what is this second trimester blooming that they speak of? I certainly seem to have missed out! i'm spotty, irritable, grumpy, can't sleep and am totally exhausted all the time.  To the extent i've had to cut back on my working hours because i physically cannot cope with working more than 3 days a week! I'm on call tonight (which i have to do every 10 days) and i know i'm going to be sick and ill for 2 days after :-(

sorry for the moan!

Yes yes yes, tired, grumpy, lumpy and old looking skin. I was ready for bed by 9am this morning, not really sure how I made it thru the kiddy swimming lesson (in water) and all the stuff I've done, but by 6pm my eyes will glaze over, skin go white and I'll pass out into zombie mode for the night - rubbish.

I'm glad you could cut your hours but omg how are you going to manage tonight? You can always get a dr note to excuse you medically if it's too much - a nurse friend of mine had to resort to that hx

I feel the same way, I thought the second trimester was the honeymoon one where you feel like your old self, I do not feel like it either.

Lets hope it kicks in soon!

i've a midwifes note excusing me from waking nightshift but unfortunately being a manager i still need to do my stint on call which means sleeping on site and hoping to hell i don't get woken up which always happens :-( I only have 3 more to do though as i've managed to cover quite a lot of them so should get easier. 7.5 wks until mat leave is all i can think about lol xx
