I was wondering if any of you ladies is
having issues with being extremely tired.
I am almost 24 weeks prego and I feel more
tired now than ever. All I wanna do is
sleep all day. On top of that I have
horrible pains in my hips and tailbone and
back. I have Restless legs. I have been
having heartburn. But yet I still really
love being pregnant. I just wish I could
stay awake enough to enjoy it more. I do
exercise while I am at work at night but I
always feel so sore afterwards that I
wanna scream. Has anybody been feeling
this, this far into the game? Or am I not
normal?

I still have days where I am exhausted. I
do have other days though whenever I have
sooo much energy and get allot done around
the house.
I am having a hard time sleeping at night
so I think that causes allot of my
tiredness during the day.

I think it's pretty normal to be tired
when you're pregnant. Your metabolism is
going non-stop so it can be hard to get a
good rest when you do sleep, not to
mention all the discomforts. I had sore
hips when i was around 22 weeks. It just
feels like your hips are being forced
apart, because, i guess, they are. I
think eventually the baby might pop out of
the pelvic area and move up a bit as it
gets a little bigger. then you get a
little relief until the head goes back
down into your pelvis. that is what I'm
dealing with now and I've got major nerve
pains whenever I walk, especially when i
first stand up. But, like you, I love
being pregnant anyway!! It's just nice to
know what's causing all those little aches
and pains and if there's anything you can
do to get relief or at least feel normal.
I think if you work it's a lot harder to
get the rest you need when you need it.
I'm lucky because I haven't had to work
because I had some issues earlier on in my
pregnancy and was put on sick leave. It's
boring and the money sucks but at least I
am able to have a nap whenever I want to.
If you can just make sure people around
you know that you are tired so they can
help out and let you get the rest you
need. Hopefully that baby will move up a
little soon so you can feel better.
