How to increase energy while pregnant?

Question

I'm almost 14 weeks with baby #2 and I can't believe I'm still so tired. I'm usually good in the morning but a zombie after 2-3pm (even with a nap). My iron level is on the low end of normal so not sure if that's it. I have so much mom guilt because I'm so tired in the afternoon and I'm probably boring my toddler.

Answer

I’m still waiting for energy at almost 30 weeks. I too have very low iron levels and was put on iron pills however no change I’m still extremely exhausted from the moment I wake up I feel like I haven’t slept at all. My poor toddler just wants to play play play and I just don’t have the energy especially outside he wants to just run all over and well I can’t run after him like I use to.

Answer

After 4 babies soon to be 5, I don't think increasing energy during pregnancy is a thing lol. The women who do have energy are lucky freaks of nature lol. (I'm jealous). I have a 11, 9, 3, and 2 yr old so I've tried everything. Naps, water, exercise and bunches of random things on the internet lol. None have helped me yet. If you find the thing that works please let me know!!!

Answer

I too was on the low end of normal for iron. My dr said no need to take extra iron but I know my body and started to take an extra pill anyway. It has helped a ton, but am still tired by the end of the day. It takes a lot ot to grow a human!!
