Hello,
Causes of excessive sleepiness are sleep-wake cycle disorder like in night shifts, sleep apnea and other sleep-related breathing disorders, psychiatric disorders like depression and schizophrenia,diabetes,obesity,restless leg syndrome,use of drugs or alcohol and narcolepsy(Abnormal sleep disorder leading to excessive daytime drowsiness).
You should consult a sleep specialist and get all these causes ruled out.

How obesity affects your health depends on many things, including your age, gender, where you carry your body fat, and how physically active you are.
Risk for diseases
If you are obese and have unhealthy eating or activity habits, you have a higher risk for gallstones, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and triglycerides, coronary artery disease (CAD), a stroke, and sleep apnea, among other conditions.
That is very normal in the first trimester. I would sleep 12 hours and still feel tired. When your body gets used to the hormones you won't be feeling so tired. Second trimester is the BEST. You'll have energy and feel great.
I've been the same way, I think it's either way. Some women can't get to sleep whereas others can and sleep even more than usual...
fast food, too muich sugar and portions that are waaaayyy too big. I think most people would be surprised to see what an actual serving size looks like Plus, a lot of people live a fairly sedentary life which is unhealthy for lots of reasons. So I believe it's lifestyle and eating habits. People need to wake up and realize that if you take in more calories than you expend you will gain weight. It's really simple.
It can be your iron but then again just get the rest that's how i was during my 1st trimester n now im in my 3rd ...you'll get through it...try eating salted crakers n drink lots of fluids try to stay away from sodas n coffee ..
Just moving burns calories so a simple walk will do it. If walking is too much, some time moving in a pool is very helpful.
In any case, she needs to cut back on her calories to match what she burns in a day. Just being awake burns calories, but if she is gaining weight she needs to find a way to take in less or burn more, its that simple.
She needs to talk to her doctor about what is safe for her.
No sleep is too much sleep. Pretty soon you'll be in my shoes.

m not sure how much breast milk, but he has a drink 3times per day before arvo sleep and night sleep, and also about 100ml of whole milk in a cup a day. The weight and height i gave you were from his 1year old check approx 4months ago, so may be more by now. He eats all family meals and grazes all day.
Hi, welcome to the forum, firstly you need to rule out the cause of sleep apnea. Obesity and upper airway soft tissue abnormalities are known risk factor and smoking multiplies the risk by 3 times. Even alcoholism, nasal congestion, craniofacial abnormalities, hypothyroidism, acromegaly, and adenotonsillar hypertrophy can lead to such symptoms. Hence, the above mentioned conditions should be ruled out by physical examinations, thyroid profile and other blood tests.
