These days i feel sleepy literally all the time, even after a full night's rest i could nap again by noon. Im about 8 weeks. Just want to understand why this is happening, is it normal in early pregnancy?
Mostly its the natural hormonal changes, totally common in early pregnancy. But sometimes things like low iron or thyroid can make tiredness worse, that happened in my case. So if its a lot, just mention it to your doctor to rule those out.
My doctor said its mainly the rising progesterone hormone that makes you so sleepy, especially in the first trimester. Your body is also working overtime building the placenta. So that constant drowsiness is super normal, your body literally needs the rest.
Hormones yaar, mainly progesterone shooting up. Plus your body is using so much energy to grow the baby. I was knocked out by evening in both pregnancies. Rest when you can, dont fight it. Just check iron levels with doc if its extreme.
Girl its so normal, the hormones basically put you in sleep mode. Dont stress or feel lazy about it, your body is doing a huge job. Nap whenever you get the chance. If its crazy extreme though, a quick blood test for iron wont hurt.
Its the hormones and your body working hard. Managing office with that sleepiness was tough for me honestly. Short power naps, staying hydrated and eating small frequent meals helped. If youre feeling unusually exhausted, get your hemoglobin checked, low iron adds to it.
