How To Deal With Fatigue In Pregnancy?

Hi I have recently found out i am pregnant with my fourth child. I'm really like not to suffer with sickness, however i am so tired more then i can remember then with my other 3. I have always had low Iron. Do you think this may be the problem. I haven't told my work yet and i don't want them to know yet, but scared i will be unable to hide it. Is there anything i can do or anything you can suggest?
Thanks, Lisa

Hi,
Thanks for your query on HCM platform.
I understand your concern.
It's but natural to have low general condition along with low iron & fatigue after 3 pregnancies, child births & breast feedings. .specially. when it is followed by fourth pregnancy. Morning sickness adds to it.
1. A regular pregnancy check up by a gynecologist/ get advised investigations done & take the medicines prescribedc regularly.
2. Healthy life style consisting of-
- frequent , small servings of nutritious food with adequet proteins ( milk), fresh fruits, veges, salads, sprouts,.fibers .along with plenty of water
- Regular exercises ( Yoga/ walking )
- minimum 8 hours sound sleep,
- positive attitude .
Are the ways to combat fatigue/ have ahealthy pregnancy.
- Hiding pregnancy does not seem to be practicle or beneficial . So no need of hiding the new arrival in your family, that you have accepted willingly/ happily.
thanks.
