Honestly im exhausted by afternoon and just want to lie down all the time. Im in first trimester and even small kaam feels like too much. Is this normal level of tiredness ya should I get my levels checked? feeling kinda guilty for not doing anything.
Oh mama, that pregnancy exhaustion is so real. I remember crying just because I was too tired to sit up. Your body is doing a miracle, so please go easy on yourself and sleep without guilt.
I mentioned my extreme fatigue to my doctor during my checkup at the hospital. They checked my thyroid and hemoglobin levels to make sure it wasn't anemia, so do ask your gynac to run those routine tests.
I used to worry if something was wrong because I was sleeping 12 hours a day! But actually your body is working so hard to make the placenta, so please listen to your body and rest.
Between vomiting and nausea, the fatigue can make you feel completely drained. Take small naps whenever you can and make sure you're getting your iron levels checked by your doctor.
