Im barely 9 weeks and already feeling so exhausted all day, like even small tasks tire me out. I sleep okay at night still feel drained. Is this normal at this stage or should i get my hemoglobin checked? feeling a bit low about it.
I felt so drained in my first trimester, even small tasks left me exhausted. I learnt it is the hormones and the body working hard to grow the baby. Once I started resting without guilt it felt a bit easier.
My doctor said tiredness is very common but also asked me to check my hemoglobin since low iron makes it worse. Mine was a little low so she started iron. If you feel extremely weak, do get your blood checked.
Honestly between work and pregnancy I was wiped out. I started taking short power naps and going to bed early, and cut down some chores. Dont push yourself to do everything, ask for help na.
Beta your body is doing huge work right now, tiredness is natural. Eat well, sleep enough and dont feel bad about slowing down. If it feels too extreme, get your iron and thyroid checked just to be safe.
