Since becoming a mom of two, my energy level has been in the pits. I can’t remember a day I was on time for anything while pregnant, and I have been experiencing difficult moments each day ever since.
I’ve tried waking up early and getting to bed early so that I can take advantage of the necessary rest that I need, and while that works to a certain extent and is very important, it hasn’t been enough to sustain me all day. Around 3 p.m., my body starts to slump, and I’m dragging until after dinner.
I feel like most moms know the slump I'm talking about
No matter the reason, I'm thankful for this discovery
If you’re also feeling that mid-afternoon sluggishness, it never hurts to grab a supplement at the drugstore. The effects of deficiencies in vitamin B12 can be used as tell-tale signs that there may be an issue with your B vitamin levels. And B12 deficiency has been known to show up with early signs of fatigue and lack of energy – so it all connects.
No matter the reason I’m feeling more energetic, the biggest benefit I’m feeling is that I’m consciously paying attention to what I put in my body and prioritizing that. Plus, I’m feeling ready to tackle all of the evening activities (aka the dinner and the endless bedtime routine) thanks to my energy boost.
