Pregnancy is an incredible time not only for the transformation of the body, but also of the mind and life. Everything needs to be adapted to receive the new life and adapt the arrival of the baby to a new routine. In fact, it is the arrival of the baby that changes everyone’s routine for the sake of their care. However, it is not just joy that this moment is surrounded, since during the gestational period the woman needs to face many changes in her body and deal exhaustively until the day of delivery. Thus, it is very common to hear complaints of pain, discomfort, difficulty sleeping and especially fatigue in pregnancy.
It is natural to feel fatigue in pregnancy, after all there are so many changes in the body and also in hormonal levels that it is impossible not to suffer any reaction. But, the truth is that during the nine months of pregnancy there will be moments of great disposition and also of great fatigue . After all, the gestational period is a real roller coaster of feelings, sensations and transformations, and the discomforts are inevitably part of that moment.
Main Cause of Pregnancy Fatigue
Every quarter new symptoms will appear, after all with each change of the body, symptoms and discomfort will appear, not to mention the overload of the organism to help in the placental and baby formation. Pregnancy fatigue, for example, can begin in the first few weeks with the drastic hormonal change that the woman’s body undergoes during this period. In some cases, accompanied by severe nausea and vomiting , in addition to dizziness and difficulty sleeping, which kills anyone, causing uncontrollable fatigue.
Not to mention the constant visits to the bathroom, including at night, which affects the quality of sleep. The ideal is for the pregnant woman to rest whenever possible, and take naps to be able to compose herself. Even with your belly still small, weightless, be sure to ask for help whenever necessary and know your limit. Following a healthy dietary routine and practicing low-impact physical exercises are also positive points to help control fatigue in pregnancy and thereby reduce other discomfort during pregnancy.
Even though pregnancy fatigue is normal, excessive tiredness can have another indication, that of anemia. That is why it is essential to keep prenatal visits up to date and perform all the examinations requested by the obstetrician for pregnancy monitoring. The use of gestational vitamin supplements is indicated in this period exactly to assist in that moment and to meet all the vitamin needs of the woman and for fetal development.
Thinking about the nutritional needs and also the women’s difficulties during the gestational phase, Patricia Amorim in partnership with the company Famivita, developed a complete gestational multivitamin with all the important vitamins and minerals for fetal development with a differential of the other vitamins, the size of the capsule. As it is very difficult to swallow capsules and tablets during the period of nausea and nausea, which in some cases can extend throughout pregnancy, the vitamin FamiGesta is produced in small capsules that are easily swallowed, the size of MM’s.

If anemia is confirmed, an iron-rich menu and even the use of an iron supplement will be indicated to combat this vitamin deficiency, which can cause serious damage to the health of the woman and the developing baby.
How to Relieve Pregnancy Tiredness
Unfortunately, there is no instruction manual that will solve and end all discomforts, especially in the gestational phase. But it is possible to at least reduce or relieve them with some care and tips.
Not all pregnant women have the possibility to always rest, since many even pregnant women, continue in their professional routines normally. But even at work, take time out in the middle of the day to stretch your legs, walk and get some rest . Even if it means stretching your legs for a while, even stopping to help with your circulation.
If you wake up early to work or study, try to sleep as early as possible as well. This way you will have good hours of quality sleep, even if you have to get up a few times to go to the bathroom. Create a sleep routine to relax , like taking a warm bath, have a chamomile tea and lie down disconnecting from the world, preferably without taking your phone to bed, as it is proven how it affects sleep, making us more agitated .
Reduce daily agitation! If you used to mend work for a walk or even kick your legs in the mall after work, start regulating your routine. Limit yourself and control to have free time with tranquility, without much agitation, since a healthy pregnancy needs a quiet period for the woman to be well.
Do you know that phrase that “pregnancy is not a disease? ”. It really is a truth, but that is not why we must extrapolate and want to do everything we did before we were pregnant. Avoid making great efforts and leave some activities for people to help you, this is included some activities at home too, ask for help from your partner or even a family member, if you cannot pay for the help service.
On weekends, plan to relax and get plenty of sleep. Maybe a movie marathon with hubby and even friends? If you want to stroll, opt for more peaceful places, which transmit peace and tranquility like a walk in the park, outdoors. We must also not forget about dating during the gestational phase . After all, you are pregnant, but on active duty, this is clear if you do not have any medical recommendations due to pregnancy risks!
A tip for pregnant women: do you want to improve the pleasure of sex during the gestational phase? Use water-based lubricating gels that play the role of cervical mucus by improving lubrication, increasing pleasure and even controlling vaginal pH, reducing the chances of proliferation of fungi and bacteria responsible for infections. Famivita has developed the perfect lubricant for pregnant women and pregnant women, the FamiGel . You can buy it here in our online store.
Keeping yourself calm, eating healthily and slowing down the rush, I’m sure that fatigue in pregnancy will reduce. As we said at the beginning, it is all a phase and during those 9 months, there will be moments of great energy, a lot of joy, but fatigue and tiredness will sometimes be inevitable. The important thing is that everything is worth it in the end, when you take the most precious asset of your life in your arms!
However, if fatigue in pregnancy persists, be sure to talk to your obstetrician for further evaluations and, if possible, indicate a treatment or vitamin that will help you improve during this phase.
My name is Dr. Alexis Hart I am 38 years old, I am the mother of 3 beautiful children! Different ages, different phases 16 years, 12 years and 7 years. In love with motherhood since always, I found it difficult to make my dreams come true, and also some more after I was already a mother.
Since I imagined myself as a mother, in my thoughts everything seemed to be much easier and simpler than it really was, I expected to get pregnant as soon as I wished, but it wasn’t that simple. The first pregnancy was smooth, but my daughter’s birth was very troubled. Joana was born in 2002 with a weight of 2930kg and 45cm, from a very peaceful cesarean delivery but she had already been born with congenital pneumonia due to a broken bag not treated with antibiotics even before delivery.
