Is feeling tired all the time a pregnancy sign?

by Arianna

For the past couple weeks I have been feeling a little off. I have been getting super dizzy when I stand up, feeling nausea off and on all day, haven't been wanting to eat all the foods I normally do, having cramps off and on and some stomach discomfort. My breasts have been somewhat tender but not a lot. Now the past couple of days I have felt really bloated. I have also been really tired lately but have been sleeping fine so there really isn't any reason why I should be so tired during the day. With all of theses symptoms it made me wonder if there was more a probability that i really am pregnant more than not?

It depends

If you are feeling tired all the time, you may wonder if it is a sign of pregnancy. If you have other symptoms of pregnancy, such as tender breasts or a missed period, the chances are very good that you are pregnant and you should definitely take a pregnancy test.

However, it can be a sign that there are other things going on medically that you need to have checked out.

It could just be a result of hormonal changes going on inside your body. As the baby begins to grow, your body is putting out many different hormones.

This can lead to sleeplessness and this, in turn, can lead to fatigue during the day. This is something that should get better in time but if it persists, you may want to get a doctor to check you over.

Other causes could be dehydration or anemia.

Whether you are pregnant or not, if your iron levels drop too low, you will begin to feel tired and worn down.

As with dehydration, if you are unaware of the problem and do nothing to fix the situation, it will only get worse.

If your tiredness and fatigue is being caused by pregnancy, it should begin to ease in the second trimester (months 4-6).

By then many of the demands the baby is placing on your body will have lessened slightly and you should begin feeling like your old self again.
Those could all be symptoms

Being tired all the time can be caused by many different things, such as dehydration, etc. But with all of those symptoms it seems like you may want to do a pregnancy test.
