Pregnancy

Is this normal??

I'm 4w 3D and I cannot stop sleeping. I had a 3 hour nap yesterday, slept for 15 hours last night followed by another 3 hour nap today and I'm still exhausted!
Is it normal for the symptoms to be so pronounced so early?
I'm having an early scan next week as my previous pregnancy was an ectopic, so making sure this one is in the right place - I'm thinking the tiredness is a good sign my hcg is rising fast?
Any advice?

Very normal. The exhaustion of those early weeks of pregnancy is like nothing else. At six weeks pregnant I got out of the shower with a towel on my head and one wrapped round my body, sat down on the bed, woke up THREE HOURS LATER! Luckily I didn't have to be in work that day.

Thank you @Ahundredpercentthatbitch
That made me laugh out loud! I'm sure I'll probably have some of those in the coming weeks. I felt so drained after I showered this morning, think I half dried my hair because I just didn't have the energy!

Very normal.

When I was pregnant with dc1 my work shift finished at 3.30. I'd be home for 4pm and straight into bed. I'd sleep soundly til dh got home at 5.30, get up, cook and eat dinner together, then back to sleep for 8.30 and a full nights sleep.

Completely normal! No matter how much you sleep, the exhaustion never goes away!
