I don’t know about you, but when I was pregnant I spent a LOT of time on the couch. My hip pain made it very difficult to get comfortable enough to sleep in any position. And then there was that fun time I ended up with a bad cold at 32 weeks pregnant.
I literally did not sleep more than about 2 hours in that whole week.
What did I do? Well, a mix of things.
- Netflix
- Bubbleshooter (yes… I played that game for HOURS. But I beat it… so… yeah… go me!)
- Watch TV and MOVIES
Now when you’re pregnant, even if your taste usually runs more to Alien and Lord of the Rings like me, you might find it hard to enjoy that kind of movie. My hormones were pushing me more in the direction of movies involving pregnancy and babies. Totally not my normal fare at all…
