Third Trimester Tiredness

The other day I started getting really tired in the afternoon. So tired, in fact, that I took a nap while my daughter was napping. I haven’t done this in a couple of months.  The next day the same thing happened. I was exhausted and took a little rest in the afternoon. Was I getting sick?

I decided to look at a couple of my pregnancy books and I quickly realized that I had just started my third trimester! Could the tiredness have really turned on like a light switch at the start of my third trimester?

I am a week into my third trimester and still feeling pretty tired every afternoon. I’m doing my best to take advantage of this little extra sleep each day. I know I won’t be able to get it after the baby is born.
