I am 10 weeks and feel sleepy even after full night sleep. Office work is becoming difficult and I feel lazy, then guilty also. How did you handle this tiredness?
Being tired is so real, I was juggling office too. What helped me was short power naps in lunch break, eating small frequent meals so sugar doesnt dip, and sleeping early. Dont push urself like before.
One thing, if the tiredness feels extreme, do get ur iron and thyroid checked. Mine was thyroid related and once medicine started I felt much better. So rule that out with ur doctor.
I felt so drained in my first trimester, like I could sleep all day. Honestly I just gave in and napped whenever I could. It does get better in second trimester, hang in there.
Sounds odd but a short slow walk actually gave me energy when I felt sluggish. My gynac okayed light walking for me. Plus good sleep at night, screens off early helped a lot.
