Im just 8 weeks but i feel like sleeping the whole day, even small kaam makes me exhausted. Is this normal in early days ya should i be worried? feeling thoda low about it.
Oh, your body is literally growing a whole human being, so it's totally normal to feel like a sleepy sloth! 🥱 Just listen to your body and take nice little naps whenever you can. You're doing great, mommy!
The fatigue is mostly due to the massive surge in progesterone hormones and your body producing more blood, which lowers your blood pressure. Try to eat small, frequent meals to keep your blood sugar stable. If the tiredness is paired with extreme weakness, do ask your doctor to check your Hb and thyroid levels.
I used to feel so weak and tired that I kept searching if something was wrong with my baby! But actually, my gynac reassured me that progesterone levels shoot up, which causes this extreme fatigue. Just get your iron levels checked once to rule out anemia, just to be safe.
Honestly, I felt like I had run a marathon daily just by walking from the bed to the sofa! It's completely normal, your body is basically building a 3D model of a human without instructions. Just embrace the couch potato life for a few months!
Look, your body is working 24/7 right now, so feeling exhausted is completely standard, especially in the first and third trimesters. Stop trying to be a superwoman and delegate chores. Eat iron-rich foods, drink water, and sleep when the baby sleeps!
I totally understand how draining this can be, sweetie, there were days I couldn't even lift my head from the pillow. Your body is pouring all its energy into building a beautiful life inside you. Please don't feel guilty about resting, you deserve all the pampering right now.
My doctor told me that during the first trimester, the placenta is forming, which takes a massive amount of metabolic energy. She advised me to keep up with my prenatal vitamins, especially iron, as low hemoglobin can make fatigue much worse. Do get your routine blood work checked.
