fatigue during shower

Everytime i take a shower i get really fatigued and lose all my energy really quickly and end up having to sit down to take my shower. Has anyone else experienced this and is it normal?? I'm 8 weeks and 4 days.

Make sure you drink plenty of water and don't skip meal. No super hot shower either. And maybe get one of those shower chair so you can sit down when you feel weak.

Drink water before you go in. Keep the br ventilated and make sure the waters not piping hot

Drink a tall glass of water before you shower, it might help. I have to every time. Doc suggested it with my first pregnancy

I'm the same way. I have to leave the shower curtain almost all the way open and the bathroom door open with the fan on just so I can breath. Lol

i did. the whole first half of my pregnancy i dreaded taking a shower because it made me sooooo tired. but now i love showering because it makes me feel better :) im 29+4. i still get a little tired if i have to take a really long shower like to shave and everything, but that also includes my after shower, belly lotion and hair and everything, routine. It'll go away soon :)
