Fatigue is normal: Feeling exhausted or fatigued is very common in early pregnancy. It is a normal response to pregnancy. It is important to get lots of rest and sleep during pregnancy, because growth hormone is released when you are sleeping, and extra growth hormone is needed for the growing fetus. Pain in your arm is not a common symptom of pregnancy, and is probably not related to pregnancy.
