Anyone who’s experienced fatigue can attest to how debilitating it can be. Pregnancy fatigue is no exception. It’s hard to work up the willpower to accomplish the things you need to, like budgeting, preparing your house, and preparing your heart for your coming baby.
If you can relate to this, you're not alone—pregnancy fatigue is normal. But just because it’s normal doesn’t mean it’s welcome.
Sudden, extreme fatigue is one of the earliest indicators of pregnancy. When does fatigue start in pregnancy? Unfortunately, it can start as early as the first week after conception. Extreme tiredness in early pregnancy is most common, but pregnancy fatigue can extend to both the second trimester and third trimester as well.
