Im in my first trimester and the tiredness is just too much, by evening i have zero energy left even though i didnt do much. Managing house and work both feels impossible some days. Any tips that helped u feel a little better?
Sounds odd but a little gentle walking actually gave me more energy than just lying down all day. My doctor cleared light walks for me. Plus good sleep and water. Dont push hard though, only what your gynac allows.
Rest when your body says rest, dont fight it. Eat regularly, stay hydrated and dont overload yourself. If the fatigue feels extreme or you also feel breathless or dizzy, get your haemoglobin checked, anaemia is common and treatable.
My mother made sure I had proper meals and didnt skip my afternoon rest, that traditional little nap really helps. Also she'd give me dates and a glass of milk. If tiredness is too much do tell your doctor though.
Balancing work with that exhaustion was tough. I started sleeping earlier, drinking enough water and taking a 10 min walk to feel less sluggish. Also got my iron checked coz low iron made it worse, maybe ask your doctor to check yours.
Oh the tiredness is so real, I could sleep standing up in my first trimester. What helped me was short naps, not skipping meals and small protein snacks like a handful of nuts. It does get better in the middle months, hang in there.
