Is fatigue a sign of pregnancy?

Question

I've been feeling extremely tired and exhausted lately, even after getting enough sleep. Could this constant fatigue be a sign of early pregnancy?

Saraswati Apte · Answer

I have been feeling extremely tired lately too, and I am hoping it's a good sign. Maybe wait for a few days and take a home test to confirm.

Malini Sheth · Answer

It is one of the most common early signs because of the sudden rise in progesterone levels. Just listen to your body, take plenty of rest, and don't push yourself.

I felt like a zombie during my first trimester, I could literally sleep anywhere. I didn't realize it was pregnancy until I missed my period and tested positive.

Yes, absolutely! I used to sleep like 12 hours and still feel exhausted. Don't stress too much, your body is working hard to grow a tiny human!

Oh, just wait, this is just trailer fatigue! The real, endless sleeplessness starts after the baby is born, so enjoy your sleep right now.

Fatigue is very real in the early days. I remember feeling so exhausted even before my bump started showing, so just rest as much as you can.
