Always Tried... only 8 weeks, is this normal?

[Amethyst76]

I have always been a morning person, but since becoming pregnant I have a hard time sleeping, hard time waking, several naps... Just can't seem to get enough sleep. I didn't expect to feel so exhausted this early. Is this normal?

Very normal! 8 weeks with my dd1 was my most extreme exhaustion. I slept 16 hours some days.

Thanks, that is very helpful to hear!

I agree. So, so normal.

I was actually worried in the beginning of this pregnancy because I wasn't as tired as I thought I should be. Sometimes I needed an afternoon nap, but nothing like with my first two girls. I think I could have slept all day with them in the first trimester. It's finally catching up to me, though. In having trouble falling or staying asleep many nights now at 11.5 weeks... and then I feel like sleeping all day. Bleh.
