So tired of being tired. (Rant)
Second time mom, 32 weeks and 4 days. I am so tired of having no energy. I can barely function. I'm not sleepy tired, I'm still getting a decent amount of sleep, I just have no energy or strength in my body.
I feel like an overcooked noodle all the time. On days I work I can barely make it through my shift and when I get home I have no energy to do much of anything. Even when I don't work, I can barely get things done around the house or cook (and I love to cook! It's killing me I don't have the energy to make the things I want to!).
My last blood test did show I have low iron and they're trying to figure out if I'm anemic. However I've already been taking a liquid iron supplement and doubled the dose about two weeks ago. I still feel weak and have no energy. When I brought this up to my doctor, she told me to try getting more sleep and to drink some caffeine! Both of which I was already doing and neither is helping.
Thanks for listening to my rant 😂. Anyone else feel like mush and can't get anything done?
