Why do i feel sleepy after eating during pregnancy?
Every single time after lunch i feel so heavy and just want to sleep, cant keep my eyes open na. Im 22 weeks. is this a normal pregnancy thing or should i check something? anyone same?
Honestly I just accepted the post lunch slump and kept my meals lighter at work so I dont knock out at my desk. Smaller portions and a little walk after eating helped me stay awake. Heavy rice meals = guaranteed nap.
Omg same here, after lunch I just want to pass out. Was wondering if others felt this too. Glad its normal, the tiredness in pregnancy is next level na.
My doctor said its the hormones plus blood sugar shifts after meals plus the body working overtime. She told me to take a short rest if I can but also keep meals balanced so the sugar doesnt spike and dip. If u feel extremely drowsy or dizzy though, mention it to ur gynac as iron levels can also cause it.
Totally normal yaar. Body is using so much energy to grow baby plus digestion, so after eating u just crash. Happened to me both times. Eat smaller meals more often, helps with that heavy sleepy feeling.
