Sleeping to much during pregnancy?

When was the last time you had your iron levels checked?

That much tiredness sounds excessive for the second trimester.

Talk to your OB or MW about your iron, you may be anemic.

I was going to suggest you get your iron levels checked as well. I got really tired during the middle of my pregnancy too so they checked my iron and it was dangerously low. I had to have 2 iron infusions and felt FANTASTIC after I had them. It's really important that you have this checked because you do not want to go into labor with low iron and lose a bunch of blood. I hope your docs can help figure it out for you.

I have been feeling this way as well....but when I bring it up to the ob they act like it is normal.  I have 3 other children and I have never felt this exhausted.  I specifically asked for them to do blood work last week and he told me he is going to wait till the next appointment.  Its always a waiting game with this ob....ughhhh.

 Thanks for all the replies!!! I am def going to have my iron levels checked because I have been anemic before. My iron levels were good so far in the beginning. I am going to have to let my Ob know and have her check my levels.
