Anyone else extra tired?

I'm just about 4 months out and for the past 2 weeks or so I am incredibly tired/sleepy most of the time. Of course, working full time, having 2 kids, and all the normal stuff usually had me tired/worn out, but now I am TIRED...almost to the point of exhaustion on the weekends. It is nothing for me to get up, go to the gym, then sleep the rest of Saturday afternoon away if I can. Same goes for Sundays. I am rarely idle, sitting here is my only downtime. I work out 3-5 days a week doing cardio and weights, I am getting in more than my 64 oz a day, recently been getting a little extra protein to try to slow my hair loss, and I take my vitamins faithfully. What could be causing this exhaustion? I know that the more weights I do, the more likely I am to be tired, but this is getting in the way of my life. Any suggestions anyone may have would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Christine

Consider how much fpood, protein and water you are consuming daily. You have to be active to be a mom to young kids, so make sure you are taking in the required protein. Are you also keeping up with your supplements? Good luck.

My guess would be IRON, but I'm no doctor. Sounds like you need a blood work-up! Take care... and I KNOW how hard it can be... but YOU can do it!! Hugs, Tammy

Yep get the iron checked.......Did you have lab work at your three month check up ...I did and normal iron range is 40-140 mine was a 12......................Sooooooooooooo as you can see i was LOW...since i have upped my iron i feel ALOT better.........soooo get the iron checked is my advise...........Hugs Darlene

I just had my 3 month checkup in the beginning of Feb and my labs were fine. I'm going to call and double check though and ask if I should add more iron (ugh, that means more bathroom issues). Thanks!
