    Extra tired.
    How early have pregnant women been known to get extra weary when they're pregnant? LIke is it possible to feel extra tired at a month or less?

    Sure, your body is now giving part of your nutrients to the fetus... get on prenatal vitamins asap... also try to eat healthy. Cut out sugar, and soda's. And get plenty of rest, also when your baby is born. Good luck

    I felt like I had zero energy soon after I found out I was pregnant. It got to the point where I would almost fall asleep at work. Then when I got home at 5, I would eat (if my tummy would allow) or just fall asleep for the night. That went away around... 4 months. I am now 8 months along, and am so tired that I could fall asleep standing up. My little guy likes to stretch out my skin when I'm trying to fall asleep. But, he really loves to give my a swift kick to the bladder right as I'm about to head to dream land. So, I'm sorry to say, this is just the beginning. Wait until your newborn is here... you will be able to fall asleep in mid sentence.

    When I found out I was pregnant. I was so tierd. I fell asleep while working and had to take many naps. One day you will wake up and feel refreshed. Trust me.

    Myth
    I was extremely exhausted starting around two weeks and for my entire pregnancy... I think it happened to me so early because of the twins...

    Wow... yeah, I think that if I am pregnant, I'm probably around 3 weeks along, but I've been getting the same amount of sleep, but I've felt extreme fatigue lately, more than usual. It's weird.. plus, in my previous question I stated that I've had the strange cramping, like I'm going to start my period, but unlike usual, I haven't. I'm only due to start on Thursday, but I've always either gotten cramps during midcycle (which surprsisingly I didn't this time) or on the first day, so bad that I can't even sleep un less ihave a heat pad around my belly.
    I'm probably going to take a test if I haven't started by this weekend... I'm a little excited, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up!

    The fatigue and headaches was what made me test to see if I was pregnant. I found out at slightly over 3 weeks along, and now Im nearly 10 weeks along and still as tired... lol.

    Fatigue in early pregnancy is VERY normal. Your body is having to work in over time to make your baby. The first trimester (esp the first few weeks of developement) and where most of the development of baby takes place, and therefore its extra hard work for your body. The last trimester is mainly putting weight on the baby, and the finishing touches(getting the lungs to mature enough to be able to breath efficiently on their own, etc) and the second trimester is a mixture of both trimesters. So it could be a sign of pregnancy for you, or it could just be something else. Unfortunately its still too early to tell. Good luck hun

    I was struggling with extreme fatigue before I had any other symptoms. It only lasted for about a month.
