Is being exhausted normal during pregnancy?

Question

I am 10 weeks pregnant and i am so exhausted all the time I have never slept so much. I have no energy at all. Is this normal because I'm pregnant? I do exercise and go walking after work but its like I can sleep forever!

Answer 1

I miscarrried at 9 weeks pregnant in January and I could not believe how tired I was i was sleeping all day and still felt extremely drained. Your body is going through alot and although you can't see all the changes you definately have a reason to be tired =) good luck!

Answer 2

depending on your pregnancy yes its like you could hibernate. should get better in second trimester all yor energy should be back until about 30wks i promise it does get better x

Answer 3

Get it while you can, the exhaustion hasn't even begun yet.

Answer 5

i hear you honey i have been the same way for over a month  i'm 11 weeks now and getting a little better but  i was on the couch for weeks and did much of nothing a few weeks ago (it's a good thing i don't work ) hopefully it will get better !

Answer 6

I was like that with my first. Accomplishing even simple tasks was a chore for me. It goes away when you get into the second trimester. I'd say normal. As long as you aren't passing out you should be fine. Be sure to take your vitamins and get plenty of sleep.

Good Luck.

It is totally normal to be very tired while you are pregnant.  Each stage of pregnancy brings different levels of tiredness.  If you enjoy walking after work but are too tired try to walk at other times during the day if you can.  Or try to just go on shorter walks. If you feel like sleeping though then tha is what you should do. Your bodyis working hard and helping your baby grow so it is only natural to be tired.  Good Luck and God Bless!
