i am 18 weeks pregnany with my second child and it's been 7 years since my son was born so i am a little older but i'm still in my 20's. i sleep 8-10 hours a night. i feel great in the mornings but around 12:00 or after i eat lunch, i feel terrible like i'm dragging and i just want to lay down on my desk and sleep. Why do i feel like this i'm getting a lot of sleep and enough to eat and plenty of water and having a healthy pregnancy? i go to the doctor on thursday, i was just wondering if anyone else feels like this?

Oh yeah, I feel the exact same way, I am 14 weeks. But it's like as soon as I eat I can't function anymore, you feel like someone put something in your food or something. This is a big problem for me at work because I'll eat at work and then afterwards I can barely stay awake.

Well, I am only 5 weeks along but oh my Lord, let me tell you. I am the exact same way already. Yesterday my boyfriend and I got up after sleeping a good 8-9hrs, ate breakfast and then went grocery shopping. I was fighting to keep my eyes open as I was walking through the aisles! From what I have read, this is COMPLETELY normal, even though you are eating well and drinking plenty of water. Your body is just using so much more energy now because it is growing and nourishing your baby. It could also be due to the fact that we are supposed to cut back or cut out caffiene. At least we can incorporate naps back into our schedules lol. Good luck!

When I was pregnant with each of my kids if I did not get 14 hours of sleep a day I could not function, at all. Some women just get really tired when they are pregnant and need extra naps. Your body is working really hard right now. It is very normal for you to feel this way.

I'm 26 weeks and i feel like the same way. my doctor told me to eat smaller meals and try to take a cat nap at work if i could.

I often joke that food is like a drug to me because after I eat I feel like I have been given a sleeping pill.

yes me too! i'm 16 wks along, and i thought this 2nd trimester was going to be great - but i am still throwing up and so lazy and tired. it seems after meals i get lethargic. i'd ask your doctor, but it's probably normal. our bodies are working hard.
