I'm pregnant and I'm always sleepy and tired. I have to stay up most of the time because I'm a bookkeeper and work mostly during the day. But I find myself falling asleep in front of my computer 80% of the time... i usually take Red Bull which work wonders but I cannot drink any more caffeine now that I'm pregnant. What can i take to give me more energy without harming my baby?

Just drink water!!! thats it!! nothing really helps....sorry to bust your bubble but its true.....I have been sleepy the ENTIRE pregnancy and I am 39 weeks, I sleep almost over 12 hours a day!!!! Just take naps whenever you can and drink nothing but water, take your vitamins during the day when you wake up, even though they make you feel nausiated it will keep you awake and keep yoru energy up for a while........try eating a healthy bar, or drinking a slurpy, sugar is the only thing that is okay to eat or drink that will energize you....

Tree nuts (cashews, almonds, walnuts), fruits, and lots of water. Try to steer clear of simple carbohydrates like sweets. They give you a blood sugar boost and then when that wears off, you're more tired than ever! Also try to drink water. Sometimes when people are dehydrated, they get tired easily. You may just be trying to get used to not having caffeine. Good luck!

There is an energy drink which is caffeine free called Xs it would not harm your baby but it would give you tons of energy. You can find it through google i believe otherwise go to quixtar.com and you can find it from there.

try to consume vit c. that a nature when a woman get pregnant, she will always more tired than before. because we brought two body in one. you must try to drink energy milk or drink water, like Milo Energy or Pocary Sweat (at my country). It's work for me a few month ago.

Eat proteins, not carbohydrates which give a quick rush. Proteins for preggos, in case you need some suggestions, include hard boiled eggs, hard cheeses.....
