Fatigue and exhaustion are one of the earliest signs of pregnancy. It's normal to feel wiped-out in the first 3 months of your pregnancy. Don't worry - as you go into the second trimester, expect to get a little of your energy back.
Help With Nausea And Morning Sickness
It is not known what exactly causes some pregnant women to have nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, but it is thought to be related to elevated hormone levels.
To help with morning sickness, try some of these suggestions:
- Eat something small, such as a saltine cracker just after you wake up, and before you get out of bed
- Eat small, but frequent meals throughout the day. Stay away from heavy meals.

How Long Should I Wait Before I Take A Pregnancy Test?
Although it is recommended that you wait until after you miss your first period, you can sometimes find out a bit earlier. You could try taking a test as early as 14 days after conception, but keep in mind that if you get a negative result, it does not definitively mean that you aren't pregnant. Wait a few days and try again.
