As the royal tour of Australia continues, it seems the Duchess of Sussex is feeling some jet lag—but it’s not necessarily from traveling. During a visit to Bondi Beach to participate in an “anti-bad vibe circle” with members of the OneWave surf community mental health support group, Markle talked with circle participant Charlotte Connell who is also pregnant, about 23 weeks according to news reports. Cornell says Markle told her that her own pregnancy has been making her tired, and keeping her up at odd hours. Mamas around the world are nodding in agreement. “Meghan told me that pregnancy was like having jet lag,” Sky News quotes Cornell. “She said she was up at 4:30 a.m. this morning doing yoga in her room as she couldn’t sleep.”
It’s not surprising that (on a two-week tour with a mind-boggling 76 planned engagements) Markle is feeling a bit tired. Fatigue is so common in pregnancy, we hope someone on the tour is making sure Markle can sneak in a nap now and then (seriously, research suggests pregnant women who regularly nap are less likely to have a baby with a low birth weight ).
As for being up at 4:30 in the morning doing yoga? Well, if you can’t sleep (a nd so often pregnant mamas-to-be struggle with this ) self-care though yoga may be the next best thing. It’s a great way to relax, and a recently published study found working out during pregnancy can cut your labor time down significantly. Meghan may have pregnancy-induced jet lag, but it sounds like she knows how to take care of herself, something all pregnant mamas should remember to do.
