I'm 6 weeks and exhausted all the time. Falling asleep at the drop of a hat.

I am also 7 weeks and all i want to do is sleep too! This is our third and I was never this tired with the other two. But this one, I am having a lot of fatigue and my bra has already gone up a cup size. My husband thinks it's twins. But I think I'm just 6 years older than my last pregnancy and feeling it more :/
We will see! Also, try to eat protein at every meal, it helps a little!

You will gain it back.  Usually I'm extremely tired in the first then in the second I begin to get energy back but then on the third I get very tired again! Your body is working very hard growing the precious peanut (:

Totally normal I know in the beginning of mine if fall asleep sitting straight up my husband would tease me so bad but all I wanted to do was sleep. ...I'm 39+2 now and I did get my energy back towards themiddle but now I'm right back to wanting to sleep all the time since I can never get comfortable and actually get a good nights rest lol I figure all that sleep at the beginning was to prepare you for lack there of in the future haha

It's normal. During the first 3 months of pregnancy it's normal to feel sleepy and tired at all times.  It will get better soon!
