If you asked most women they would probably say that fatigue during pregnancy is one of the most difficult symptoms to deal with.
It's hard to stay energized when all you want to do is curl up on the bed and float off to the Land of Nod.
It's hardly surprising that you're tired though...
you're creating a whole new human being inside of you...
if that's not tiring work then I don't know what is (tell that to your hubby the next time he thinks he's had a hard day! ;) ) It can often be difficult to sleep well at night during pregnancy and so this can aggravate the feelings of fatigue and tiredness further, as can rising levels of hormones like progesterone.
Here I'm going to give you some tips that you can use to reduce the fatigue during pregnancy and show you how to deal with and combat the tiredness demons once and for all.
Get Regular Exercise "Hang on a minute Julia...
I just told you I'm shattered and now you want me to get even more tired?" Don't worry, it may sound crazy but exercising on regular basis (preferably every day) will actually improve the quality of your sleep at night, allowing you to rest and recuperate fully, instead of the usual tossing and turning that leads to a poor night's rest and fatigue the following day.
Exercising will also encourage the body to produce endorphins will help the blood circulation and make you feel more energized and in a better frame of mind.
You'll also be healthier and your labor shouldn't be as laborious! Eat Smaller Meals More Regularly By doing this you will avoid the bloated feeling that normally accompanies large meals, and will therefore not feel so tired or the need to sleep so often.
Eating smaller meals more regularly will help keep your energy reserves up, as there will be shorter gaps between meals, which will prevent you from snacking (particularly on sugary foods) and will keep your metabolism more balanced, thus reducing the possibility of suffering from fatigue during pregnancy.
Eat Healthily Similar to above, the more junk food you eat the more likely you are to feel zapped and tired during the day.
Try to eat plenty of lean proteins throughout the day along with drinking plenty of water.
This will help maintain a steady stream of energy to your body and provide you with the vitamins and minerals you need to take on the day, while the water will help cleanse and detox your body leaving you energized and ready to take on the world
