Very Early Symptoms of Pregnancy
2. Fatigue
Fatigue or tiredness is extremely common in pregnancy. Women who are pregnant often feel exhausted or tired, especially in the first few weeks of pregnancy as the hormonal changes in the body causes the woman to feel emotional, nauseous, and tired.
Those who feel fatigued should try to rest as much as possible as it can be challenging to cope with pregnancy, especially for first-time mothers. Fatigue can be attributed to the hormone progesterone, which functions to help maintain the pregnancy and encourage the development of the breasts. Be more open to accepting help from family and friends and recognize your own limits. Rest in early pregnancy is important as it can become difficult to get restful sleep once the baby gets bigger. Fatigue is noticeable as early as 1 week after conception.
