Tips

Check with your midwife or doctor if concerned about your energy levels. 

Check iron levels as anaemia is common in pregnancy and a common cause of low energy levels.

Avoid energy drinks and caffeine. They give short term fixes as your energy level peaks suddenly then drops twice as fast. 

Don't smoke or drink alcohol.

Avoid fried food, sugar and artificial additives.

Increase high quality proteins such as lean chicken, fish and tofu.

Drink at least 8 glasses of water or herbal tea a day.

Get regular gentle exercise.

Ensure your calorie intake is meeting your energy needs.

Minimise stress.

Get enough rest. The work, gardening, chores, shopping can wait. 

Eat balanced, healthy small meals frequently. 

Take warm rather than hot baths or showers.
