I'm just a few weeks pregnant and I feel so sleepy all the time, even after a full night's rest. Is it common to feel this much fatigue in early pregnancy?
I felt so incredibly tired during my first few weeks, I could literally sleep anywhere! I used to feel guilty for being lazy, but then I realized my body was working so hard to grow a tiny life. Don't fight it, just rest as much as you can.
My pregnancy tracker app showed that progesterone levels shoot up like crazy in the first trimester, which acts like a natural sedative! Your body is also busy making the placenta, which drains your energy. Totally normal, so sleep whenever you can!
It is completely normal to feel very sleepy right now, dear. Your body is doing a lot of hard work inside. Listen to your body and take as many naps as you need.
Your body is dedicating all its energy to nurture a new soul, which is why you feel so sleepy. It's a natural phase, so stay positive and rest well. God has made our bodies beautifully, just take care of yourself.
I have heard that rising hormones, especially progesterone, can make you feel super exhausted and sleepy early on. It's your body's way of building a safe home for the baby. Take lots of rest and take care!
