A member asked:

Do pregnant woman sleep more days or weeks before they deliver?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not usually: Because they are more uncomfortable from the distended uterus, if you are excessively tired your OB can check another CBC and thyroid tests and other blood work to make sure you do not have anemia or worsening anemia or thryoid problem or a viral infection, etc.
