Sleeping too much?

Question

I am 12 weeks and i understand that sleep in the first trimester is important and you can feel exhausted alot. Yet i need to know if i am sleeping way too much. I sleep around 10pm to 6am once i get breakfast done for my fiance. Then from 730 till 12pm i fall back asleep. Sometimes i wake up early yet theres days where i cannot for the life of me get out of bed. Am i sleeping excessively? Is it affecting my nutrition? Any advice please! Thanks in advance ❤

Answer

Girl get your sleep while you can. I have a 1 year old and am 10 weeks pregnant. My son isn’t sleeping through the night still. I’d kill for sleep right now!!

Answer

I was unbelievably exhausted my first trimester I was the same way. Honestly I just slept whenever I could because I could not get rid of the extreme fatigue no matter what I did. It did lighten up a bit in the second trimester though. And of course now that my baby is here it's back to no sleep! Get it while you can! Try not to worry too much your body knows what it needs :)

Answer

I’m 27 weeks pregnant now, but during my first trimester I would sleep so so so much. I’d go to sleep at like 9pm, wake up at like 12, then sleep until like 5 pm when my husband got home, we would go to the park or something, and go to sleep again.

Answer

10 weeks here. 
I slept from 11pm to 9am. Ran to town for my chiro appointment & errands. Came home, laid down on the couch around 11:30. Husband brought me pizza, and then I was out from around 1 to 6. (My dr does have me on medication for nausea that puts me to sleep). Got up, fixed dinner, cleaned up, enjoyed a quiet evening while my husband sorted through our tax info, was out again from midnight until 9. Soooo, I'd say I'm sleeping far more excessively than you are. If you can sleep, just sleep & don't be hard on yourself. Our house isn't the cleanest, but you know what? I ran errands for my hubby, we didn't starve, the dishes were washed, I spent several hours with my husband. And for where I'm at right now, I'm proud of that🙌

Answer

It’s possible that it’s normal—exhaustion was my first pregnancy symptom with my first. 
Having said that, I would highly encourage you to get your thyroid checked. Fatigue is also one of the symptoms of hypothyroidism (which I have, and think I may have also had—undiagnosed—when I was pregnant with my daughter. If you do have thyroid issues it’s important that you get on medication to manage them. If you don’t, you have one less thing to worry about. ☺️

Answer

You’re creating a human inside of you, your body definitely needs its rest 😁 and even though it’s annoying to hear.... seriously sleep now and enjoy it because once that baby comes you’re never sleeping again 😂

Answer

I was in the couch all day long during my first trimester and if I’m not working. I’m exhausted all the time. With the symptoms I got, I’m glad I’m out. Lol

Answer

Sleep as much as you can... I’m 23 wks now and slept so much in my 1st trimester but now I cannot sleep AT ALL. I’ve been up till 8 am the past 3 nights 🤦🏽‍♀️

Answer

The best thing you can do while pregnant is listen to your body! If you need sleep then sleep if you are hungry then eat etc, etc. Making a tiny human is tough work and the more you fight it the worse you will feel

Answer

Getting plenty of sleep while pregnant, particularly in the first trimester is a GREAT thing!
