...and I can't get myself to do anything but sleep. I worked 6am to 4pm today, and was asleep by 4:30. I woke up just as my poor husband was about to go to sleep and whined a little about how I was so hungry but too tired to make anything. Of course he gets up and makes me dinner, and brings it to me in bed. What a husband!
Did anyone else feel extremely lazy during pregnancy?? I hope 2nd trimester gives me a little more energy or this child is going to be born into one messy house. Me "nesting" right now is surrounding myself in pillows and wishing I could sleep 20 hours a day.
Very normal, Jes. The first three months I think your body is in such shock from all the hormone changes that all you want to do is sleep - that will get better...until the baby is born and then..... no one sleeps!!
ReplyDeleteTaking a long nap whenever you want to is one of the luxuries of a first pregnancy. Do NOT feel guilty about it; enjoy the rest while you can.
ReplyDeleteAs a good friend told me: Your body is working so hard- just rest and sleep as much as you can. Don't worry about the cleaning or laundry or your to do list. You'll have energy for all that later.
ReplyDeleteAnd as a recent devotion for women stated: When you're pregnant, know that lying on the couch and eating well is a productive day.
