Hi all. I’m 6 weeks pregnant and the main symptom I am struggling with is tiredness. I’m ALWAYS tired. No matter what day, how much sleep I seem to get. I work full time and feel like I’m about to fall asleep at my desk. I just feel like I have no energy. Just wondering how anyone else overcame this?

Ask for a blood test at the doctors. Might be your iron levels. I was given iron tablets when i was pregnant 😊

Thank you!

I was like this. Was pretty much the only symptom I had in early pregnancy. Just be kind to yourself. Get lots of sleep overnight (I was sleeping around 10 hours a night). It felt like all I was doing was sleeping and working during the week. Dont push yourself too much outside of work- the house doesn't have to be spotless and say no to socializing if you need to. Just remember its not forever x

Make sure you’re taking your folic acid girl! Maybe ring the doctors and ask them to check and I was the exact same and I didn’t find out until after! I’m really big on taking your folic acid and getting that checked because I had a bad experience by not taking the higher dose (if you want to message me I will explain it properly) but get some rest and try sleep as much as you can (easier said than done) xxx

I definitely am! I have a reminder in my phone every morning and take it religiously 😂 I’m gonna try and get some more sleep over the next few nights and if it doesn’t change I’ll see the doctors. Thank you lovely! Xx
