Do we feel sleepy during pregnancy?

Question

Im in my 7th week and honestly i cant keep my eyes open the whole day. Even after full night sleep i feel like napping at 11am which is so unlike me. Is this a pregnancy thing or something else, anyone else felt this?

Sleepy is an understatement yaar, in my first trimester I could sleep standing in a queue. It was like my body just switched off by 8pm. Totally normal so dont feel guilty about napping.

My amma always said rest as much as the body asks in early months. I followed that but also kept my doctor visits regular just to be safe.

Same here, the sleepiness is so real in early days.

Totally normal. I used to take small 15 min rests at work and that helped me get through the day. Just keep yourself hydrated and dont skip meals.

I felt so tired in the early weeks and kept thinking something is wrong with me. Turned out it was just the pregnancy. The tiredness eased a lot in my second trimester.
