I could sleep ALL DAY!

[ttolc07]

I am 24 1/2/ weeks pregnant and I'm self employed and since becoming more and more pregnant been unable to work. Everything is fine, my wonderful partner is supporting us both. But I have every day free at the moment. I don't have much of my own money either, so feel more and more reluctant to go out for the day. I always end up spending money!!

So I sleep in, I sleep in until about 11am and then I get up and have some breakfast, then often after an hour or so I fall asleep again on the sofa. I feel fine then after that nap, and when my partner gets home from work I make the dinner and we watch tele together or go out in the evening and I don't feel tired. But come 11pm/midnight I could crawl into my bed with him. I do have aches and pains, and often have to get up to pee in the night, and I'm dreaming so intensely.

I am also ALWAYS hungry these days. We are expecting a little boy. Just wondering if anyone else feels like this? It does make me feel so guilty like I'm not experiencing life. I don't feel low though, which has happened to me before. I feel very content and happy.

Thanks!

I am exactly the same . Even before I knew I was pregnant , I was tired , and when I say tired I mean out of this world tired . It got worse and worse , I thought there was something wrong with me . I gave up working a very physical part time job at 13 weeks. It was draining me . Friends suggested low iron levels , but they are great ! I asked the midwife , and she just said , you are pregnant . Before conception I was lucky to get 4 hours a night , and was taking medication to help me sleep . So I am just enjoying the cat naps , lazy days and early nights , it won't last for long . Make the most of it x

hi, i am 19weeks with my third. this pregnancy at the beginning i was tired all the time but i have a 2 yr old little monkey who doesn't nap much in the day. has through midwife checked ur iron count? my first pregnancy was great except bad sickness until 7months and i now have a 7yr old girl. my second except slight sickness i managed to work until 7months but that was because my job was quite physical but his pregnancy not had any sickness heartburn has vanished but the tiredness is a killer. everyday i have to drag myself out of bed in.the morning and in bed by 8:30 at night but wake quite a few times. good luck in your pregnancy.

Hey!! You sound just like me!!

1st trimester - I could of slept for england! 2nd - I suddenly feel fabulous - now at 25weeks and heading into the final stint - I am reverting back to my old ways. I wake at 730ish as hubby heads to his business (he too self employed) and have breakfast and before 9am I am asleep on the sofa till 1030-11ish! Its insane.... Then for the rest of the day I join him at work (i have finished my training and now assist him) and like yourself feel amazinly 'un-tired' even until 1130pm!

Eating seems to have increased steadily whether thats because im at home alot more rather than working full time.

Chin up chicca xx We're all in the same boat!

Good luck with your bambino!
