Fatigue ... when does it end

[Julia]

This is my third baby, and I remember being tired with the first two but never like this. The fatigue is crushing and with me all the time. Please can someone tell me what it feels like when it goes ... it does go doesn't it Does it fade or what - and how long does it take? I can't remember what it feels like to wake up feeling awake.

Oh I know that feeling it dosen't matter how much you may get in blocks during the night you are still extremly tired. My second baby is 9 weeks old and I'm finding my hole body is exhausted. I think when i do sleep it isn't solid so I'm waking as though I'm not having any.

It will get better I suppose when they sleeping longer stints through the night.

Hi There,

I'm also still 'dead' as they say. Mine is 6 weeks old tomorrow, and although partner takes over to let me sleep occasionally, I still function on less than 6 hrs sleep a day. This from a straight 8hrs a night girl for 9 years! (my other Son is 10)

I honestly can't remember when I stopped feeling fatigued, but IT DOES END. I think the overwhelming feeling of responsibility is also partly why we feel so tired. It doesn't seem fair that in the last stages of PG, we can't sleep properly cos of the 'bump', so in actual fact it is longer than you think since you had a good nights sleep.

Just try and snatch whatever hours you can with baby, I didn't with first born, but I try to now, as he's got more of a pattern than he did when born.
