Feeling "drugged"

Hey ladies, so just the basics I'm 32 1/2 weeks prego, 3rd baby and pretty normal pregnancy...

I'm waiting on my dr to call me back but I was wondering if any of you towards the end of your pregnancy felt like a drugged out feeling! Like a nausea but not morning sickness. Well that's how I feel like I'm not "me" kind of out of it and foggy! It's followed with hot flashes! I've never felt like this before with my first or second pregnancy!

I've drank plenty of water, ate, I'm keeping food down and took a nap but still woke up feeling like this!

Any thoughts? Hopefully my dr calls back soon

Pure tiredness can do weird things to our bodies! I kept wondering why I was so tired this time until I realised that the last time I did this I only had 1 child to deal with! Plus I'm 5yrs older than last time and although my kids arent as young as yours, because they are at school I work 5days a week and obviously still have to deal with the kids when they get home from   school!! Its def more tiring being pregnant with other kids to deal with too (and being older!!)

Thank you it gives me so much comfort to know I'm not the only one feeling a bit off! I never had this with my other two but then again when I was pregnant with my first I slept a lot and didn't work! I just went to college which was much easier then dealing with two kids lol it was just my hubby and I then when I was pregnant with my second I was still in school but my daughter was one so she took long naps! So I slept a lot then too haha it was so much easier then a active 2 n 4 yr old! I will mesg. You it's nice to have someone to check in with to make sure things are normal... Even if we're not first time moms we still worry an go through new things :))

Im the same way! Im 31 wks 6 days and ive been going through the same thing. I actually went to the ER 5 days ago. Im definitely hydrated,  tests all came back perfect,  and im not working. Im not sleeping well because im sooo uncomfortable and i have 2 other kids. I get moments where i feel like i have "tunnel vision" or like im floating on a cloud or really air headed. It can be scary!! If ur tests are normal and babies healthy id just try and tolerate it as much as possible and things will go back after u have the baby. Just think of all the stress ur bodies going through right now and all the extra blood your bodies pumping. Your definitely going to have moments where ur body doesn't feel "normal ".

Msg me if u ever need to talk to someone about these weird feelings. Im sure were going through the same thing.

I'm 29 weeks and 5 days with my third pregnancy, I have the same feeling. Mine is because insomnia has kicked in I have two other babies and a home to maintain. I nap with the kids I'm hydrated and am eating well. My Dr said its just because its the end of the pregnancy and my body is working, even when I'm resting, to make this baby and keep it healthy. The baby is growing now faster then ever and you're gonna feel a lot more run down. Its normal. I had it with my first two pregnancies as well. Even if you don't wake up at night you're probably not sleeping in a deep sleep. All this along with the anxiousness of wanting to have the baby is gonna wear you down fast.
