Yes, extreme fatigue and weakness is very common in early weeks. Take plenty of rest.

Oh, I panicked so much thinking something was wrong with me, but it's totally normal! Your body is working double-time to build the placenta, so the fatigue is very real.

Devi Parmar · Answer

It is absolutely normal, dear. Just rest as much as you can right now and don't push yourself to do heavy work.

My mom told me to eat soaked almonds and dates for strength. The weakness is very common in the first trimester because of hormonal changes.

It's a big symptom. Plan your day so you can take short power naps during lunch breaks, and don't hesitate to delegate tasks at home.
