Most women have fatigue during pregnancy There are many reasons that your fatigue level rises during pregnancy. Your body is spending energy working to create and support your baby. The hormone progesterone rising levels can contribute to the feeling of fatigue.
Many pregnant women experience fatigue during the first trimester and report that this symptom improves during their second trimester. However, by the third trimester women report that their energy levels drop once again. Fatigue can also be a result of the additional weight your body is carrying around at this time. This contributes to feelings of discomfort and results in insomnia and cramping which makes it difficult to get enough rest.
