[quote=Anonymous]Your hormones will give you an adrenaline rush for the first few weeks. After that, your heavy and leaky boobs will help wake you up (if you are bfing). Honestly, your sleep demands might change. Birth is a huge "re-set" on the body sometimes. I used to be a heavy sleeper, but that all went away when the baby was born- I woke up at the slightest sound of a whimper....and to this day, I can hear my kids' little footsteps walking in their room (despite carpeting, down the hallway, door closed, etc). On a side note, you might want to get some blood work done. Perhaps you're anemic if you are as sleep heavy as you say. That 1st trimester of pregnancy is brutal enough for even the most well rested.[/quote]
