Fatigue In 2nd Trimester Posted: 02-17-07 22:13pm
It hit me a few days ago. All I want to
do is sleep. When I take a nap, I
immediately start dreaming. I usually
only take 20 minute naps. This excessive
fatigue is horrible. I was never tired
like this with nathan, especially during
the 2nd trimester. I read that the 2nd
trimester you should be with energy. I
see the doctor in about a week and a half
and will mention it to her. This
stinks.
Anyone else got extreme fatigue during
their 2nd trimester? I feel the type of
fatigue one usually gets during the first.
What can I do to beat this fatigue? I
can't really exercise per doctor's orders.

i had fatigue through my first two
trimesters. I was always tired and could
literally fall asleep in a second. I got
plenty of exercise in from all the running
around that I had to do plus I actually
did do a little exercise. Nothing
helped. It did go away on it's own.
Unfortunately though I was no longer
exhausted, I was still tired all the time.

You probably are not getting restful
sleep. I'm no sleep expert, as i've
suffered from insomnia for years, but I
have heard when you are dreaming you are
not in the stage of sleep that promotes
rest. I'm sure worrying about the baby,
it's health, etc is stressful and that
could be why.
I'd say boredom would be a good cause too.
You've always been active and doing
things out of the house, and now you are
more sedendary.
Good luck at any rate

Dont feel too bad, those things they say
are just guidelines, not everything
happens to everyone, ive been really tired
teh whole time so far (im 27 weeks on
tuesday) and it doesnt seem like its gonna
ease up until shes 18, but I think its
partly because I dont get enough sleep
anyway, not that I dont try, go to bed
around 9 or 10 get to sleep around 12ish
wake up about every hour then get up at 7
or 8 depending on the day, weekends I get
up at 9ish
ive known a lot of people who say they
were really tired the whole time, its not
that unusual, but id still ask your doc,
just to be on eht safe side

I have stayed fatigued through most of my
pregnancy and I am right at 35 weeks. I
had crazy dreams to and getting up to pee
all the time kept me from getting a good
night sleep. My midwife found out that I
am border line anemic and she said thats
why I have stayed so tired, she says it
happens to a lot pf pregnant women.
Anyway, I hope ya get some more energy and
to feeling better, good luck at the Dr.

Part of it is probably boredom.
I was actually dx with having a sleep
disorder about three years ago, when my
son was an infant. Since then I have been
through three sleep studies. It is
probably rearing its ugly head again.
Mommy35 is right. When I have too much
rem, I skip the stages of sleep that
rejuvinate my body - stage 3 and 4. I
basically lack that. Now I have
fibromyalgia symptoms again. I have been
waking up very sore. I feel like I am 80
years old. I thought that my lack of
stage 3 and 4 was the result of
medication. Now I am not on medication
and I still have the problem. Wonderful.
The fibro symptoms are horrible this
morning. If I am having this many
problems now being 32 years old, what in
the heck am I going to be like in 20
years??? Will I be in a nursing home?
Suck.
I will still mention it to my doctor. I
just read on line that anemia starts to
show up during the second trimester.
Since I have blood clots, perhaps I do
have anemia. I am just playing one big
guessing game right now.
I was never tired during the first
trimester, not even a little. If I were,
the fatigue would not have been so
strange.
Thanks all for your support. Being
sedentary is very boring. I wish the doc
would at least let me ride a bicycle.
Perhaps that would help with energy.
