I was super tired when i was pregnant :)
I think the 1st trimester is the toughest coz your body has to put everything together for the developing baby, then i noticed my 2nd trimester i was doing pretty ok, once i hit the 3rd, the extra weight was just killing me!
I think at 34 weeks i was napping at LEAST once a day - if not more often & eveyone would always say - just wait until the baby arrives - SO NOT TRUE, i know you get woken during the night but you get that during pregnancy anyway! I found myself being woken once or twice a night - with kicking or cramps so you kinda get used to that!
Just nap whenever you need to & do the same once the baby arrives & is napping - get as much sleep during the day as you can!

When I was pregnant with my daughter I was so exhausted from the morning sickness, then the extra weight I was carrying and I sometimes couldn't do much of anything other than lay on the couch or bed and nap my life away. It did help to take a short walk, which gave me a slight burst of energy. but think of it this way, you are eating, walking, working, doing everything for two now. Your body gets tired much more easily as the months go by, because you need to rest more so than you used to. Your body is playing host to baby and the baby is taking your nutrients and energy to grow. So, yeah, it is a tiresome few months. I had trouble keeping my eyes open too. I napped two or three times a day sometimes. Just be patient!

I'm not pregnant but I am exhausted. I have had to deal with a sick husband for the last two weeks. He's been sweating up the bedsheets leaving me with lots of laundry to do. Kids each have a soccer game a week. Dentist appointments last week, dentist appointment this week, all sorts of year end activities at school since my 14 year old just got confirmed in the church and is graduating grade 8. My 10 year old's birthday is in the summer so she insists on having a party at the end of the school year. Thankfully her sister will take on that task like she did last year.
After getting my mail this morning, more appointments coming up in July. I only have two kids. I don't know how families with more than one kid does it. I have also been lacking in sleep because my husband has been sick and not sleeping well, which disturbs my sleep.
Yup, I'm exhausted. It could be worse. It could be 90 degrees outside. Pretty cool here the last couple of days.
