Why am i so exhausted during pregnancy?
I'm only in my first trimester, but the exhaustion is unbelievable. I sleep 9-10 hours, but still feel drained all day. My friends say it's normal, but this feels excessive, na?

Oh, trust me, this is completely normal in pregnancy, especially in the first and third trimesters. Your body is literally building a human! Prioritize rest, don't feel guilty for napping, and ask for help with chores. Also, check your iron levels, sometimes low iron makes it worse.
Ho na, it's very tiring, creating a life inside you! All the hormones and your body working extra hard make you feel drained. Just take it easy, listen to your body and rest whenever you can. Don't push yourself too much, haan.
Girl, you're growing a human! Exhaustion is par for the course. Hormones are going wild, blood volume is increasing, and your body is working overtime. Prioritize rest, delegate tasks, and maintain a healthy diet. It's temporary.
While exhaustion is common, sometimes very gentle, approved exercise like prenatal yoga or short walks can actually boost energy. But the key is 'gentle' and 'approved by doctor'. Ensure your nutrition is good, especially iron, which can contribute to fatigue.
My wife was incredibly exhausted during her pregnancies too, especially in the early months. Her doctor said it was perfectly normal due to all the hormonal changes. So, while I can't give medical advice, I can tell you it's a very common experience. Just try to rest as much as you can.
