I am so tired. Alex has finally been sleeping through the night for the last week but I am so knackered. I am sleeping well (well I think so anyway) and am eating well and am doing some exercise each day. I have some iron tablets and I am going to start taking them again as I know when AF visits I take them as I feel the way I do now (she left a few days ago).
Thanks for any advice |

| Have you had B12 checked. I can have high iron and low B12 and feel like I need a nap half way through the day. I can tell mine is getting low now as its only 5pm and it feels more like 10 |

Have you had your iron checked to make sure your actually low in iron?
I only ask, cos my family has haemacromatosis (argh! spelling?) which is high iron, and you get the same symptoms with high as you do when you have low iron... |

Could it be your body being able to feel tired now that you are catching up on sleep? I know when I get more sleep than I'm used to I feel tired for a while before I get used to it again.
Getting your levels check is a good idea too just to rule it out. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I keep joking that's what it is EsmesMum.
I shall go to the Doctor when DH is home from work in 2 weeks and get some blood taken as I have to get other exciting things done too. Thanks for the input ladies much appreciated

I hate to say this but if it's not your iron (and it could well be), it could be a symptom of Post-Natal Depression. PND can be around in your baby's first 2yrs of life so just coz he's becoming a toddler doesn't mean it's not!
If you can rule out anything medical, I would look at other symptoms of PND to see if it's a possibility. One of the many symptoms is absolute exhaustion. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Go to the Doctors, get some tests done to see if you are lacking something.
Maybe a weekend away or a day off if possible. |

lol Henna, if it's ongoing that is unlikely but if it's only been a week or so then that could be it.
GL at the Dr ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">
