What is wrong with me?
I feel for you so much!! (HUGS))My last pregnancy was just awful, really sick , felt big early, prenatal blues. I had a 3yr old and 2 yr old at the time, and we were living with my in-laws until we bought our first house, which happened around month 7. I was on bed rest for 3 months if there is such a thing with 2 kids and no help. My ob referred me to someone and I was on prozac for a few months. When we got our house I felt better so I think now maybe a lot of it was stress. On a lot of days it was so hard to cook for the kids because food was the last thing I wanted, so I know what you mean by accomplishment! Maybe dh could give you a break, sometimes just breaking out of routine helps me. Or maybe accomplishing something small just to help motivate you, maybe keep things from seeming so overwhelming. I really hope you feel better soon, and I will be thinking about you. Hang in there!
I know that any time I quit drinking iced tea I feel like crap - headaches, tired, etc. Perhaps it's the caffeine withdrawal, and nothing to do with the pregnancy??
Probably just the ups and downs of pregnancy. When you think of all that is happening it is ok to feel a little blue and a little wiped out. I had really bad headaches w/ #4 I cant remember if it was too much or not enough estrogen but it was hormonal. Let your OB know if this lasts too much longer.
Oh my Goodness, you just described how I'm feeling these days. You and I are due around the same time. I think I'm about 23 weeks now. The baby is moving around like a little jumping bean these days.
Hugs. Go back to your cup of tea! There's no evidence that moderate caffine will have any effect on your baby! Remember, a happy mommy makes a healthy baby! It may help.
I am so sorry you are feeling this way. I totally can relate to feeling sleepy. I have taken naps with my girls this entire pregnancy (and I mean 2 hour naps
Just my cyber hugs to your pregnant moms feeling this way. My entire pregnancy was awful. I felt awful about feeling awful. I had to have my mom help me push the cart at the grocery store, even when people couldn't tell I was pregnant. It started right from the beginning and lasted til the end. I sat on the couch daily all day long because I just COULDN"T do anything else. I would try, but fail. It was a very long 9 months. Happily, I can say I felt 100% better the moment I was no longer pregnant. I could eat again, I could walk again (after the hemroids healed) and I am now doing a workout program at 3 months postpartum. Not that this is much help, but do know that it is temporary and you will feel better after the delivery. Try to keep your moods up and let everyone around you help everywhere they can. You need it. Sometimes, you don't need help with a pregnancy, and other times that pregnancy is just too difficult. And as for outings, I turned down most of them. I stayed home and explained I was not able to come, but would love to get together after I was feeling better. Which I did. Oh, and that post above mentions iron. After my dr told me I "HAD TO" take additional iron I felt SO much better!!! So check into that. It was like a new life was given to me (but I still hurt all over).
Thank you so much everyone for your good cyber thoughts and hugs!

). It is part of pregnancy to feel tired. Also you could have low iron if you're feeling extra groggy. Definately drink lots of water and just take it easy. I hope you get over this and have a great rest of your pregnancy!
