I cannot remember if this symptom generally precedes the nausea (for me 6 weeks) or shows up around the same time.

What can I do next?

Around week 6 or 7 extreme sleepiness set in...also, nausea, vomiting, constipation and the all other stuff! It's well worth it in the end. Congratulations!

With my first (very miserable) pregnancy I was tired from day 1 and until he was nearly one year old. With my second pregnancy I wasn't never really tired.............. until she was born. lol

About 2 weeks in... in fact my husband suspected I was pregnant before I did because I just couldn't keep my eyes open after 8:00pm. When I took the test, his exact response was "I know. You've been in bed before 9 every night for the last week!" Mine lasted through the first trimester and then came back the last 2 or 3 weeks before delivery.

Before I even knew I was pregnant. But I also have hypothyroidism, so my thyroid levels change with pregnancy, which can increase sleepiness.

about 3 weeks. I couldn't keep my eyes open!! I never had nausea, thank GOD, but the tiredness has always been almost instant.

i never had morning sickness but seems like i started being EXHAUSTED all the time right around the same time i found out - but it might have been emotional exhaustion too. somewhere around 3-4 weeks....don't forget each woman and each pregnancy is different so just because that's how it was doesn't mean that's how it will be....

I've always been a champion sleeper, so it's hard to say. I've never had the typical "symptoms" with my first nor with this one. I'll tell you what though, I could sleep a solid 20 hours if my nearly 6 year old would let me!

Immediately for me, and then the nausea hits. My first sign is usually a headache.

With my first pregnancy they came on at the same time. I was falling asleep by 8 every night and often wanted to take a nap. I was also only able to snack. I couldn't sit down for a full meal. This all came about 7 weeks pregnant. It was the start of both of the symptoms at the same time that triggered the "I think I'm pregnant" mind.

6 weeks for me. (The same for the extreme nausea. Actually, sickness. I had to take medication to drink water!) I didn't sleep my entire pregnancy. My doctor made me take Tylenol PM the last month of my pregnancy, because she was afraid I'd have nothing left in the take for my c-section.
