I am 38 weeks 4 days and I have managed to take two naps already today. About 8 am (I originally woke at 5) I suddenly felt exhausted and so I went back to sleep for an hour and a half. Same thing happened around noon and just took another hour and a half nap. I didn’t even sleep poorly last night.

I don’t know if this exhaustion is any sign of labor but I do feel very grateful that I am able to listen to my body and get this kind of rest. This is my third child and my husband has taken the other two kids out of the house today so mommy can relax.
