Why is pregnancy so tiring?

Generally, women’s immunity will decrease after they become pregnant, making them more susceptible to illness. In addition, the fetus in the abdomen will make the lower abdomen feel like it is falling, so the pregnant mother will feel very heavy. I feel tired and exhausted every day. There is also a hormone secreted by the pregnant mother's body. It can also make the body feel tired, but in fact this hormone has the effect of protecting the baby and the pregnant mother herself. There are some other reasons, as follows.

1. Pregnant women will feel tired day and night in the first few weeks of pregnancy , and 90% of expectant mothers will feel lazy and weak. Experts have found that pregnant women who always feel tired have a hormone similar to an anesthetic secreted by the body itself in their blood. These substances relax the muscle fibers of the uterus, avoiding premature pain, thereby inhibiting uterine contractions and making miscarriage less likely during pregnancy. The fetus can grow freely. The cause of this feeling of fatigue during pregnancy may be hormonal changes, especially a sharp increase in progesterone (also called progesterone).

2. Pregnant mothers may not be able to sleep well after pregnancy, especially when they feel uncomfortable or frequently get up to go to the toilet at night, the quality of sleep will be further affected.

3. Nausea and vomiting can also drain your energy and make you tired. Because pregnancy can make you anxious, it can also cause you to feel nervous and tired. All of the above factors combined together cause fatigue during pregnancy.

Most pregnant women have a hormone secreted by their own body in their blood. This hormone is similar to an anesthetic and its main component is progesterone. This hormone mainly acts on the uterus to relax the muscle fibers of the uterus, avoid premature pain, and allow the fetus to grow undisturbed.

4. First of all , it is very important to develop the habit of taking a nap. If you can take a half-hour nap at noon, you will have more energy throughout the afternoon.

5. Secondly, you can lower the indoor temperature slightly when sleeping, because the body temperature of pregnant women is slightly higher than that of ordinary people, so lowering the temperature will make pregnant women calmer and help them fall asleep; in addition, during this period, pregnant women do not need to pay too much attention to their sleeping posture. Although this period is a critical period for the growth and development of the fetus, it is still small and can be protected by the mother's pelvic cavity, so external forces or the pressure of the pregnant woman herself will not cause harm to the fetus. Therefore, pregnant women during this period can choose a sleeping posture that makes them comfortable so that they can fall asleep better;
