Fatigue During Pregnancy

Fatigue is most common during the first trimester, though often reappears towards the end of the pregnancy. The good news about fatigue during pregnancy is that it’s entirely natural. 
 
The hormones coursing through your system could very well trigger many changes, including the fatigue that makes you want to sleep all the time. In addition to that, your body is busy creating a higher blood volume and other things for the baby, and that means that you are working overtime. 
 
Fatigue during pregnancy might show up again close to the time of birth, because your body is working so hard to help the baby grow – and of course, you are carrying around a lot of extra weight!
 
Dealing with fatigue during pregnancy might seem impossible, especially if you have to work or have other obligations to attend to. But there really are ways to work around the bone-crushing fatigue that you might be feeling.
