I was in so much pain in my 3rd trimester i barley slept. I am getting way more sleep with a newborn than I ever was the whole pregnancy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/napping-before-baby-comes#post-2224231 Wed, 01 Jul 2015 19:36:27 +0000 daniellemybelle 2224231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Girl.

Newborn sleep is better than full term pregnant sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/napping-before-baby-comes#post-2224212 Wed, 01 Jul 2015 19:12:45 +0000 Miss Ariel 2224212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always hate the advice catch up on your sleep now while you can because you can't save it up. But I would def take advantage of the fact that you can sleep whenever you want and to just enjoy it now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/napping-before-baby-comes#post-2224211 Wed, 01 Jul 2015 19:09:23 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 2224211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nap! It isn't like it will effect night time sleep since you are probably up a lot going to the bathroom so I would enjoy any carefree sleep while you can! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/napping-before-baby-comes#post-2224209 Wed, 01 Jul 2015 19:03:32 +0000 FliegepilzHut 2224209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you, everyone!

I was trying to get all the sleep in that I could, and it worked against me. I think if I had added in a low impact activity every day, I would have been better able to sleep at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/napping-before-baby-comes#post-2223972 Wed, 01 Jul 2015 14:17:08 +0000 gentlelunette 2223972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I napped any time I felt like I needed a rest (sometimes 3 times a day!) The only day I didn't nap was the day I went into labour... And I regret it because I think my labour stalled due to sheer exhaustion. Sleep as much as you can!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/napping-before-baby-comes#post-2223963 Wed, 01 Jul 2015 14:12:35 +0000 FliegepilzHut 2223963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Yikes! In retrospect, was there anything that you would have done differently? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/napping-before-baby-comes#post-2223961 Wed, 01 Jul 2015 14:10:57 +0000 FliegepilzHut 2223961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: @Rainbow Sprinkles: Thanks guys! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/napping-before-baby-comes#post-2223960 Wed, 01 Jul 2015 14:10:42 +0000 erinpye 2223960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/napping-before-baby-comes#post-2223958 Wed, 01 Jul 2015 14:10:21 +0000 looch 2223958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was off work for 6 weeks before my due date, what ended up happening is that my days and nights got reversed! I was sleeping like absolute garbage at night and ended up going to bed in the morning when my husband left for work.</p> <p>Then, when I went into labor one morning, I hadn't slept at all the night before. I was one tired bugger....and I haven't caught up and my son is almost FIVE YEARS OLD! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/napping-before-baby-comes#post-2223956 Wed, 01 Jul 2015 14:10:02 +0000 FliegepilzHut 2223956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: 2 votes for napping! I think it's settled (for today at least) and I'm going to go lie down...and then try to be more productive. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/napping-before-baby-comes#post-2223955 Wed, 01 Jul 2015 14:08:48 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2223955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/napping-before-baby-comes#post-2223953 Wed, 01 Jul 2015 14:08:03 +0000 avivoca 2223953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I slept whenever I could. I even took a day off from work (at my midwife's request) because I was so exhausted after not sleeping due to illness. I mean, you can't bank sleep, but I also don't think you should not rest while you can because you will be exhausted later. I'd rather be better rested now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/napping-before-baby-comes#post-2223952 Wed, 01 Jul 2015 14:07:40 +0000 Foodnerd81 2223952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my god- nap!!! I had two weeks off before C was born and I did whatever I felt like- sleep in. Nap. Go to bed early. You aren't sleeping well at night anyway (those pee breaks are good enough prep for motn wake ups) and its better to at least start labor well rested. </p> <p>So yeah my vote is always nap. </p>
