14 weeks pregnant and absolutely exhausted

I'm sleeping for 12 hours a day and still waking up tired. I'm 14 weeks pregnant. I have never felt exhaustion like this before. Any advice. Thanks

Have you had your booking bloods yet? Are you taking your vitamins? You might need more iron.

It’s totally normal. I do recommend taking spatone though.

Had bloods done like a month ago at 9 weeks, would that have tested my iron levels?. I am taking pregnacare when I remember most nights.

They should have tested your iron levels, yes. Have you been given any results? They check for loads with those tests.

They did not contact me about the results, I assumed that meant all fine?

Normally they'll run through them at your next midwife appointment but generally you're right - they'd contact you with any issues.

Try and eat healthy and drink plenty but be conscious of the fact you are growing a whole human so of course you'll be tired!

Yes it's pretty normal unfortunately. Congratulations op!
