Im barely 7 weeks and the tiredness is unreal, i could sleep all day if allowed. Never felt this drained before. Is this normal at this stage or am i overworking myself? want to know your experience.
I felt completely drained in my first trimester, like I could sleep all day. Nobody warned me how tired I would be so early. It is the hormones and your body building the placenta, it does ease in the second trimester.
My doctor said early fatigue is mostly from the surge in progesterone and the extra work your body is doing. She did check my iron and thyroid since those can add to it. So it is normal but worth a quick blood check if it is extreme.
The tiredness was real, I struggled to get through office in early weeks. I started napping at lunch and sleeping earlier, that helped me cope. Eat iron rich food too, low iron can make it worse.
