We got to recovery room at about 7pm, ate something, bathed LO, and then tried to sleep -- I just kept staring at my son in disbelief of the day! Between the 4hr checks on me &amp; baby and BFing I def did get some Zzzz's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-sleep-after-giving-birth#post-457825 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 06:32:03 +0000 Rosie Girl 457825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. She was in NICU so I sat in there with her and my adrenaline high! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-sleep-after-giving-birth#post-457823 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 06:30:47 +0000 Sweet T 457823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a couple hours after delivery. I was exhausted. I woke up at 3:00am and DS was born at 9:17 pm. I'd say we probably went to sleep around 11ish. I got a few hours sleep before a nurse came in and decided I needed to practice walking at 2 or 3 in the morning. Annoying!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-sleep-after-giving-birth#post-457718 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 01:27:37 +0000 MsMini 457718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I took a nap in recovery, (1am - 1:30 am) then woke up for transfer and to cuddle with Sawyer for a while (2am-4am), then we all went to sleep from about 4am to 8 am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-sleep-after-giving-birth#post-457717 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 01:26:00 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 457717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I didn't sleep til 36 hours after she was born.</p> <p>What's funny, though, is that she didn't fall asleep for the first time until 6.5 hours after she was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-sleep-after-giving-birth#post-457636 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 23:49:13 +0000 KT326 457636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I delivered at 3pm and I don't think I fell asleep until around 10pm? I also only had about 3 hours of sleep the night before. But after delivery I was on such a baby high it didn't matter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-sleep-after-giving-birth#post-457630 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 23:46:57 +0000 travelgirl1 457630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I stayed up cuddling her and texting my family and friends in England the whole time. I couldn't get enough of her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-sleep-after-giving-birth#post-457594 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 23:27:59 +0000 Bao 457594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not until several hours later I was too excited and pumped with energy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-sleep-after-giving-birth#post-457585 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 23:23:02 +0000 sarac 457585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I delivered at 2 in the morning. I was so out of it after 36 hours of crappy labor and then my baby need resuscitation and going straight to the nicu. Ugh. After a while they took her and I sent my husband with her and the team left and I was sort of alone, which I actually enjoyed. Then I went and met her, and then I spent a little time with my family, and then I learned to pump. Then I slept for 2 hours? And then it was morning. So barely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-sleep-after-giving-birth#post-457575 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 23:14:52 +0000 mrskc 457575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was on baby high and couldn't sleep despite the fact that we got moved into pp room at 11:30 pm. I don't even remember when I finally slept but I think it was only for a couple of hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-sleep-after-giving-birth#post-457557 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 23:00:20 +0000 DillonLion 457557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I had a hemmorage and had to stay on a bunch of medication and IVs for an additional 12 hours and I was way too uncomfortable to sleep. Not in too much pain,but had to be on a catheter post childbirth which was insanely uncomfortable because they had to make sure my kidneys were functioning and I was producing plenty of urine. So no, no sleeping lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-sleep-after-giving-birth#post-457555 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 22:59:38 +0000 Maysprout 457555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a super high too.

I was definitely on a high both times. But after my super long labor with Wagon Jr. I eventually ended up taking a nap. I think. I don't even remember. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-sleep-after-giving-birth#post-457099 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 21:16:41 +0000 Rubies 457099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, because LO screamed her head off all night. The nurses felt sorry for me so one of them took her for a walk around the halls and let me sleep for 30 minutes. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-sleep-after-giving-birth#post-457094 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 21:15:56 +0000 prettylizy 457094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was on a super high then crashed like crazy after everything quieted down.
