This is my second pregnancy and first time round I worked full time. It snowed all winter in Durham, I used to dig the car out sometimes and at weekends / evenings when not working I had some semblance of a social life. My husband lived 3 hours drive away working elsewhere.

I'm 22 weeks now and absolutely shattered. I need 12 hours sleep a day and if I don't leave the house in a day, it doesn't really worry me. Ive worked dribs and drabs (I freelance) but spent a lot of time at home. Sure I have a toddler, but hubby's taking most of the weight of childcare.
Life's been tricky lately but a long way from hopeless: I don't feel remotely depressed, just tired.

Is this normal??
 
I am not an expert but there is not much harder things you can do yourself(get pregnant). You are looing after 2 ! Good luck 🙂
 
Just the way it grabs you I think Lizzzie unfortunately.

I recall a colleague being exactly the same as you but with her first.

She had 3 more and was never ever as wiped out as the first one. Mad.

I'm 26 weeks and am just about surviving on 12 hours sleep. Outside of work I'm doing very little, I just don't have the energy. I'm a bit better at weekends, but still knackered.

I've just put it down to this baby growing business being hard work!
 
Hi noticed u are from Durham I was wondering what the pregnancy care like at Durham hospital
 
Totally normal. When I was pregnant with my second I was a zombie, I didnt work at the time but having a toddler whilst expecting is hard work! Xx
 
Thanks guys. Phew!!!

I was only working in Durham I'm afraid, my hospital was quite a ways Sputh of that. I went to the hospital in Newcastle when I got a bit worried about the baby at somepoint and they were excellent.

Now, sleepy time again.....

Zzzzzzzzzz
