of your life
I am with mine. This is my 3rd pregnancy and I have no energy what so ever to do anything. I’m 29 weeks almost 30 weeks
Fresh air and exercise
Ladies please all of you after you deliver babies get thyroid checked I ended up with thyroid cancer when my baby was a year old more and more woman are diagnosis after a pregnancy I didn’t want scare anyone just get checked it’s been almost 22 years ago for me I was so exhausted in my pregnancy I believe the cancer was coming on
My iron was super low and I felt the same. Maybe check that out
I could not do anything, I was so exhausted constantly. It didn’t help that I had to work nine hour shifts on my feet that went past my due date 
I was SO tired when I was pregnant, I’d fall asleep at my desk. My dr said it was pretty normal and not much you can do but make sure you take your vitamins
It could be your iron is low. If your prenatal is a gummy most of them don’t contain iron.
With my 3rd I was that way and they found out I was anemic.
I was told my iron and hemoglobin was extremely low. The Doctor even said to me she was surprised I had the energy to make it up and down the 3 flights of stairs at the apartment. Honestly, I didn’t have the energy, I just didn’t have a choice. It was horrible. And the iron pills made me horribly constipated. It sucked so bad.
Definitely this is my 2nd and I’m almost 37 weeks and I’ve had absolutely no energy since the beginning of my pregnancy. With my first it was never this bad
I was tired alot when I was pregnant but I was also working 10 to 12 hr 6 to 7 days a week. But I was also 38 I sometimes still feel that way it was my first pregnancy. It could be age or it could just be the little one taking your energy. Rest as much as you can
I felt that way until my 7th month check-up at doctors office. Plopped down in chair and picked up magazine that encouraged walking. I started walking every morning three miles every morning. I started before I did anything else or I would be back in bed. I lost weight and felt great the last two months before my 8 lb 4 oz baby girl was born
I’m in my 3rd right now and I don’t want to do anything I’m always hurting and it’s worse when I walk I’m so ready for this to be over with
Going through this right this moment with surprise 6th. 1st and 2nd trimester was nothing but violent mourning sickness. And once we hit 3rd trimester it’s just over all exhausting and dragging on longer then the 1st two trimesters added together. We are due in 6 weeks and it feels like I haven’t even left the starting line.
It’s completely normal
I have a 6 month old i know what you mean. Stay positive,eat fruits,vegetables,nuts,herbs,sprouts for energy. Keep sipping water. You should be grounding daily! Check these out…
One of my pregnancies had me so exhausted all the time I regularly slept 18 hours a day. On days when I felt good I still had to take a nap or two.
