should I have some coffee/tea?

I usually get tired as the day wears on, but today I feel like I woke up completely exhausted. I'm having a hard time keeping my eyes open and I work at my dance studio from 1:30-8:30pm today. I feel like all I want to do is sleep, but I know that's not an option. I'm not normally a coffee drinker, even when I'm not pregnant, but I really feel like I need an extra kick today. Should I go ahead and have a cup of coffee, or would that be bad? I really feel like I'm not going to make it through the day without something.

i wouldn't I would actually do some deep breathing to get more oxygen flowing to your brain. I was ready to fall asleep on my desk this morning, but I just taught two periods of chorus and made sure to sing and warm-up with the kids and I feel so much more awake.

At your point in your pregnancy, I don't think caffinine is going to help at all. I remember having days like that where I could have fallen asleep at my desk if I dared to close my eyes.

I'm just concerned because I have to be on my feet for 7 hours straight dancing, and I just don't know if I'm going to make it.

First try eating something with protein and a complex carb. The slow release of energy from foods high in those nutrients should help keep you going for that long stretch.

And then, a little later, if you still feel like you need the extra kick, sure, go right ahead and treat yourself to nice cup of coffee!

I would also try taking a walk outside. The air is pretty brisk- that may help you. I never found that caffeine really perked me up pre-pregnancy anyway.
