Answer 1

Yes, very normal. You are creating a little human being, and of course it's tiring. I had exhaustion in the first trimester, then it went away...now I'm at 31 and a half weeks and it just seems to be coming back in the last three days! Just make sure you get as many naps in and sleep as long as you can at night. :)

Tiredness is also a sign of low iron, so you could also look into that if you think it could be it. :)

Answer 2

Perfectly normal, dear. It all has to do with how hard your body is working (your heart, lungs and kidney are working for two) and all the hormones racing around your system.

If you feel tired get as much rest as you can. Make sure you eat and drink well and regularly. Better small amounts frequently than three huge meals a day.

Put your feet up, close your eyes and visualise your ideal birth. What better way to spend your precious energy?

Good luck and happy birthing.

Answer 4

It's normal.  You probably aren't getting good sleep because you are so prego.  Been there!
