31 weeks and totally exhausted... is this normal?

I am basically 31 weeks (will be official on wednesday!), and I'm just SO tired during the day. I thought that once I got through the first trimester I wouldn't have this anymore, but lately I could seriously curl up into a ball and nap everyday. I get up around 6am each day and am home by 7pm, I shouldn't be this tired

Part of the problem is that I'm staring at a computer from 8:30 to 5, very unstimulating, but I think a lot of it is just pregnancy exhaustion.

I can't imagine what next month will feel like!!

I felt that way around weeks 30-33 and then it went away again. So maybe it will be short-lived!

Im 31 weeks also and feel the same way. Part of my problem is like you, a boring unstimulating desk job, coupled with no sleep from terrible heartburn/ being uncomfy and running after a 15 month old that wakes at 5:30AM!!!

I feel your pain!!!

I felt that way from about 31-33 weeks and then it went away. i know that some people do hit a brick wall again towards the end but thankfully mine was short lived.

I think it's normal. You are not carrying even more weight and the baby is really growing...at 32.5 weeks, I'm tired 24/7 at this point!
