How to manage tiredness during pregnancy


It can be tough fighting tiredness during pregnancy – especially in the latter stages.

There are a few things you can do to help you feel less tired:


• Taking 20 minutes 'time out' mid morning and mid afternoon could recharge your batteries.

• Putting your feet up could ease any fluid retention and help you relax more.

• If you're tired, a healthy balanced diet is even more important to keep your immunity levels high.

• Iron rich foods, like leafy green veg, can boost your energy too.

• Try not to rely on sugary food to get you through the day.

• Take all the offers of help you can.

• Relax, rent a film, do some on-line shopping – whatever takes your fancy.

• Maybe treat yourself to a day off. You deserve it!
