Is lack of sleep bad for baby?

[Nicambhar]

Hhhmmm, I don't think it would be any harm to your baby if you weren't sleeping. I reckon as long as you are resting it would be ok..
I was same here when pg, probably averaged 2hrs a night broken sleep in the last 10 weeks of the pg.
Take care chick xx

I wouldn't think so Mel, afterall our bodies do start preparing us in the sleepless dept around this time.

I s'pose as long as you are taking it as easy as you can during the day for your own benefit so you don't get run down. Bub will sleep or rest as s/he needs it so it really is all about you and your health.

Take care hun and if you can get a nap even for an hour then do so

I had the same problem when pregnant with J, because Z just didn't sleep well, coupled with PUPPPs and there was no sleep for this pregnant lady. It's fine for bub because they sleep whenever they want, it makes no difference to them what you're doing sleepwise, really. The only thing I would be concerned about is being tired when you go into labour. That said if it's a long labour you'll be used to going with little sleep if that makes sense.

Thanks guys, I thought it was a stupid question, thought of it last night while I was still awake listening to screaming...
