honestly i could sleep the whole day. im in my first tri and even after 8 hrs at night i feel thoda exhausted by afternoon. is this normal or should i be worried?
Bahut normal hai ye, humare yahan toh kehte hain ki baby badh raha hai isliye neend aati hai. God has given you this time to rest, so do ghar ka kaam slowly and take nice afternoon naps. Khoob saara dhoodh aur achha khana khao.
I kept googling why I was so tired and got so worried that I was being lazy. But actually, progesterone rises so much in the first trimester, which makes us super sleepy. Just make sure you are eating well and resting, but do ask your doc if you feel too weak.
It is totally normal to feel so exhausted, so please don't stress or think something is wrong. I used to feel so guilty for sleeping all day, but your hormones are shifting like crazy. Just listen to your body and rest as much as you need.
Oh god, enjoy this sleep while you can, please! Right now I am surviving on 2 hours of sleep with my newborn and would kill for those pregnancy naps. Your body is busy making a whole human, so just sleep without any guilt, yaaro!
While feeling tired is very common due to hormonal changes, sometimes extreme fatigue can also be due to low iron or thyroid issues. When I had complications, my doctor checked my Hb levels immediately. Definitely mention this extreme sleepiness to your gynac in your next visit.
