Your body is growing a human! If you're tired just go with it 🙂

Totally normal ! It was the same for me and tbh it's still difficult for me to be up after 8pm , even at 24+3 😄 growing a tiny hooooman is a tiring job!

I did through my entire first trimester!

Glad is not just me.I flopped on the sofa with a phone in my hand.

100% normal. The falling asleep was how I knew I was pregnant both times! Couldn't keep my eyes open past 6pm.

Both pregnancies during the first trimester. Fell asleep early, 7pm, 8pm.

it’s worth checking your iron levels too, first time I was almost anaemic and the gp gave me a supplement that helped a lot, what I was taking in the multivitamin wasn’t enough. Second time, low iron but didn’t need supplements. Just took my regular multivitamin.

both times it got back to normal for the 2nd trimester.

I'm 6 weeks on Sunday too! And also extremely tired 😅 The last two days I've had a nap when I've got in from work lol. My lower back is so painful too which doesn't help!
