Question: I had major pregnancy insomnia ...now I can sleep 20 hours a day?!?Has this happened to any of you other pregnant gals? I could not sleep more than about 2 hours from about week 15 to 20,with the exception of a long nap sometimes.Now, at 20 weeks, I can sleep all day- its crazy- suddenly the bed is comfortable, the bump is not so bothersome. All I want to do is sleep!I have not been extra active- less active actually. I have not been as hungry either? How strange is this??
Answer: You should go see your doctor and get checked for anemia, you should also make sure you are drinking enough water - sleepiness is a sign of dehydration, very easy to become dehydrated while pregnant your body uses up water almost as fast as you can drink it.But I have been in similar situations, i can't sleep when i am nervous and during the 12-20 weeks is usually when you are going through ultrasounds and other testing and it made me very nervous, once i saw my little one on the ultrasound I relaxed and fell into a nice sleep pattern - until now, 33 weeks and so many complications I'm finding my sleep pattern erratic again
