Anything I can take for an energy boost?

Not sure if this helps but they say an apple is better than a cup of coffee for getting you up and going in the morning, so maybe the old 'apple a day' is worth a go?

Berocca is great, I had it on my second pregnancy with my daughter now 4 years old.

vitamin B complex and fresh juice in the morning, do you have a juicer? hope santa brings you your glow

i rekon i got it without really noticing it, i kept waiting for that big kick that suddenly i had all this energy, but when you are running around after other kids etc i think your energy may boost without really noticing it! i was having freshly squeezed orange juice but now the reflux has set in i think i need to avoid that and try something else.
it was found i had really low iron when i went for my first pg blood test so i have been taking tablets ever since, if i miss a couple of days i definatly notice my energy level drop, so you never know if your iron is low you would definatley not be feeling that second trimester boost

I was going to suggest iron and vit B too. I also get a bit down and lack energy if my vit D levels get low.

I missed the pregnancy glow with DD, but this time it kicked in around 22 weeks or so. So it may still happen for you.

Thanks everyone. I managed to get a blood test before we went away and my iron levels were fine so I guess its just normal pregnancy for me. Now on restricted activity after problems while on holiday so I guess my energy boost is no longer required anyway
