Sleep During Labour??

Question

I’ve been suffering big time with my iron levels and I’m on higher iron tablets now which is good, but they think I’ll need an iron infusion. 
My main question is if you’re tired is it possible to nap during labour at any point? I’m now 34.5 weeks and it’s just crossed my mind.

Answer

I was low iron throughout my pregnancy and got an infusion the day I left the hospital after giving birth and I managed to squeeze in a couple of naps while I was labouring. Once I was hooked up to the epidural I napped big time too

Answer

I mean, it’s possible if you’re not in crazy pain with contractions.... they’re painful that’s why I got the epidural and then I slept

Answer

I had an epidural got to 5cm dilated with big contractions slept right through them no problem.

Answer

Depends how far along in labor you are some times the they wont allow you to

Answer

I was given morphine. Slept for almost 12 hours💪🏻 when you are actually in the middle of pushing, at least for me, it is kind of like an adrenaline rush. I did sleep for a whole day after giving birth though.

Answer

I got an epidural and literally slept from 5cm to time to push! About 7hrs of uninterrupted sleep and it was the best sleep I’d had in weeks!! It’s possible hun!!

Answer

Thank you everyone. Helps so much!
