I am 8 months pregnant and I am starting to have extreme fatique. It feels like someone has sucked the life right out of me. Even if I sleep 8 hrs a night it feels like I didn`t sleep at all. Should I be concerned or is this normal?

I don't think any of us who are 8+ months are sleeping very well but that extreme fatigue is usually caused by low iron....ask your doc. they should have done a blood test around 32 weeks

Get checked by your Dr. This started happing to me when I was in my 8th month with my son and it turned out my blood pressure was really high. I ended up with Pre-eclampsia. They ended up inducing a few weeks later cause it got too high and dangerous.
