3rd tri girls

How exausted are you?

Most days I am just so tired. I sleep till 930 and then nap again throughout the day. I am just so so tired. I dont have any energy to do anything

I am out on disability bc of swelling and granted I wake up 2-3 times a night to go to the bathroom I am usually able to fall right back asleep


eta - i just took my 3rd nap of the day!!

Re: 3rd tri girls

well i only have 12 more days to go. But i am hoping it is soon cause everything is swelling up now.

Re: 3rd tri girls

Well I just woke up from a nice long nap I definately feel more tired now that I'm in the third tri, but so far it hasn't been horrible. I think with the heat and everything it just takes a lot out of you. Keep your feet up and sleep while you can

Re: 3rd tri girls

i am definitely feeling the need to nap every day now. i have NO energy after lunch anymore. i don't get to nap though b/c we are doing so much stuff to the new house... i think i need to hire someone to do it for me!

Re: 3rd tri girls

I'm not as exhausted as I was in the 1st tri, however, I'm super uncomfortable at night, so I'm tossing and turning and on top of that I get up like 3 times a night to pee. So in the morning I just feel out of it b/c I didn't sleep the night before.
I have been napping during the day too, but usually not until DH gets home, so he can take care of the doggies and dinner if need be.

Re: 3rd tri girls

I get up ever hour. Its driving me crazy.

Re: 3rd tri girls

I am not as tired by any means as I was in the first tri. That was excruciating torture getting through those first 12-13 weeks. I do feel like I am slowing down more though and I get tired by the afternoon. If I have nothing going on I will usually try and catch a nap in the afternoon and then I feel better and am able to get through the rest of the day. Sleeping at night is hard now though, my belly is in the way, my hips get sore from sleeping on my sides, it's just no fun. I have the Boppy Pregnancy pillow and wedge and that's helping but I'm sure it's going to get worse in these last 10 weeks I have ahead of me.

Re: 3rd tri girls

Barely functioning here. Can't stay awake to save my life.

Re: 3rd tri girls

Yup! The tiredness is setting in
I worked a total of 12 hours yesterday and just about collapsed when I got home

(Yeah, and then DH wanted me to stay up and watch the game )

Re: 3rd tri girls

I'm just starting the 3rd tri, and I am sure things will start to go downhill soon.

I'm still sleeping through the night without having to get up to pee (yay!)

I'm tired, but not enough to take a nap.

The only thing that hurts is 'down there' sometimes the pressure is too much.

*shrug*

I dunno.. I'm ok I guess
I'm a little more tired than say a month ago, but frankly its not that bad. I go to bed around 10:30pm

I'm up at least once in the middle of the night to go tink but it doesn't really wake me up or bother me. If it's twice I start to sorta wake up on the second run, but I don't get that often.

I sometimes sleep on the hour trip into the city and back home on the LIRR but not usually the whole hour and not enough to say always.

If I think about it, maybe I am tired.. but frankly I am so busy at work and trying to get things under control I have no time to be tired or even slightly off my game. I just hussle hussle hussle. Then on the weekends I sleep in until 9am - whoohoo It feels like a holiday

As a matter of fact as i take a break to write this post I am shaking my knee under my desk like I always do really fast LOL I'm such a freak!

Re: 3rd tri girls

I'm feeling very tired, and not motivated to do much. the heat makes it so much worse.

Re: 3rd tri girls

35 weeks tomorrow & I'm seriously considering begining maternity leave 2 weeks before my due date opposed to one week before like originally scheduled.

I'm tired.. I have ZERO motivation & I dont want to do anything but eat ice cream in my air conditioned house.

I feel like a lump on a log & the heat isn't helping since I'm still commuting to work.

Re: 3rd tri girls

Tired.. All the time.

I cant even get up from my couch or bed without help... Its quite comical.

This heat isn't helping either.

Re: 3rd tri girls

Can't get comfy at night...up at least twice to pee, so when I have to wake up for work still tired. Totally not motivated to do anything, but still working 8-10 hour days...god help me!!

Re: 3rd tri girls

so far so good... but I'm only 29.5 weeks... still a lot of time to go.

No backaches, I sleep well and still have energy. I have very limited ankle/foot swelling, and only have one stetch mark so far. Also, my 'gestational diabetes' is super duper mild. I'm a good girl and test regularly, but frankly can eat most of the stuff I want without any problems (including a bit of cake and my beloved horizon organic chocolate milk )

I'm more active now than before, and get less winded than in my 1st and 2nd trimesters when climbing stairs while carrying stuff.
