Light or Heavy sleeper?

I have a concern as far as hearing my baby cry when I give birth because as it is I love sleep. Ok? I'm a super heavy sleeper. I mean heavy. A hurricane can pass us by and the house can rattle and there could be a party with a DJ outside and I'm like "whoah when did this happen?" I can't hear anything. My dogs can bark because they hear knocking and I'm like nope. Lol. Does this change at all?! The father of my child was in the marine corps for a decade and he is just so paranoid though! He'll hear someone opening the door and he'll get up Or I'll ask him to move over and he'll comply. I can't do that! I'm dead when I sleep!!

Pregnancy baffles me. Never eases to surprise me. How easy it looks on celebrities and movies lol. Anyway I hope so!! I hate how someone can rob the place and I'd be clueless.

I cant say 100% for sure but most women get a maternal instinct that kicks in after baby is born and youll probably be fine :)

Mommy instincts kick in. I was a heavy sleeper as well, now I wake up to every little sound when it comes to my son.
