Naps

in July 2015 Moms
I don't have a lot of experience with pregnant women. This will be my first. My only exposure to pregnant ladies was when I was a referee at the volleyball club and there would be random pregnant women playing on intramural teams. Maybe this gave me a false idea of how much energy you have during pregnancy? I do not feel like I could play in a volleyball game, and haven't felt like I could this entire pregnancy. It takes everything out of me to go on a weekly walk. Does anyone else feel like they could just sleep away the pregnancy??

    Yes haha I sleep in...take a nap and still fall asleep at around 930-10. I want to sleep ALL the time. Since first trimester I have been tired and exhausted and now that it is third trimester...WOW, I just want to go under the blankets and dream haha I'm a first time mom and everyone says to sleep now because when the baby comes you won't sleep any, so I'm just embracing it and sleeping and resting when I can :P haha

    I work from home, so I get to set my own schedule, and this is my first baby. Naps are definitely a daily occurrence for me.

    I'm the opposite I feel best while pregnant and I feel like I can do it all and many times get yelled at for doing too much. I rarely take naps anymore.

    I rarely take naps because I work full time but I feel like I could nap multiple times a day!! I was good and energetic in 2nd tri but am so exhausted lately, being anemic doesn't help with the tiredness! But this is my last week of work until maternity leave for a month before baby so I can not wait for naps everyday!!

    Got back from a Texas at 3 in the morning. Now I'm up and getting ready for the day, but the exhaustion from a crazy stressful weekend is kicking my butt.

    I think it has a lot to do with how physically exerting your daily life is. I stand, talk and flap my arms around for 10 hours a day as a hair stylist. My work days, my energy is great. Now ask me to sit for more than 15 minutes. My ass is killing me and I am almost asleep. I can't imagine working a desk job. I would never make it through the day. I say nap when you feel the need. Your body won't tell you you want it unless it will serve a purpose.

    Am sooo tired!
    Am not sleeping great at night. Days when I'm not working I grab a nap when I put my son down at lunchtime, although this makes my night sleep even worse!
    Oh well, my body will be ready for this baby and its 2 hour feeds! Xx

    what is sleep..
    i dont sleep at night anymore, im constantly up and down in the middle of the night,
    or i wake up at 4am.
    i sleep better during the day around 1 or 2.
    and this doesnt help my sleeping routine at night.

    I know exactly what you mean jessygirl1988!!!
    I look over at hubs during the night and I feel so envious! Sleep just doesn't happen, between the heartburn, having to pee, and rolling over in bed trying to be comfortable!
    I pretty much only get short naps here and there.

    When I go to sleep at night I'm up with in the next hour to pee and every hour after...and it must wake him up every time I go cause he starts moving around, AGGRESSIVELY.
