Is there such thing as too much sleep?

Question

I am currently 6 weeks pregnant and the nausea and fatigue have just hit extremely hard. I’m a nurse and have a few days off through out the week. Is it a crime to lay around in bed and on the couch all day during my days off? My app told me to make sure I get my steps in, and honestly the only thing I wanted to do was lounge the ENTIRE day. I don’t “plan” to be lazy my entire pregnancy, but I feel like with these hormones raging and my body adjusting this week, I want to just sleep.

Answer

Sleep now, your body needs it especially before baby comes

Answer

I had HG. I was napping sometimes 3 times a day lol. Get your sleep now!

Answer

No. Its not wrong. Your body is just getting used to growing a baby. I remember with my first baby all I would do was throw up all day and sleep afterwards. I had no energy at all. I was losing a ton of weight, and I was very sleepy too. Sometimes it hits hard (pregnancy) and you have to listen to your body. I cant imagine being a nurse and youre on your feet all the time! Rest as much as you can, this is what youre supposed to do , specially in the beginning… your ob probably meant to walk around and stuff starting like 3rd trimester when you have more energy and getting bigger/eating more. Not now! Rest mama! Congratulations!! ❤️

Answer

Listen to your body. When you are exhausted, sleep. Pregnancy is tiring.. especially in the first and third trimester. Your body needs all the rest it can get ! & if it’s telling you it needs rest, listen.

Answer

Sleep it's needed!

Answer

Sleep lol. No such thing as too much when you’re growing a person

Answer

Nurse here as well. When I first found out that’s all I did was sleep. I meet my steps at work, so I don’t worry too much. But if you are worried maybe set an alarm to only sleep a few hours, get up and go for a walk or do something around the house. I also wear TEDs sometimes to prevent swelling.

Answer

You're very early into your pregnancy so no, get some sleep. I think in my first trimester i was sleeping upwards of 13 hours a day. Id come home from work and sleep until my alarm went off the next morning. No when you're later into your pregnancy there have been studies that show sleeping for extended amounts of time without moving can slightly increase your risk for a stillborn, although rare it's still a possibility so I'd try to get up in the morning walk around a bit maybe eat breakfast and if you're still tired go take another nap. Ive never taken so many naps in my life until i got pregnant lol
