How much do babies sleep in the womb?
I'm pregnant with my first baby, and my sister was telling me that babies sleep even in the womb. I find that so interesting! How much do babies typically sleep when they are still inside?

Babies sleep for almost 90% to 95% of the time in the womb, which is about 20-22 hours a day. Whenever you feel active kicks, that's just their short awake window. Don't worry, they are just resting and growing.

In our days, we didn't have scans to check this, but we knew the baby was sleeping when there was no movement. They sleep almost the whole day inside. As long as you feel those sweet kicks a few times a day, everything is fine.

During my pregnancy, my gynecologist told me that the baby sleeps for around 20 hours a day in the womb. I noticed my baby was most active at night when I was trying to sleep! It's a very common pattern.

Don't worry, dear. The little one is sleeping almost 90% of the day inside you to build their brain and body. Just eat healthy, stay calm, and if you ever feel a sudden decrease in regular movements, just contact your doctor immediately.

They sleep for like 20 to 22 hours in there! Honestly, I am extremely jealous of womb-life because once they come out, nobody gets to sleep at all. Enjoy this quiet time while you can!
