Fatigue

I'm sure you are extremely fatigued and many days exercise is the last thing on your mind. If you can manage to peel yourself away from your chair you will feel more energized. Simple ways to help combat pregnancy fatigue;

1. Eat a balanced diet-include protein in each snack
2. Eat often- do not allow your blood sugar to drop
3. Drink plenty of water-allow your body to increase its blood volume as needed and combat muscle cramps
4. Take power naps if possible- even 10 minutes at work can help
5. Schedule more breaks into your work day- it's only temporary, people understand
6. Don't allow yourself to get too hot-layer your clothing
7. Go to bed at least 1 hour earlier when pregnant - your body is working extremely hard reward it with proper rest.
8. Exercise- although your body is already working hard, 2-3 short exercise sessions/week are beneficial for mother and baby and help with fatigue
