Re: Best time to slp :
Unless your doctor is concerned about something, there's nothing wrong with you. Having never experienced this before but having watched lots of loved ones go through this, I can attest to the fact that no two pregnancies were the same. Some had tons of energy and were zipping around until the baby came. Some were constantly nauseated and sluggish. Others had their energetic days and their lazy days.
If walking for more than 20 minutes makes you feel bad, don't walk for more than 20 minutes. Perhaps try yoga or gentle stretching exercises? Or maybe pop in an exercise video, sit down, and only do the hand/arm movements? That's what a lot of doctors recommend for people on bed rest who still want to get some exercise.
Above all, check with your doctor first about increasing your activity levels and your sleeping pattern.
Re: Best time to slp :
Hmmm nadz if I remember correct you said you are having a girl :) (masha allah) what I have observed that pregnancies for some women are a little tougher with girls. my mom didn't face a single day of nausea and excess sleep when she was pregnant with me but my case was altogether different. Your body is making a whole new life inside you "a baby" ...you will feel different , you will feel sleepy and you will feel strange too after all your body is providing all the raw materials and using up the energy.
I couldn't explain it in a better way to you.
don't think to much ......there is nothing wrong with you masha allah !
