Super Tired

Howdy folks!!!

One thing Im having difficulty with is my super tiredness,,, Being a muso Ive been used to working all day Friday and Saturday then having a berrocca and redbull (nasty!) and going to my gigs at night! Sundays used to be my lax day and and now im working 10-2 at the restaurant, 3-7 at my first gig then 9-12 at my second gig! I have lil naps when I get home during the week and try to on a friday before my gig that night, Im just wondering if theres anything I can have to help with my energy levels that wont harm the bebe. Im already taking iron as I was already low... hmmmmm mebe just handle! lol

lots of sleeeeep. hhhm also make sure you are taking vit C with your iron at the same time... or having plenty of big glasses of orange juice (make sure it's the real stuff).... also, don't have milk an hour or so either side of taking the iron tab as calcium interferes with iron absorption.

apparently my midwife said lucozade is ok to have while preggers, but i wouldn't go drinking too much... just as a last resort really... it's great to help if you get a cold while preggy cos it gives you lots of energy to make you feel better. might pay to re-check that with your midwife...

just remember though... your tiredness is probably also related to the stage of pregnancy you are at.. it should start to get better in a few weeks. i know that's not much help right now.... but something to look forward to. in the meantime eat well, get sleep when you can and take care of yourself.

My first trimester I was studying during the day and working at a pub during the night (often until 5am) and I used every single free moment to sleep. I never quite seemed to wake up properly and who knows how I managed to make it to lectures! (Actually probably didn't now I think about it)

Hang in there... second trimester seems to be better for most people!

kewl, thanx everyone! Sleep it is! lol. And i hate to say it, but i have had NO morning sickness,,, i kinda want it! lol, the whole pregnant experience! lol... yes mad i know!

be glad u dont have it lissel lol

when i was preggers with Xander I was weird with m/s. 5 monday mornings in a row and the last week i was sick on the wed also.that was due to havin to skull bak a 750ml bottle of water for my scan on the way to get scan lol and as soon as we pulled up i opened the door and out came all the water i had drunk but scan went ok and nuthing for the rest of his preg.

BUT on the other hand i was nauseous all day everyday for the first 16 weeks I was pregnant with Harmony,and had massive headaches bad enuff to put me in bed to try ease them (bit hard to sleep it off with a almost 2 yr old boy lol)

bt yeah sleep and maybe ask a pharmisists if they suggest someething or go to a shop like health2000 or healthy living(health shops is wot im trying to get at lmao).

Yeah 2nd trimester definatly better than 1st bt 3rd is as bad as 1st  when heartburn kicks in ewwww

 

Anyway..........
