Should I be this tired?
I can't decide if this is normal or if I am anaemic.
I am usually asleep by 8.30pm most nights and getting a semi decent night's sleep. I am finding it more and more difficult to find a comfortable position and I need the usual pee in the early hours. Last night I was fast asleep by 8.30pm and the alarm went off at 6am. I should have had at least 8 hours (taking into account waking up etc.) and yet I feel absolutely shattered this morning. I could just sleep and sleep.
Is this normal? I am only 12+2.
My tiredness is starting to get me down.

It does start to get to you and there doesn't seem to be a solution. I was anaemic before getting pg so that hasn't helped me but everyone i know who has / is pg is the same!!

Fingers crossed you get some respite in the second trimester as I know others have had a sudden burst of energy!

Went to Sainsburys today and stocked up on things that have iron in just to make sure! You just can't beat a bowl of Frosties with evaporated milk.....yummy! (I hate normal milk - makes me gag!!). Not sure the fresh cream chocolate sponge has any iron in it though......
I've bought some of the Pregnacare multivits as they have iron in, just as an extra.
This week I have found I have been shattered about 4pm and like a wet rag til tea time, but even when I lie on the settee U don't go in to a deep sleep, just a doze. Listen to your body, rest when you can and thank for the idea of frosties and evap....can't wait to try that one
lots love xx
I was sleeping after work from about 4.30-6pm then I would eat and be back in bed by 7.30-8pm until alarm went off at 7am!
That stopped around 15wks ish and I did get more energy but now I am 33wks I am back to falling asleep after work and early nights, although now my nights are more broken with wee breaks and trying to get comfy etc!
Mission-Impossible - I am due on the 21 September and have also got pregnancy multivits (along with malt loaf, Frosties, cream cakes and anything else I can lay my hands on....but that is for another topic!!).
Only 2 hours until bed time!! Yipeee
its just getting me prepared for the sleepless nights again!!
