Any natural remedies to assist with permanent tiredness during pregnancy. I am 13 weeks along?
Hi there,
I am 13 weeks pregnant with my second child and permanently tired. I work full time and have a 16 month old at home. I feel so useless, because I just cannot stay awake by the end of the day. Is there any natural advice you can give me to get my energy levels up?
Michelle answers:
Pray and get some friends or family to help you so you can sneak in a nap here and there. Bananas seemed to help me because of the potassium. I know the feeling quite well. My daughter was 2 1/2 when I was 13 weeks along and I couldn’t keep up.

Violent bouts of cough and sore throat in 8th week of pregnancy. Natural remedies please…loads of phlegm too?
I am a non smoker, and currently vacationing in a coastal area in S.India, Not exposed to fumes or other toxics…Have a doubt whether it is the hot weather…as I am used to the cold climate. I am sweating a lot.
Michelle answers:
Did you just quit smoking? I have seen many women experience similar symptoms after they stop smoking. Did you inhale any fumes or chemicals? The symptoms you describe could also be caused by that as well. If you think its a cold, cough drops, a humidifier and Tylenol or Robitussin DM are considered relatively safe to take during pregnancy. I suggest you see your doctor, just to be on the safe side.

Natural remedies for bladder infections during pregnancy?
My daughter is about 14 weeks pregnant and she has a bladder infection. She called her doctor’s office, but was told to take extra strength tylenol until her appointment on Monday (Today is Friday).
Should she go to the ER?
Michelle answers:
Wow…I would seek a second opinion. A bladder infection during pregnancy shouldn’t be taken lightly. Not to mention it’s painful and will get worse if left untreated. If unable to get second opinion then I would go straight to the ER.
Edit: I’d also look to change obgyns permanently what quack would want her to wait until Monday?!? That’s a joke!
