Exhaustion During Pregnancy
Your body is working overtime to grow your baby. Being tired early in pregnancy is well known, but exhaustion later on can catch you off guard, especially with trouble sleeping, heartburn, or leg cramps.
Snack for energy
Try oatmeal, nuts, whole grain cereal, or cheese and crackers, and drink plenty of water throughout the day.
Rest, even without napping
Set a timer on your phone and close your eyes for 10 to 20 minutes.
Get up and move
If you sit a lot at work, stand up and walk around whenever you can.
Go to bed early
Take naps when you can. You're making a baby, and that's hard work!
If you're more exhausted than seems normal, mention it to your doctor or midwife.
