Is it normal to be so exhausted

[Jen8950]

I am almost 35 weeks pregnant, I still am working full time. I don't do anything hard, I work in the HR department. but the past week I've been so exhausted I'm having a hard time keeping myself focused at work. I'm like falling asleep at my desk. Then I get off work, go home  to my dh and ds cook dinner, then head to bed. Is it normal just to be so tired all the time. I don't remember being like this with my frist.
Thanks!

thanks guys for all the advice.
This is my 2nd child, my first is going on 7 yrs old now. and honestly I don't remember anything really. I didn't work with my first so I slept all the time. but this time around I feel like i'm fighting to find time to rest.

Very normal. I didnt work when Iwas 35 weeks but I wassooo tired andslept a lot... I am assuming this is your first baby so I am goingto give you a good piece of advice.. Rest as much as possible, you wont get much when the baby is born! Have a great 5 weeks or so!

Perfectly normal, especially if you sit a lot for your job.  

I'm a teacher, so I have been off work for a few weeks now.  Ironically, I am more tired than when I was working!  I think because being on my feet all day teaching class was somehow easier on me than being home with 3 kids, LoL.  I also notice that when I sit for any length of time, I cannot stop yawning.   Yesterday my dd and I met some friends at the library to play Scrabble (how dorky, right?:) ) and I could barely keep my eyes open!
I would try to get up and take a little walk as often as possible (and not just to the bathroom!) and see if that helps.

If you werent tired in your 3 rd trimester I would say you must be super woman, lol. I will be 32 weeks tomorrow and if I sit down for any lenghth of time I start dozing, lol. I am a SAHM of 3 boys ages 8 years - 9 months. I dont feel like I do  a whole lot during the day but it doesnt seem to matter im still so tired I could sleep all day if someone would let me. Sleep while you can..........BTW I have the same problems sleeping at night. Whatever side im laying on (left or right) I wake up with it kinda numb. I have never had that problem before. And getting up to pee every hour is not helping either:( Its worth it in the end! I wish the end would get here SOON:) Good luck with getting some extra rest:)

I can barely sleep as it is. I lay down normally around 8:30ish. but then my legs go numb and tingley so then I lay trying to get comfortable. Normally by 12 i fall asleep. then back up at 6:30. well thats when I get up for work. I'm up about 4 times a night peeing.

I will be 35 weeks tomorrow and I get exhausted very easily.  There are a lot of days that I am in bed by 8:30pm.  I do believe that it is quite common to get fatigued later on in pregnancy.  Sleep as much as you can now....
