Hi all,
I am in my 17th week now.
These days I am feeling sleepy in afternoon though I used to take complete 8-9 hours sleep in night. I am working so its becoming really difficult to take a nap in between.
Is it normal?? Is anyone of you feeling the same situation?

Love
Somya ramya replied. Hi Sowmya,

I am in my 13th week and in the afternoons I am also feeling damn sleepy..
I am also working..so it is very difficult to sleep in the office..but now a days I am just sleeping atleast for 10mins..as I am unable to control it...
I am feeling damn sleepy after dinner also..
just by 7.30 I feel damn sleepy and I sleep for 2 hours..and again I get up by 9.30 ....I feel very energetic at 9.30pm....
So I am just thinking it is bcoz of our body changes....

How are you managing breakfast and lunch??? Do you cook breakfast and lunch?
I am eating some bread and some milk for breakfast...just unable to eat nutritious food for breakfast...

ok keep writing..
take care
luv
ramya

I m 13W and 4D. Even I feel sleepy in the afternoon.

Inspite of 7-8 hrs sleep in the night, I sleep for abt 45 mins to 1 hr. in the noon.

But, when u r working, it becomes impossible to sleep in the noon.
May be you try to sleep early in the night, so that u cope up with the body' s demand for rest.
ira replied. Hi sowmya!!

yes.. it' s true... though i used to feel a lot more sleepy in the first trimester... but your body needs more rest than earlier. try to rest in between your work... like megs said.. take short breaks. i read somewhere, try to keep a footstool or something for your feet too... since leaving your feet dangling for long hours is also not good...

i really admire you! working .... it must be more difficult for you to cope with the symptoms..

so you take care!!

and yess...... do you feel your baby move? what does it feel like?

love

Waow 17th week,I still have 4 more weeks to reach there.So 4m 16th week onwards they say u can feel baby movements,what abt u?did u feel it?

Regarding Feeling sleepy,I 2 am feeling sleepy during afternoons,coz I' m at home ,I sleep for solid 2 hrs.I put on Garbahasanskar CD n go off to sleep.Atleast this way baby can hear whats playing..I feel feeling sleepy is very much normal during pregnancy,one of my friend,for her feeling sleepy increased when she was in her last month.Then she used to sleep like a log.So fikar not,feeling sleepy is another symptom of being pregnant.BuT I understand,since ur working,it wud be tuff for u 2 sleep.So during ur lunch hrs,finish ur lunch fast n take a short nap of 10mts.This wud help..Just try it out..

anyways take care.
