I'm a first time young mom - 23-years-old, 11 weeks. Baby was a big surprise for my husband and I, but we are very excited! Anyways. I have been feeling extreme exhaustion. I feel like I have no energy at all. I am to the point where I don't even want to leave the house because that would mean having to put effort into getting dressed & ready. I'm normally a neat freak and can't seem to keep up with my chores. I am starting to worry that there might be something wrong with me. I don't feel sad or depressed, just absolutely exhausted. I cannot get enough sleep! Is this normal? Any tips? Should I see my doctor?
I have felt that way since before I even found out I was pregnant (I am only 6 weeks right now). I go to work, come home and then I usually lay in bed. By 9pm I can barely keep my eyes open! I thought there was something wrong with me too but I've read online that fatigue/exhaustion is very common in the first trimester.
