What to do if you feel weak during pregnancy

Pregnancy and childbirth is a very long process, and it is not easy for every mother. It is well known that pregnant women will have pregnancy reactions to varying degrees, but most of the reactions are more severe in the first three months of pregnancy, and there are almost no reactions after three months. However, some pregnant women may suffer from fatigue, edema, etc. due to their heavy bodies. So what should you do if you feel weak during pregnancy? Let’s take a closer look at it!

1. After a woman becomes pregnant, the secretion of human chorionic gonadotropin and hormones in the body increases, which causes the body's movements to become sluggish, so she feels "always sleepy." In addition, the body's basal metabolism increases after pregnancy, the body's calories are consumed quickly, and insufficient blood sugar is also a cause of drowsiness and fatigue. In addition, the anxiety and anticipation during preparation for pregnancy and after pregnancy can also make the body feel tired.

2. Be in a good mood. Maintain a good mood and get enough sleep. Rest as much as possible when you want. After 3 months, when the placenta is formed, sleepiness and fatigue will be relieved. Maintain a normal work and rest routine. Although you feel drowsy all day, try to maintain the same work and rest routine as usual. You can find something interesting to divert your attention, which will help relieve the symptoms of drowsiness and fatigue. Prevent insufficient blood sugar. After pregnancy, the body's metabolism increases and calories are consumed quickly. You can eat small meals frequently to maintain a certain blood sugar concentration. This can also relieve drowsiness, fatigue and rest.

3. Dizziness and fatigue in the third month of pregnancy may be caused by anemia. Because the fetus also needs nutrition for growth and development after pregnancy, these are provided by the mother, so it is easy to be anemic. Pregnant women with anemia can supplement food and iron supplements. Eat more iron-rich foods, such as pork liver, lean meat, egg yolks, red dates, mushrooms, spinach, raisins, lotus seeds, etc. Iron supplements can be taken directly in the form of Tiezhiyuan tablets, which are specifically designed to improve anemia. They are absorbed without consuming stomach acid and will not irritate the stomach and intestines. Generally, it will take effect after two weeks of taking it, but you must persist in taking it for two to three months to completely improve the anemia. During the first few weeks of pregnancy, your body is working around the clock to support your pregnancy, and fatigue is your body's response. The progesterone produced after pregnancy will increase your basal body temperature, so you will lack physical energy. Also, your heart rate will increase to provide more oxygen to the uterus, so you will feel tired.
