Sleeping early for good habits?

Question

It’s my second pregnancy 20 weeks and I forgot to ask my OB about this. I’m usually a night owl and sleep on average at around 1 or 2am. Some family members have said the baby will be awake all hours of the the night because I’m getting him used to my schedule already and won’t be a good sleeper. I’m in bed but not asleep. Is this true?! I

Answer

No lol 
Babies naturally confuse day and night.

Answer

No, babies have no circadian rhythm development until 8 weeks and it doesn't develop fully until 11 weeks. Even past that point it's normal and desirable for babies to wake frequently to protect against SIDS. Sleep is developmental and gets better with practice just like walking, talking, eating solids etc etc. If it were true that being awake at night during pregnancy will affect your baby then EVERY WOMEN EVER would have problems post partum because pregnancy insomnia, uncomfortable in bed, snoring themselves awake, too hot, needing to pee all the time etc etc etc make sleeping, especially in the third trimester, nearly impossible 🤣

Answer

my family has always said this too!! and I've always wondered. glad to read from others that it's not true!

Answer

I slept whenever I wanted too during my pregnancy sometimes I would stay up all night and sleep all day and then switch. My almost 1 month old does the same she has 0 pattern to her sleep she basically sleeps around the clock she’s a very sleepy baby

Answer

Lol god I wish this was true!

Answer

I went to bed at 8pm my whole last pregnancy and my son is a horrible sleeper. So I don’t think it has anything to do with that.

Answer

Then I'm hugely disappointed in my daughters sleeping skills if that should have any truth. It took her a damn long time to not get up before 6 in the morning and she most definitely does not have that from me getting up early in pregnancy 😂

Answer

Babies are awake all night no matter what, you always have to get them to understand the difference between day and night

Answer

If this is true my baby is going to be whacked up. Lol. I alternate between a day and nights shift schedule 😂 But nah. Babies adjust according to ours when in utero, but their active time is normally our sleep time. But they are still asleep a good junk of the time.
