Sleep

I remember when I was that far along I slept soooooo much. I didn't know why though because I had only been about a week late on my period. For the next 3 weeks if I wasn't sleeping, I was up eating something. I didn't eat a lot, but enough to make the nausia go away. I thought I was actually coming down with the flu, but I was about 5/6 weeks preggy....

So what you're going though is totally normal. I read that the reason why we sleep so much in the beginning is the actual work it takes the body to reproduce is immense. The body actually releases a hormone that makes us extreemely sleepy so that the body can use all of the engergy to create your angel!!

Good luck with your pregnancy!! The sleepiness shouldn't burdon you for too much longer...Enjoy it while you can I guess, cuz 2 is gonna be a whammie!!

I am unbelievably tierd too. About six or seven weeks gone and could sleep anywhere at any time! Not great as I teach a really loud and naughty group of 10/11 year olds. Find it really hard to get to work in the morning, leave alone stay awake all day when i'm there! How log til the tierdness goes?

I'm not sure I am doing it very well! I used to be a very good teacher, but I have nothing left to give them. I hate being bad at my job, but want to give my baby the best chance possible. I'm finding getting the balance really difficult. I am off work with an awful cold today and feel so guilty for not being there. I need another day off, but know that tomorrow I will be at school making life sized egyptian mummies and playing rounders! Feel really torn!

Just phoned to say i'll be in tomorrow, but feel dreadful.

Hope you get some rest and get to feeling better. :d
