Did anyone else feel completely wiped out by early pregnancy?

I was expecting some nausea and tiredness, but I did not expect my whole day to revolve around trying not to feel sick, having no energy, and feeling exhausted by basic things.

And even when some symptoms ease up, the worry can still stick around. Like if you get a random pain or weird feeling, it is so easy to start wondering if it is normal or if something is wrong.

I feel like morning sickness is often talked about like it is annoying but manageable, but for some people it is way more intense than that.

Was early pregnancy physically harder than you expected too? What part was the worst for you?
