Advice For Fighting the Tireds

CristalBelle Posts: 1,389 Joined: 2003/06/27	2006/10/26, 11:43 AM Hello my lady friends. I need some tips/advice from ya. I've hit the 3rd trimester, and all the energy I had in the 2nd trimester is GONE. Flat out gone. The last 2 weeks, I am ready for bed by 8, and when I get up at 5:30, I fall asleep on the couch until 6:30. I'm not tired all day long, but around 4 I hit a wall, and could really snuggle down for a nap. Is there anything I can do to combat this? I'm still eating well, walking, and doing my normal stuff, and I know I can't take any energy suppliments cause they aren't good for Paul. Is there ANYTHING to fight the tireds??

Take a nap mid day, it's a good habit to get into now, because you're going to need to grab sleep whenever you can after the baby arrives!! I know I was pretty much exhausted during my 3rd trimester...even more so with my second child...
