Hi Archie and all,

Its been long time i have posted any message. How is everything with you Anu,Hetal, Viji,SHelly Manvi and everyone?

Since 3-4 days I have been feeling very tired. I took off yesterday from work, Rested whole day. I felt good today in morning , but now I am again feeling very weak, feeling like no energy to do anything.
I am on Iron supplement as my HB count was low in 28 th week. I completed 33 week today. I know these days I am suppose to feel tired , but suddenly how is it possible.
I always have constant leg pain , ask hubby to massage them daily.
I m taking my vitamins tab and regular diet, milk fruits everything.
What should I do to ease all these, still 6-7 weeks to go for me. I can not take off from work also.
Please suggest....

pinki Anu replied. Rest is the best medicine for all your problems.

I hope you are taking good calcium and protein supplements too along with your vitamins & iron supplements. Ensure that you have Vit. C also while you take iron supplements (or) better daily have a glassful of orange juice while you are on iron supplements.it helps better absorption of iron in the body.

You can also catch up with natural sources too as datefruits,spinach and beetroot which are rich sources of iron.

Listen to your body & whenever you feel like resting,please give it. If you cant take off from work,while at sitting posture I suggest keeping your legs in a raised position (not normal hanging down position) May be another little chair/stool must help you for keeping ur legs in a semi raised position. I was
also getting much leg pains earlier. Now feeling better with this position.

Drink plenty of water & keep urself hydrated at all times. Take good care :-)

Love & Care,

At this point in time you do expect all this. I think its becoz u dnt get complete night sleep. I too was going through the same. Now I have started on leave and find that taking rest as and when required is the only remedy. I have completed 35 weeks and only waiting for the time to pass and the D-day to arrive.
Just take lots of rest and eat well.

Take care all of you n Pinki and keep updated us updated about recent changes.
Fingers crossed all will go well...

love
Shelly hetal replied. Hi Pinki,

I completely understand how you must be feeling. i also feel tired these days. i've energy in the morning but in the evening i'm exhausted.
if i have good sleep i feel better. try to get good sleep. do some walking and exercise so that you get good sleep at night. i think 15 minutes yoga stretches will also ease out your legs pain and aches. also drink lots of water.
hope you feel better... this will pass by soon...:)
