Since last week I just cant keep my eyes open, sleeping like 10-11 hrs and still feeling tired. Period is also slightly late. Could this be an early sign or am I just reading too much into it?
Oh absolutely, fatigue is one of the first signs of pregnancy. Your body is basically running a marathon inside. Don't fight it—if you feel like sleeping, just sleep and let your body do its job.
When I was constantly sleeping during my first trimester, I asked my doctor at the hospital if it was normal. They reassured me it's totally standard due to hormonal changes, but advised me to track my iron levels too. Feel free to ask your hospital coordinator for a quick reassurance call.
Yes, it definitely is. My doctor explained that during the first trimester, progesterone rises sharply and your body produces more blood, which takes a lot of energy. This naturally causes fatigue and oversleeping, so it's a very common early sign.
Oh my god, yes! I am in my first trimester right now and I feel like a sleepy bear, I can literally sleep 10-12 hours easily. Are you also feeling this tired, or is it just me? It's so comforting to know others feel the same!
My saas always says that the body is working so hard to make a baby, so sleeping a lot is natural. In early pregnancy, progesterone levels shoot up, making you feel completely exhausted. Just listen to your body and rest as much as you need.
Extreme sleepiness is very common in early pregnancy, but please also get your thyroid levels checked. I was oversleeping constantly and my doctor found out it was due to gestational thyroid. Regular follow-ups and a simple blood test will keep you safe.
