PETALING JAYA: Pregnancy can be physically demanding in ways that are both obvious and less visible. Hormonal shifts, disrupted sleep, a growing baby and the increasing demands placed on the body can all leave expectant mothers feeling tired.
But there is a point at which fatigue deserves a closer look, particularly when it becomes persistent, excessive, or is accompanied by symptoms such as weakness, dizziness, shortness of breath or heart palpitations.
One possible cause is iron deficiency anaemia (IDA), a common and treatable condition that can affect pregnant women.
