Tired....and really struggling...

[mouse9210]

I'm so tired. Like, so tired I can't think. So tired that when the woman in Boots was kind I almost started crying.

Midwife has told me to buy iron supplements to hopefully help as iron levels have droped but are not low enough for a prescription.

I am pathetic. But everything feels so hard! I assume this is normal?!

You poor thing! I can relate, whilst I am not tired all the time I have times where I really struggle. Maybe try spatone (liquid iron supplement) and see if that does the trick.x

Just sipping spatone now actually - really hope it helps because this is ridiculous!

I was fine all last week, but suddenly everything feels like way to much effort...I am shattered.

Hope it does!

aw, understand how you feel hun - i started my maternity leave early (this week) after a spell in hospital last week. was feeling terrible - really breathless, with muscle pain; they have prescribed iron for me - but it takes a while to increase your hb, which is why i realised i could not cope working full time at present.

I feel the same. I'm so tired, I cry at everything - literally! I'm like a small child atm. I got up for work yesterday and literally cried the whole hour I was getting ready, as I was soo tired and didn't want to go to work - oh and OH didn't give me a kiss before I left because I was on the toilet! I was distraught! I wish I could snap out of it!! Been on ferrous fumerate now for 2 weeks on friday, so really hoping that they begin to work!! x

I am so glasd it's not just me - I don't feel like myself at all - I am not normally moody and clingy and needy - I'm not sure how my husband is putting up with me tbh!!!

I have another 3 weeks (after this week) of work but if I carry on feeling like this I will self certify myself off sick for the last week (work haven't been great so feel no obligation to put myself out!)

I have stages when I love pregnancy and then days like today when I am feeling like I want to curl up and hide....not helped by people at working asking how far I have to go, and when I reply '2 months' they looks all surprised and say 'wow that long, you're so big!' - I could throttle them!!!! (BTW - have the perfect sized bump according to midwife!! Grrr)

Oh my god I feel your pain! I finish work this week thank god as I actually can't stand sometimes-I yawned my way through a pre-admission today which was dreadful n could have quite easily lay down on the floor and shut my eyes!!
The crying thing is horrendous I hate it when anyone asks if I'm ok as I just feel like I could cry for nothing too!!!
Sorry to say this but I'm glad u girls are the same makes me feel less of a big hormonal exhausted mess!!! HahaXx

I had a couple of weeks where I hit a wall, between 31-33 weeks and since 34 weeks I've felt ok again, really ok in the few days especially.

Fx yours passes soon. Just make sure you are really selfish with your free time, put your feet up and forget any chores xx
