Helpful Suggestion to Any Dealing With Fatigue in 2nd Tri

Sunny528 · January 2014

Hi Ladies,

I saw a recent post about some people still dealing with a lot of fatigue in the 2nd trimester. One thing I thought I'd suggest that might help is juicing. I juice spinach or kale, with oranges or apples and drink that mix almost every day at breakfast. I drink a little more than a 1/2 cup. I can honestly say that I notice a difference in my energy level on the days I juice and days that I don't. My MIL even commented on how surprised she was with all of my energy to do different things while she was visiting in town during the holidays.

I know juicing is not for everyone, but if you want something that will provide you and baby with good nutrients and help give you a natural boost, I highly recommend it!

Or just eat those things as part of your breakfast and get energy + fiber.

Yup, that can be done too.

Yes I've juiced before- delicious, but my energy high was definitely from the natural sugars sans fiber making my blood sugar spke. So now if I juice I make sure I have protein with it

Now I really want an avocado spinach omelet and glass of OJ.

That is exactly what I was thinking when I responded. Now I want breakfast for dinner. I do like juice, but I'm too starving all the time to not be able to eat all my delicious calories.

Thanks so much, I'm going to start using my juicer!
