I'm Currently Feeling: | How much sleep is too much? How many hours a day on average are you ladies sleeping? How much sleep would be too much before you would consider discussing it with your doctor? I know I'm supposed to be really tired and all, I am pregnant after all. But I'm sleeping almost 12 hours a day and it still takes all of my energy to get through my awake time. I just don't know if that is just normal for being pregnant or if it is something I should be concerned about? |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I think it is different for each person, but I am sleeping a ton as well. I go to bed early and still have trouble hauling my butt out of bed for work in the morning!! My doctor suggested that I try taking more iron, as that may help. Honestly, in my opinion - you can never sleep too much!!  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I sleep about 10-12 hours a night then have a two hour nap midday. I think if I need it, then it's surely worse to not let myself sleep. I haven't had a nap today though and I am almost seeing double I'm so tired. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I get around 8 hours sleep. My sleeping pattern hasnt changed since I've been pregnant. I do feel more tired, but I can't go sleep early. Nor sleep durin day. So I just go sleep at same time all the time near enough.  |
