Afternoon nap not nice

1 reply

Hi everyone, I have a question or two: do other pregnant women find it unpleasant when an afternoon nap doesn't feel good? Everyone keeps saying "take some rest," and I do need it, but every time I take a quick nap in the afternoon and wake up, I feel completely awful...

    You just gotta follow your own rhythm, girl If you want to sleep, go to sleep; if you don’t, don’t. Everyone around you can tell you all sorts of things, but it’d be crazy to go to sleep just to keep others happy when you don’t feel comfortable doing so, right?? You’re the one who’s pregnant, and you’ll know best what you need to do Everyone’s different, so in my opinion, there’s no fixed pattern you have to follow. Just do your own thing. I was already doing groceries and laundry just two days after giving birth, while the postpartum care worker couldn’t believe her eyes and kept telling me I needed to rest. But I felt good doing it, so that’s what I did, and I’ve never regretted it
