How many days of pregnancy do you usually start to feel sleepy?

Many pregnant women find that during pregnancy, due to changes in the body's male hormones, they experience early pregnancy reactions such as nausea, vomiting, and constant sleepiness. In fact, these are all normal and pregnant mothers don’t need to worry too much. But some pregnant mothers may ask, how long does it take during pregnancy to start wanting to sleep all the time? Is there any way to alleviate this symptom of always wanting to sleep without affecting normal work?

How long did it take for me to feel sleepy when I started to get pregnant?

After a woman becomes pregnant, the level of human chorionic gonadotropin and testosterone in her body increases, causing her body movements to become slower and slower, making her feel "always sleepy." In addition, the body's basic metabolism increases during pregnancy, the body consumes heat quickly, and low blood sugar levels are also causes of drowsiness and fatigue. In addition, the anxiety and hope during pregnancy preparation and pregnancy can also make the body feel tired.

It is normal to always want to sleep when you are pregnant. One of the symptoms of pregnancy is always wanting to sleep, and the body of pregnant women is more prone to fatigue. It varies from person to person. Generally, during the 4th to 6th week of pregnancy, some pregnant women will experience early pregnancy reactions, such as dizziness, weakness in the limbs, drowsiness, poor appetite, preference for sour foods, aversion to greasy foods, nausea, vomiting, etc., but everyone's health condition will be different. This is related to one's own growth hormone. Some people's early pregnancy reaction lasts longer and does not disappear until 16-18 weeks. But generally it disappears naturally after three months. The feeling of always wanting to sleep usually occurs 6 weeks after menstruation stops and usually lasts until the 3rd month of pregnancy.

Ways to reduce the sleepiness of pregnant women

1. If you want to completely improve the problem of pregnant women always wanting to sleep, you must first start with the usual schedule. You must develop a good and regular schedule, strive to go to bed on time before 22:00 every night, and wake up around 6 o'clock in the morning. This effective schedule will greatly improve and alleviate the problem of pregnant women always wanting to sleep.

2. Start with the natural environment in the bedroom. Maybe it's because the light in the bedroom is too warm, so you feel drowsy when you come in. In addition to the light, the temperature in the bedroom is another important reason why pregnant women are lazy and always want to sleep. It is best to choose air conditioning instead of the air conditioner, which will affect the child's immune system in the future.

3. Because pregnant women are in a special group, they may feel out of touch with the group. Therefore, family members must take time to accompany them, take a walk or do some exercise together. Doing some effective exercise within a certain range can help the growth and development of the fetus and the immune system of pregnant women.
