I'm in my fifth week of pregnancy and I find myself sleeping a lot more than usual. Is it normal to feel such extreme tiredness and sleep more during the 5th week of pregnancy? I'm constantly exhausted.
It's totally normal, but as a working mom, I know it's hard to find time. Try to sleep early, cut down on screen time, and take short 15-minute power naps during your lunch break to manage the day.
Oh sweetie, don't feel guilty at all for sleeping so much. Your body is literally growing a tiny human from scratch, which is a massive job! Hugs to you, please sleep and pamper yourself.
Absolutely, sleep as much as your body demands. In the first trimester, progesterone levels shoot up which makes you super tired. Don't fight it, just take quick naps whenever possible.
As a mom of twins, I say sleep double the amount if you can! 😂 Your body is going through a massive hormonal surge right now. Sleep is the best therapy, so don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
I can't say if it's medically normal for everyone, but in my 5th week, I used to sleep for almost 12 hours a day and felt so lazy. Personally, listening to my body and resting was the only thing that worked for me.
I am in my first trimester too and I feel like a sleeping beauty, literally sleeping 10 hours a day! Do you also feel a bit guilty about sleeping so much, or is it just me?
Oh yes, sleeping a lot in the 5th week is totally normal. I remember feeling so exhausted even before my C-section, your body is working so hard to build the placenta. Just rest as much as you can right now.
I was incredibly sleepy in my 5th week, and then the morning sickness hit me badly a week later. Sleeping actually helped me escape the constant nausea. Please sleep without guilt, your body really needs it!
I am newly married and trying to conceive, but from what my pregnant friends say, extreme fatigue in early weeks is very common. It must be so hard, please take good care of your health and rest well.
Girl, sleep now while you still can! I am in my 3rd trimester and between the constant kicking and pee breaks, sleep is just a distant dream. Enjoy this phase, your couch is your best friend now!
