fatigue

[LexxiMay15]

So I work full time at a retail place as an overnight stocker. I started just about a month before I got pregnant and had no problems with sleeping. By about my 9th  or 10th week, I began to get really fatigued sleeping anywhere between 8 am to 9 pm. sometimes I also from 7:30 am to 10 pm! I'm currently 23 weeks along and I'm still having issues with this. I asked my doctor if this was normal and she said that it is because of my work schedule and my pregnancy. Does anyone have this problem? Does anyone have any advice as to how to feel well rested without all the extra hours of sleep? I'd prefer sleeping 8-9 hours

Sorry didn't see your comment before posting mine. Get some iron supplements and things will change dramatically!

Is your iron low at all? I found taking iron supplements worked immediately, I was no longer fatigued, sleeping less and feeling more awake. :)
