Fatigue in Early Pregnancy

Most women start feeling extremely tired shortly after their first missed period, and their energy levels don't return to normal until well into the second trimester (weeks 14 to 20 on average). Although it's hard to get enough rest when you're working full-time, at least you can try to:

Take a power nap at your desk during your lunch hour or during your morning and afternoon breaks.

Flop out on the couch as soon as you get home from work.

Head to bed earlier than usual so that you can get the 10 hours of sleep per night that is recommended during pregnancy.

Eating as well as possible and getting some form of regular exercise will also help you to ward off fatigue.
