This is my second pregnancy and I don't know whether I am suffering memory loss or what but I am feeling so much more tired this time... I can barely make it through the day... Is this normal or should I consider seeing my GP about it to make sure its nothing else?

Hi catnip -
second pregnancies are always harder. (i am month 7 of my second.) I think its because we can't rest whenever we want to, we have to stress about baby #1, (and husband baby if they are a baby too) and just the overall balance between your family life and pregnancy is much harder.
That said, one of my doctors asked me to take a blood test to check for anemia - since had some minor complications with bleeding and whatnot. Luckily I was normal, but ask your doctor if you need to be tested for it. If so, it's a simple test, and then the remedy (iron pills which will constipate you to no end) is also simple.

I second the above week 25 with my third and absolutely knackered!!! As for my memory well....
Had a blood test last week and indeed my iron levels were very low, now taking iron tablets and starting to feel abit more human. Hopefully soon I will be able to stay awake past 8pm.
