Anyone 8 or more months pregnant...do you feel tired all the time?

Question

What kind of hardships are you facing daily when you are so near the due date?

Answer 1

Normal, I was like that with all 3 pregnancies at 8 months. Wont really go away till delivery either. Actually it doesnt stop there because youre up all nite for feedings! Good luck!

Answer 2

I'm 8 months pregnant now and yes, I'm tired ALL the time. Sometimes I don't even realize how tired I am until I get home from work and sit down and instantly fall asleep.

I go to bed tired, I wake up tired...that's just the way it is until my baby is born, I guess.

As far as "hardships" go...my back hurts pretty much all the time. I can't bend over and tie my shoes without a fight...that sort of thing.

I mean, it sucks that I still have to work full time until the baby comes, but that's life, baby.

Answer 3

I am 32 weeks as of today and I am so freaking tired. Problem is the bigger my stomach gets the harder it is to sleep! Either the baby is moving a lot, it's hot, my man is laying funny and won't move or I just plain can't get comfortable for one reason or another. So I usually end up getting out of bed and having to eat something because I have been laying there trying to sleep for so long I'm hungry again... Than I end up all night and sleeping all day the next day when I can have the bed to myself. Of course that makes for a vicious cycle the next night..
It's super hard to get up from sitting down, hard to bend over, my back constantly hurts and I have massive heartburn. I really hate being pregnant at this stage...8 more weeks...

Answer 4

Well I had my baby already he is 3 1/2 months old. But the 2 month stretch is all still fresh in my mind! I was tired ALL the time and I had a 4 year old! I was also on bed rest because of pre-eclampsia. Luckily it was a mild case so I wasn't on complete bed rest just moderate. Just remember it will all be worth it when you see your baby for the first time!

Answer 5

I'm not pregnant now, but I have a 2 and a half month old. I was very tired towards the end. I found myself napping through out the day and bending over was a big problem. Although it seems hard now, it's so worth it. It'll be over before you know it and you'll be wishing you were still pregnant. They grow too fast!

Answer 6

I'm not 8 months, but i did hav 4. The last month was the most tiresome for me. I would want to slep all the time. But I found right at the end I perk and ready to deliver. My third was the hardest due to have a partual previa(?). So enjoy and REST A LOT.

Answer 7

I am 9 months pregnant and I feel tiered all the time to.I´ve read and herd that you have to get all the sleep that you can now because when the baby comes you are probably not going to sleep at all.Maybe 3 hours a day.

Answer 8

I'm not now, but I was - 3 times. Tired does not begin to describe it...and summer is worse. Relax as much as you can. I got a huge burst of energy in the last week or so before delivery. I've heard it called the "nesting" phase"...and I cleaned and prepared like never before.

Answer 9

I am not currently pregnant,but was pregnant twice.It is not anusual to feel tired and achy.Try to take it easy.Keep drinking lots water and taking a nap during the day helps alot.Hang in there.There is a another life inside you.It is not so simple.

Answer 10
