Waves of sleepiness?

I am 5 weeks and 5 days today. 3 days ago I started to yawn after lunchtime and it happened again the day after. I have been sleeping well and taking naps after lunchtime. Still, I am still yawning even I took an 1 hour nap 8 hours ago. It is like no matter how long I sleep, I get waves of sleepiness. Also I felt nausea for the first time and I tried to vomit a few times but nothing came out.

Have they become my "new" normality now? Isn't it a bit early for the pregnancy symptoms to kick in?

No it’s normal. I was shattered first trimester. 14 weeks now, starting to come back to life slowly.

Totally normal!

The first trimester is so tiring!

Your body is working 100mph basically.

As pp, second trimester you start to feel better and have more energy.
I went back to being knackered around 35 weeks.

Congrats!

Yep. Tiredness. Stick it out, nap when you can, eat well and plenty of it and get early nights.
