Anybody else slowing down now?

I'm only 25 weeks now but Ive noticed that the past week or so I barely have any energy. The morning sickness has come back too. I have insomnia and I'm back up 4-5 times per night using the bathroom. Its like the 1st trimester all over again except 'Im huge! I don't recall having all these things happen so early on. 3rd trimester is when it all hits me usually but I'm a few weeks early for that. Just wondering if I'm the only one?

Im over 29wks and i am definitely feeling more tired lately. NO morning sickness but my heartburn and acid reflux can be horrible especially at night. i have days that i go to bed at a normal hour and nights with insomnia in which i can't fall asleep till late and wake up numerous times.

Well now Im 27 weeks and slowed down even more! Its hard to really even get around that much and all I want to do is lay down. I'm exhausted and nap twice a day. I go to sleep easily at night, wake several times to use the bathroom then right back to sleep again! I have a lot of pain in the pubic bone area and my hips. I hobble around like an old woman lol Glad Im not alone though!!

Oh no!, I hope I don't start feeling like that again..LOL..I am almost 25 weeks and feel great, the best I've felt during this pregnancy. For the first 4 months I was soooo tired but now I feel so much better. I am dreading feeling like that again. I hope my energy last a little while longer:-) A couple of friends told me to make sure I finish the baby's room before I enter the third trimester, well I've gotten that out the way just in case.

I am always fatigued.  I am 27 weeks and I am STILL sick and throwing up.  I think the feeling bad part is what is really making me tired since its just a battle with the nausea.  I only get up once in the night, maybe on occasion, twice.  I have insomnia problems and most nights I have a hard time getting back to sleep after I get up.

Yeah I have not had as much energy the last few weeks and bad insomnia, the moring sickness came back around 23 weeks I guess. The one thing that has really changed for me is the pressure I feel walking and jsut lifting my legs! I measure 41 weeks but am 27. I still have only gained 7lbs so it is not the weight. He is so big and so low plus I am older. Still enjoying it though:)

Yes.... and I am carrying twins. My doctor actually made me reduce my work schedule to just over part time and I am so thankful!! I am about 24 weeks and it's interesting you mention about the m/s because mine comes and goes, too!! Plus, I now have terrible gas (like built up gas) and heartburn. Oh, and the insomnia... ughh!!! Yes, I feel your pain!!! I was up at 3:30 a.m. the other morning and just decided to start working (I work on a computer most of the day).... there was nothing I could do to get back to sleep. It's terrible.

But, I am VERY happy to be pregnant, so I'll take all of the crazy symptoms. Glad to see I'm not alone, but sorry you're dealing w/these symptoms too!!!

No I'm definitely feeling wiped too at 25wks and the reason for it is whining in my ear right now. I knew that pregnancy and a young toddler would be a nightmare but I didn't realize JUST how exhausted I would be. 25wks pregnant, with an 18-month-old? I'm nuts. And tired to show for it, lol. I had SOOO much energy when I was pregnant with my daughter, I slept well up until the last few weeks, I was able to exercise and keep myself healthy and rested...this time around it feels like one looooong journey to the end, whereas last time I enjoyed every part of it. Now I just can't wait for the baby to be about 2 months old, lol.
