Im only in my 2nd month and already feel like I ran a marathon by evening, bas sona hi sona feels like. Nobody told me it would be this draining. Is this normal for everyone na?
I remember feeling so exhausted I could sleep standing up. It's your body's way of telling you to slow down and conserve energy for the baby. Be gentle on yourself and rest without feeling guilty.
I was extremely tired, and later found out my sugar levels were fluctuating. If the fatigue feels too extreme, please get your gestational diabetes and thyroid checked. Eating small, balanced meals with protein helped stabilize my energy.
Haan yaar, I used to feel tired just by breathing in my first trimester! It's completely normal, your body is doing major work inside. Just listen to your body and sleep guilt-free, okay na?
Beta, your body is creating a life, it is bound to feel tired. Drink some warm almond milk at night and don't skip your afternoon nap. Avoid heavy physical work and let the family help you.
My doctor explained that our body is producing massive amounts of progesterone hormone, plus blood volume increases by 50%, which puts a huge load on the heart. It’s like running a marathon while sitting still, so the exhaustion is purely physical.
Haha, carrying twins felt like I was carrying sacks of potatoes 24/7! Your body is literally working double shift without a break. Sleep whenever you get a chance, the chores can wait!
As a nurse, I always tell moms that your body is building a whole new organ (the placenta) from scratch in the first trimester! That takes immense metabolic energy. Rest as much as you can, keep your iron levels checked, and stay hydrated.
