Sleep Posted: 03-10-06 21:01pm
I always complain about everything and how
the sleeping is affecting my day at chores
and everything, how do I prevent from
sleeping alot.. I mean I would sleep
around 7 and wake up around midnight..
Then fall back to sleep.. I constantly go
in and out.. The sleep state.. I mean im
only 6wks but I sleep alot more than I
orginally do.. This is my second
pregnancy and I never sleep more and more
.. With my first.
Tell me its normal .. Thanks
p.S no morning sickness or anything.. Is
that normal?

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!!

wow I don't think I could do it! Kids can
be a handful. I bet you are tired at the
end of the day.

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!

well I am no teacher actually I am just an
18 year old. And I do remember the best
time I had was when I was around that age
at school, it seems like teachers around
that age when your that young really try
and give kids there all, but then again
you do have to think of your family too.
Just try and get some rest and I am sure
it is hard being around kids that young
all day. I know I couldn't do it and I
seriously have respect for someone who is
pregnant and tending to a classroom full
of 10-11 year olds 5 days aweek.
Try and get some rest and don't feel so
down on yourself. :d
