How to Fight Fatigue During Pregnancy

While the symptoms generally improve during the second trimester, some women feel tired throughout pregnancy. Talk to your health-care provider if you experience:

• Sudden fatigue

• Fatigue that doesn’t go away with adequate rest

• Severe fatigue a few weeks into your second trimester

• Depression or serious worries
