So so tired...

Is anyone else still dealing with extreme fatigue? Getting through the day is a struggle, even after a twelve hour night, and a nap during the day. Has anything helped? Any tips or recommendations?

    Hi, I've been dealing with this. I read and have experienced that eating 5 small meals a day has really kept my energy levels up a little more. Large meals or unhealthy snacks make it hard to keep my eyes open at all. Hope that helps!

    My energy seems to be increasing lately... I think. Are you taking your vitamins? Extra B vitamins might help you. Have you tried exercising a little bit? Even adding a little walking might help increase your energy. How are you eating? Make sure you are eating several small healthy meals throughout your day.

    I'm in the same boat with the extreme tiredness. :( It's hard getting through dinner. :( It is also hard to remember to eat 5 small meals while working. I need to set an alarm. :)

    I walk my kid to daycare and then walk home, so it's a 40 minutes walk in the morning, and a 40 minute walk in the early afternoon. I've also been doing the five small meals a day and taking a prenatal vitamin. I'll try adding more fruit and vegetables to my diet.

    Oh yeah. By 2pm, I'm ready for bed...it makes it soooo hard to get homework done and be even remotely productive. I eat small meals throughout the day, I take my vitamins, I sleep pretty well...I just can't shake the fatigue. I'm going to bring it up at my next OB appt...but that's not til the 25th

    Are you drinking enough water? That might help.

    I was going to say exercise because that definitely helps. But I know how hard that can be to get motivation when your extremely tired. Hopefully it passes for you soon!

    I'm definitely having it still...but it's pretty much the norm for me because of thyroid disease. Pregnancy definitely makes me triple exhausted!

    Soo tired. I have not been sleeping well. Restless tossing and turning. I work with 3 year olds and am on my feet and active most of the day so I am exhausted! Heading to bed right now as a matter of fact.

    So many naps and when it becomes night time, there is so much tossing and turning. It's so hard getting motivation to get out for a walk. Then with dizziness that comes with pregnancy, I need help with this too! I do find that getting invited to do something fun helps get you out of the house and feeling less lazy.
