Is it okay to sleep "too much" while pregnant?

Question

I am 13 wks along and all of sudden I'm just tired all the time even if I don't work anymore (I recently quit my job due to hazardous conditions that requires a lot of heavy lifting and bending over.) anyway, I always take a nap that seem like hours. I get tired around 3pm and would wake up around 5 then get my normal sleep at night 10pm-9am. I feel like I'm sleeping too much and I try to be active as possible. Can anyone else relate?

Answer

Enjoy it while you can!! No such thing as too much. 38 weeks here and I can barely get a wink 😩

Answer

You need to sleep all you can now because when baby comes you will not be getting that sleep

Answer

Being tired is normal in your first trimester

Answer

I'm just like you I quit my job for health reasons. I sleep all night wake up in the morning make my husband's lunch for work then I fall back asleep and take a nap till like 12. And I'm still tired the rest of the day. I sleep alot but it's better than not being able to sleep. Lol

Answer

I'm 35.6w and sleep whenever I can get it. lol. 
I told the hubby, if you come home and things are only half done or dinner isn't started its because I got tired and took a nap. Thankfully he understands and says "I know babe it's okay I'll finish, you go rest." ❤️ but they are more frequent naps throughout the day rather than one good sleep at night.

Answer

In my first trimester I was always asleep lol.  But now that I'm further along I only take one nap a day and sleep all night. I'm 24W3D. But some days I get more tired than normal and sleep all day. Enjoy it. It definitely gets harder

Answer

Ohh man with my first pregnancy I was more asleep than awake!! I swear if it wasn't for the contractions I may have slept through his birth hahaha jk!!
But I slept all the time. I couldn't help it. I'd sit down for a minute then the next thing I knew I was waking up some hours later if I got a good nap lol I find it normal.
With this one I'm awake a little more, but that's because I have my LO running around needed me. So when he naps I nap too!

Answer

Your growing a human.  You need rest. Your hormones are changing and it will make you type. If you don't have a reason as to why you can't sleep I say f*** it sleep as much as your body and baby are requesting. ^___^

Answer

I am only 10 weeks and did that today.  I am still semi active but I just get too tired and pass out.  I hate naps and find them difficult, but now they are my only saving grace 😓

Answer

In my first trimester it seemed like I couldn't get enough sleep and had the worst black circles even getting almost 12 hours of sleep per night. I'd wake up for work around 630am, work 8-5 then get home eat and go straight to bed. Some days at work I'd literally have to go to the back room and shut my eyes for 15 minutes because I couldn't keep them open. Second trimester hit and I had this crazy amount of energy and didn't need to sleep that amount anymore! Now I'm 37 weeks and so annoyed that I have pregnancy insomnia. Good luck mama!
