What causes fatigue in pregnancy?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Progesterone: This hormone starts to go up very quickly in pregnancy and is responsible for many of the symptoms associated with pregnancy. It has a sedative-like effect and is partly responsible for the fatigue most pregnant women experience.
