Bone Tired

I'm tired. It doesn't seem normal to be this tired. I feel like I'm walking around in a fog. My blood sugar hasn't been as low as it was when I first started checking my numbers though most days I stay in the 70's and 80's, after lunch yesterday I spiked to 140 (max 120). I thought high blood sugar would have me feeling a bit wired but I felt even more sluggish then. Luckily it was a one-time occurrence but this exhaustion is getting old. I have a 32 week checkup in a week, hopefully the doc can tell me what's up. I'm still trying to get my insurance taken care of and its annoying. I had my brother spend his Friday getting me a certified copy of my marriage license as required, and got it in the mail today only to be told they don't want a certified copy, they want the original. I can't find the original so what are you going to do? Deny a high risk preggo access to health care? Hopefully I'm worrying for nothing.

Nesting is sort of in full gear. We hired a guy to replace our popcorn ceilings with smooth and do some other needed work around the house. He's not a professional but he's affordable and when he worked for us in the past he did a good job, but this time its shoddy. He created such a mess in two rooms that I'm going to have to throw away some of the things and the ceilings are streaky. Tomorrow I have the joy of telling him to redo them. It sucks. I hate telling people what to do and I know he's working his butt off and that he's financially broke so it feels mean but I have to, I mean we're paying him to do a job. Right? Sigh.

And the Oscars, they underwhelmed.

Hmm- I am quite boring when dead tired. Ah well.

  2. Ahh, the EXHAUSTION of the third tri - I thought mine was normal pregnancy fatigue - but I have anemia. Maybe they should check your iron again - so you do not end up where I am with a possible transfusion.

    I am on my way for my amnio - eek!

  4. Yeah, have you had your iron checked? I am anemic too. Also, I hear ya!!! I'm tired as well--ALL THE TIME now.

    And now headaches have set in. Boo.

  5. Yeah, i do have anemia! But I'm taking the pills. They don't seem to be showing a marked effect yet though- hopefully in a little while I will start feeling it. I'm making a beef stew dish tonight hoping the iron in it will help me feel better.

    I think its also because I don't sleep well at night and now because we have someone coming in to do work on the house I'm getting up earlier so not getting my rest that I got when I could sleep in a bit.

  6. haha, i was worried that would happen! i deleted the post, i don't know why i just thought it was weird, i'll rework it later, it will probably end up exactly the same as the one i deleted! i think it's a little unusual that i only gained ten pounds, it probably has something to do with the fact that i was so ill the last couple months of my pregnancy, the amount you gained seems more normal and i bet you will drop a big chunk of it within the first month of having sunflower.

  7. I'm anemic too, and it seemed like it took a couple of weeks before the iron really started kicking in. But even still 3rd tri is just plain exhausting!!!

  8. It takes a few weeks for your body to really absorb the iron and starting raising your levels again. It took me about 3 weeks before I could go up the stairs without being so severely winded that I had to lie down. My doctor actually sent me to a cardiologist over this when in reality it was my iron.

    Hope you feel better, though being in the third trimester I don't know how untired you will feel ;)

  9. Ugh, sorry you are so tired! It does sound like something more than the usual third-trimester stuff. I hope your doc can shed some light.
