Pregnant Girl Problems

Anonymous Asked: I dont get enough sleep. Is it okay for the baby?

Well, since baby’s sleep schedule doesn’t correlate with yours, there’s not really a problem. Baby can be sound asleep while you’re tossing and turning and getting frustrated with the fact that you’re still awake. I looked it up, and the only thing that I could find that says that lack of sleep could be harmful to baby is if your lack of sleep is so great that it is affecting your ability to function (ie, you fall asleep at the wheel, or stumble and fall over because you’re so exhausted). I also saw that there is some kind of correlation with c-sections and lack of sleep during the third trimester, but I don’t know how supported that is.

The best thing you can do is ask your doctor, and if he or she finds it a cause for concern, hopefully they can help you figure out a way to get more sleep!
