Am I being lazy or tired? Is this normal?

[dee_lopez]

Hey ladies,
I was wondering I'm 33 weeks and I had my "energy spurt" for about a week. Now I'm so exhausted all I want to do is sleep and lay down I hate doing anything.. It just wears me out! Is this normal or should I make myself do more things? This is my 8th baby and I onlybfelt like this when j was having my 2 boys and this one will be a boy. I just don't know if its something I'm NOT doing or should I just relax and wait for him to get Here. HELP!

In the same boat but this is my first baby. I have no energy what so ever. I feel bad cause at first I was keeping up with house work and cooking dinner every night and teaching my Hubby's teenager how to do chores cause he didn't know anything about house work. But now I have no energy at all I'm 36weeks and don't want to do anything at all. On top of me feeling bad for having no energy I now have his mother threating to take my step son away from me for the summer cause I'm a lazy ***** that should b out looking for a job and do in all the house work and cooking dinner so my son can sit around and not learn how to take care of himself when he moves out. How dare I teach him responsibility. She just has a problem with me cause I'm teaching them how to let go and grow up and she has no control over me at all. But it kills me that I have no energy to take care of my boys right now.

Its crazy because its only with the boys did I feel this way. With my girls I workedbuo until the day before I had them. But with these boys sleep is like never ending. I had to quit my job I was so tired and exhausted. And everyday its the same I'll fall sleep at 2/3 a.m and get up at 5/6 stay up until about 10 and go back to sleep stay sleeping til 12 then stay up til 3/4 and take an hour nap and all over again. I get up early in the morning to see my kids off to school.. My kids help out a lot at home they worry if I do anything on my own lol... Its kinda cute actually. But this fatigue is killing me. I keep reminding myself its not that much longer and I'll soon be holding my baby boy. I have waited for him for years and now I can't wait until he gets here.

30 weeks with a boy and I am tired all the time as well I also have anemia though. I wish I had energy I see it this way I will probably feel better when he gets here. So I say just rest make your other kids help you out around the house!

I felt very tired with my first pregnancy from start to end the baby was a boy. this is my second pregnancy and I feel great I have loads of energy so it's just normal.

I just moved to another state in with my fiance so I don't have a job...he said I don't have to work. I was gonna find a job but I have a class 4 days a week for like an hour and 15 mins which isnt too bad but then homework and studying....and then I do most of the house work because he works 10-12 hour days so after achool and house work im exhausted. I'm not used to staying home I've been working since I was old enough to have a job so its so weird for me not working but it is kinda nice to rest. And my huni likes that I have dinner ready when he comes home and the house is clean. If I worked too I think we'd both be too tired and no house work would get done lol.but sometimes I feel like I'm lazy if I don't get a bunch of stuff done or take a nap during the day.

This is our first baby and we're having a girl which is our lil gift from God :) :). I'll be 36 weeks Tuesday and i stay so tired and sleepy throughout the day. My feet and legs are swollen quite a bit and i am dealing with carpal tunnel, but i still remember its all worth it for our lil Isabella especially when we get to hold her :) :).

Just listen to your body.  Some days you will feel great and other days tired.  No shame in resting the day away.

Yes, I've had 7 kids already... LOL My oldest is 17 and youngest is 7. My 2 oldest were boys and then I have 5 girls. Its just horrible sometimes i have energy early in the evening but that will literally be it. I'm so so so so so tired all the time and I sometimes feel so bad because I feel lazy. I do make myself get my housework done but still I don't like going tot he store even. We're almost there ladies! I'm literally counting down the days. :(
