1st Trimester

Bad naps - anyone else?

I remember when I was pregnant with DS, whenever I would nap in the first tri, I would wake feeling terrible.  Groggy, starving, just a general "heavy" and not refreshed feeling.  Well, I took my first nap like that this afternoon.  I am happy I was able ot take a nap b/c the exhaustion is already setting in, but at the same time, I remember always wondering (with DS) whether it would have just felt better to push through and stay awake rather than nap.  Anyone else feel like this?

Re: Bad naps - anyone else?

  • Lol I felt like that before I was pregnant. Anytime I took a nap I woke up feeling worse. Now I just don't nap as much as it sounds so good.  I just push through and go to bed earlier at night.

  • OMG I have this same problem! When I come home from work I'm exhausted and have to sleep, but then I wake up feeling nauseated and groggy, like my brain is dead. It's so frustrating!

  • Totally.  There was one day where I woke up from a nap feeling awesome.  But most of the time I feel kinda groggy and cranky.  For me, I've found I feel worse if I don't take the nap though.
  • Yes! I crashed yesterday during DD's 2nd nap and when I woke up I felt awful....And I ditto the exhaustion comment.  I am already absolutely exhausted and yawning all the time!! I can't believe it has started this early!
  • I don't think I would be exhausted if i was sleeping through the night, unfortunately I don't do that anymore. I wake up around 4 30 AM and can't get back to sleep for 3 or 4 hours, if I'm lucky. This morning I couldn't get back to sleep at all. So by the time I left the Dr's office at 2 I was ready to drop. Unfortunately we had to go grocery shopping. ugh

  • I feel tired ALL the time, but I don't wake up feeling weird. Hope this feeling for you passes quickly!
  • I feel tired all day everyday, and it doesn't help I am having nightmares. Last night is the first night without them in over a week. I did finally get a good nights sleep last night. But I hate naps. I always feel crappy when I wake up.
