Energy Advice
Hi ladies, I am 14 weeks and 5 days and i just been extremely tired since I was 7 weeks. I don't know if there is certain foods that can boost up my energy but i am in desperate need to know what I can do to gain it back since I have a 3 year old that is very attentive and I am just so tired of being tired!!!?

There's not a whole lot you can do but one thing everyone told me was to try exercise. Also, in my first trimester my iron was low so maybe check with your doctor about amping up on iron rich foods. That tiredness goes away but returns in the third trimester. I'm 35 weeks and I feel like I'm in the first trimester again!! I totally understand!

Eat lots of Protein, it will help with your energy.
Your body is working hard so will probably be tired regardless of what you do but try to get extra rest, even just laying on the couch while your little guy is nearby. I have a 3 1/2 year old boy and a 2 year old girl, there where days I would try to rest, feel like I was in a daze as they climbed all over me on the couch=) Am 23 weeks now and the 2nd trimester is definitely much easier!

Orange juice!!!!! I swear it's a life changer lol and cat naps also. Try and schedule them around the times you are less busy or when your little one takes naps and you'll be fine. Also make sure you are eating enough because your nutrients is being sucked up by baby so you have to compensate.
