Pots syndrome / chronic fatigue

You popped up on my feed, I have HSD and fatigue can sometimes be really bad. I have a 5 year old and an 11 month old, and I can tell you pregnancy tired is something else! It completely floored me second time around, just prioritise rest as much as you possibly can. Take all the short cuts, keep your sugar levels under control and just know it’s normal to feel so wiped at this stage. You’ve got this 🫶

Hey I have hsd and pots. I wish I could tell you it gets easier but i can’t. The fatigue floored me also in pregnancy and I had to go sick from work for last 3 months although I do have a job where I was stood up a lot. My biggest recommendation to help would be electrolyte drinks (be careful to get ones without caffiene) I liked the vimto ones and would have 1-2 a day. I did find the pots and fatigue eased up a bit mid way through 2nd trimester.
I am breast feeding and I wish I didn’t as that’s made it pretty bad also but I feel I’m now stuck doing it.
You got this mama and if you ever want to reach out to vent about pots please feel free to message me x

Oh and try and eat lots of protein x

I can’t help in terms of what helps unfortunately as I’m 4 weeks but I’m in the same boat as you, I’ve been quite symptomatic and absolutely floored in terms of fatigue. I’ve been trying to prioritise electrolyte drinks and the Liquid IV brand seems to be working for me at the minute. And just trying to allow myself to rest whenever I get a minute! Hope everything goes well for you xx
