OvuloomWhat Is It?
Extreme tiredness is one of the most common early pregnancy symptoms. In the first trimester, your body is working overtime — building a placenta, increasing blood volume by 50%, and supporting rapid fetal development. Progesterone levels soar, making you feel sleepy.
Common Causes
Surging progesterone (a natural sedative), increased blood production, developing placenta, emotional stress of early pregnancy, disrupted sleep from frequent urination, and low blood sugar.
⚠️ When to See a Doctor
If fatigue is accompanied by dizziness or fainting, if you can't function in daily life, if fatigue continues into the second trimester without improvement, or if you have shortness of breath at rest.
💡 Tips & Management
Listen to your body — rest when tired. Take short naps (20-30 min). Go to bed earlier. Light exercise (walking) can actually boost energy. Eat iron-rich foods. Stay hydrated. Prenatal vitamins with B12 support energy production.
