Does pregnancy make you sleepy?

Question

I'm in my first trimester and feel exhausted all the time, even after a full night's sleep. Is it normal for pregnancy to make you feel so sleepy and tired?

Madhu Prabhu · Answer

I felt like a sleeping beauty in my first trimester, literally slept 10 hours a day! It made me feel so lazy initially, but then I realized my body was working so hard to grow a life.

Yes dear, your body is doing sacred work right now, so it needs all the rest. Sleep peacefully, stay positive, and take care of your health.

Vibha Bhatia · Answer

I am in my 3rd trimester and I can sleep standing up at this point! Progesterone is no joke, just surrender to the bed.

Nidhi Sisodiya · Answer

Oh absolutely, between the heavy vomiting and hormonal changes, I was constantly exhausted. Take short naps whenever you can, it's the only way your body recovers.

Shweta Venkatesh · Answer

Yes, it is completely normal because of the rising progesterone levels. Listen to your body and rest now, because once the baby is here, sleep will become a luxury.
