Question: Is it okay for a 8 months pregnant woman to be sleeping during the day Some say that if a pregnant woman normally sleeps in the day time during delivery it will be difficult for the child to be born because the child will be sleeping
Answer: Hi 

It is okay for a pregnant woman to sleep during the day time as it is important for her to get as much rest as possible I believe that is just a myth to encourage the pregnant woman to be physically active during her pregnancy 

However it is also very important that she stays physically active during the duration of her pregnancy so long as it is not dangerous to her health as discussed with her primary care giver during antenatal care classes 

Exercises such as short walks is useful to pregnant women so long as it is not contraindicated during her pregnancy
