How do I fight the fatigue?

Question

My body is so fatigued it's sore. I had to cut out my caffeine because I found out I'm pregnant and I work constant 12 hour shifts varying from days to nights. 
😪😪😪😪 
Me and my little seedling 🌱  are gonna have some issues the next 38 weeks (ish) if this keeps up. 
I CANNOT be this tired all the time baby 👶.

Answer

Ahhh I cannot imagine 12 hour shifts normally, let alone pregnant. The good news is, most doctors say up 250-300 mg of caffeine a day is fine, so you can usually get in a cup of coffee at least, unless you have a specific medical reason you can't. I have had a cup nearly every day of my pregnancy (and once or twice a second cup) and baby is healthy as can be thus far. Secondly, the fatigue does calm down some as the weeks go by, but it is still a struggle some days! Good luck and congrats!!!

Answer

Girl I feel you! I was EXHAUSTED my whole first trimester. I too quit caffeine cold turkey and haven't had any since I found out. I work 12hr shifts as well! Honestly I never found anything really to help lol I just slept non stop on my weekends to try to make up for it! thankfully as I got to around 12wks my energy has picked up some and now at 14wks I still get tired but not nearly as bad. Make sure you are drinking enough water and eating enough protein as well as carbs as they can help with energy! you got this!
