I literally feel like sleeping the whole day, even after a full night sleep im exhausted. People keep saying its normal fatigue but i dont fully get what that means. Just want to understand whats happening to my body.
Oh the tiredness was real, I felt like I could sleep standing up. Even small tasks left me drained in the early weeks. My doctor said its the hormones working hard, totally normal.
Managing office with that exhaustion was tough honestly. I started taking short rest breaks and sleeping earlier. Iron rich food and proper meals helped me push through the day.
I was so so tired in the first months I thought something was wrong. Did everyone feel this knocked out? It got better for me in the second trimester thankfully.
Fatigue is just your body putting all its energy into the baby, its very normal early on. Dont fight it, rest whenever you can. It usually eases in the middle months.
