Yes it's normal! I used to have naps at work when I was pregnant with my son. It should start easing after 12 weeks its just you're body growing your placenta that's going to support your little one. Congratulations!

It's because you're making all that extra blood - you have to increase your blood volume by 50%! I remember just sitting at my desk from 8-10 weeks and crying because I was so unrelentingly tired!

If you are taking supplemental progesterone, that can make you even more tired than the typical tiredness felt in pregnancy. Just an fyi, in case you are taking it.
