Im so thaki hui all the time, even after sleeping full night i feel like i have no energy. First trimester chal raha hai. How did u all manage this thakaan while still doing ghar ka kaam and office?
I used to cry thinking why am I so exhausted and if I was becoming lazy. But my doctor reassured me that growing a human takes massive energy, and it is completely normal. Just rest without feeling guilty, your energy will return in the second trimester!
Listen to your body and delegate housework to others, you cannot do everything right now. Also, get your iron levels checked. Low hemoglobin is a major cause of pregnancy fatigue, so take your supplements properly.
Beta, eat dry fruits soaked overnight and drink warm milk with a little saffron or cardamom. This gives natural strength to the body during pregnancy. Don't lift heavy things and sleep on your left side to get proper rest.
I was lucky to be at my mum's place, and she literally made sure I did nothing but rest and eat. Having fresh home-cooked meals and taking small walks in the garden really helped my energy levels. Try to get family support so you can rest.
Extreme tiredness can sometimes be due to fluctuating thyroid levels, which happened in my case. Please make sure you are getting your regular blood tests and thyroid checkups done. Don't just ignore it as normal pregnancy fatigue.
Your body is working so hard to protect this precious life, so please do not push yourself. If you feel tired, just lie down and rest immediately. Be very gentle with your body and don't hesitate to check with your doctor if the exhaustion feels too severe.
