Im 6 weeks and i swear i could sleep the whole day, so much thakaan all the time. Even after 9 hrs sleep i feel like lying down again. Is this a normal pregnancy thing? anyone else felt this?
I am in my 20th week now and I still feel like sleeping all day long. My family says the fatigue should have gone by now, so I'm getting a bit anxious if everything is okay. Did anyone else feel this sleepy even in their second trimester?
Of course you will feel sleepy, your hormones are going crazy right now. Don't fight it or feel guilty about being "lazy." Just finish your basic chores, eat your meals on time, and go to bed early.
Extreme fatigue is very common, but I mentioned it to my obstetrician during my routine check-up at the hospital. They checked my iron and thyroid levels just to be sure there was no underlying deficiency. It's always best to bring it up with your medical team during your visits.
Oh, I completely feel you, the exhaustion combined with constant vomiting is just brutal. Your body is losing so much energy, so feeling sleepy is very natural. Try to sip on some cold lemon water or ginger tea, and sleep whenever your body asks for it.
Sleepy? I felt like a professional sleeping beauty in my first trimester, haha! I could literally sleep while standing in a crowded bus. It's totally normal, your body is working overtime to build a human, so enjoy the guilt-free naps!
I know how overwhelming this constant tiredness can be, especially when you feel like you aren't being productive enough. Please don't stress, it is a very real physical symptom and not just in your head. Give yourself permission to rest without feeling guilty, dear.
