Is it normal to not want to do anything during the first trimester?

Mostly.Normal for most people

Yes. Feeling wiped out or uninterested in your usual activities is common in the first trimester, when your body is adjusting to pregnancy and symptoms like nausea can take a lot out of you.

The first trimester can bring a level of fatigue that makes even ordinary plans feel like a big ask. Hormonal changes, nausea, disrupted sleep, and the work your body is doing can all contribute. It’s okay to rest and lower your expectations for a while.

If “not wanting to do anything” also means feeling persistently hopeless, very down, or unable to manage basic daily needs, let your prenatal care provider know. You deserve support, and you don’t have to wait until it feels unbearable to bring it up.
