5 Tips to Tackle Pregnancy Fatigue

1. Get more sleep. Pregnant women battle fatigue from early on in the pregnancy. It's important to listen to your body and get adequate rest when possible. Even going to bed 10-15 earlier or waking up 10-15 minutes later can make a big difference.

2. Exercise. As impossible as it seems, exercise is an excellent way to fight fatigue.  Even as little as 15 minutes a day of aerobic exercise can help to decrease fatigue.

3. Healthy Foods. Foods can act like medicine. Unprocessed, healthy foods can improve stamina and decrease tiredness.

4. Fluids. Staying hydrated and drinking plenty of fluids can increase energy.

5. Take vitamins. B complex vitamins boost energy if consumed daily. Also continuing to take a prenatal vitamin or other vitamins that are prescribed can help fight fatigue related to anemia or a vitamin deficency.
