I am feeling unusually sleepy in the afternoon, like I can sleep sitting at work. Period is due soon and this is not normal for me. Was sleepiness an early sign for you?
Oh my god yes for me. In the first trimester I felt like I could sleep standing up. I would nap at 11am, sleep again by 8pm. It was the progesterone, my doc said. I felt so guilty for being lazy but it was totally hormonal.
For me the tiredness in first weeks was no joke, managing office was tough. My practical tip, dont fight it, sleep when u can and keep some nuts handy for energy. But ya it can also just be overwork, so dont read it as a sure sign.
Very common, that early exhaustion is real. But sleepiness alone doesnt confirm anything, could be stress or low iron also. If ur tired AND period is late, test. And do get ur hemoglobin checked, tiredness in pregnancy can be anemia too.
Girl in my early weeks I treated my bed like a full time job lol. Sleepiness was my first hint before even the test. Totally normal, the tiredness is wild in trimester one.
