Exhausted all the time, but can't seem to sleep past 6am!

So I am about 6 weeks pregnant and this is my first pregnancy. I have been feeling super tired all the time over the last few weeks and this is really out of the norm for me. Despite how tired I feel, my body wakes me up at around 6am - 7am every morning without fail and I cannot for the life of me get back to sleep! Again, this is very unlike me, I love a good lie in 🤣 Any advice on dealing with the fatigue? I am usually a big coffee drinker so I think the drop in caffeine intake may have something to do with it 🥱🥱

I am also a massive sleeper and this was happening to me during the 1st trimester and to be honest I just listened to my body, I got up when I was awake and would have naps during the day when I was off work, and when I finished work I would have a small nap when I got home and just generally rested

It will pass as now I do sleep in my 2nd trimester (apart from needing a wee) hang in there!

I so relate to this! I’m 10+ weeks and since the start I’m waking at silly times then I just can’t get back to sleep the same, considering it prep for the baby😂😂😂

What age was your baby when you first left them overnight?

(Don’t judge I feel like this is giving bad mum enough🫣😂)

It’s my partner’s mums birthday coming up and my baby is seven weeks old I feel on edge leaving him as it is and all I read is people not being able to leave there baby till they’re over 2 months, is it bad if I do go for the night and leave him with a family member ? And is it bad that I’m even considering going 🥲🥲

Hospital bag

Finally it's due date month!

How much is everyone packing for the hospital? I've got a cabin sized suitcase and a changing bag full and still got some bits left to pack. Am I over doing it? FTM here so no idea what I will actually use but I also want to take things I might want to use even if I don't end up using them.

Also is anyone packing 0-3 clothing? I'm measuring in the 90 percentile but my midwife has told me that does mean I'll have a big baby. Again unsure and how many and what time outfits to pack. I love gone with just a newborn swaddle hoping that we will manage with that as my 0-3 swaddles are 2.5 tog
Thanks

Kayla, are you alive girl?

I realized Kayla was such a popular name when I was growing up there would be like 3 Kayla's in one class. Sadly I have not run into any Kayla's as an adult. Where y'all at?

20w Anatomy Scan

I had my 20w anatomy scan on Friday and although they said everything looked well, I was told that baby girl is measuring on the lower centile and they booked us in for another growth scan in about 2 weeks which has got me worried as a first time mum. I was wondering if this happened to anyone else and everything turned out okay?
