If you feel like you need a nap 10 minutes after waking up, you’re not alone. Your body is working HARD right now. During early pregnancy, you’ve got hormones coursing through every inch of you, and these changes, (like heightened progesterone levels) can make you tired, too. Your body is producing more blood to carry nutrients to babe, plus your blood sugar + blood pressure levels are also lower. Not to mention, you might be feeling anxious + ALL types of emo, which can take its toll. Remember, this is a totally normal part of pregnancy and by the second trimester, you should start feeling back to your busy self. If you think your exhaustion levels are bordering on the extreme, check in with your medical provider asap.
