I Feel Sleepy Alot

It doesn't matter how much sleep I get I wake up and it's just like I haven't been to sleep at all. This is after a good 8 + hours of sleep. This was before I got pregnant, just seems to be more evident now that I am. I have had bags under my eyes constantly. I don't know what's going on. I was anemic some months back, but even then I wasn't feeling this tired.

pregnancy has a profound effect on your body. speak to your OB about it though, just to be sure there isn't anything that needs to be done. Are you documenting your pregnancy as it progresses? You should take sequential photos to look back on.

@samueltyler2 This was an ongoing problem before I conceived is the thing so I don't think it's only because I am pregnant. As far as documenting..not yet. I mean I am just taking things as I go. Once I go to the doctor again and get a due date and stuff then I will start documenting.

@butterfly1013 be sure you mention your extreme tiredness, regardless of how long it has been, since it seems to be worse now, the physician should know. As to the documentation, some of the best photos I ever took of my wife was during her last pregnancy. I have many showing her developing body. You will want them to look back on, maybe even show your grandkids some day.

@samueltyler2 I did this when I was pregnant with my first child. Took a picture once a month. Very cool to see it all unfold.

@newgirl that wasn't in the era of "pregnancy photos" done by professionals, or when it was not the norm to shoot nudes. I hope I am not offending you by asking if the shots you took revealed your body nude? I was doing my own darkroom work, so my wife did pose nude for my pregnancy photos. We occasionally still look at them.
