6 weeks pregnant... is it normal to need to sleep 70% of the day?

Question

I have 2 boys ages 8 and 6, I really don’t remember being this exhausted! I could lit fall asleep where ever I sit! I have been this way for about 3 weeks! It’s exhausting

Answer

This is my first, so I don’t know what’s normal... but I am tired ALL THE TIME. I can rally at work when I have to, but once I get home and on the weekends I am useless. I slept most of yesterday and am laying down watching Netflix now. I don’t know how you do it with kiddos at home. Good luck!

Answer

yes, but you could be anemic! I pressed my doctor for bloodwork bc the exhaustion was too much. he told me that pregnancy makes you tired. well, no kidding doc, but this was above and beyond. guess what, I was/am anemic.

Answer

Fatigue is normal. I’ve been alright but I wake up feeling “heavy” it’s weird. Like I feel like I’m under a pile of bricks and it’s hard for me to wake up lol. It goes away for me though. I don’t think your level of exhaustion is concerning though. Third pregnancy, 2 kids, that’s just a lot and sounds normal to be that tired.
