Adequate to maintain your daily function.
Your sleep pattern is going to change in your third trimester since you are waking up every 2-3 hours to empty your bladder (pee). Try to get as much sleep as possible so that you are well rested, there are no set hours of sleep recommended. If you have concerns about sleep, have a discussion with your OBGyn.

Most women find it difficult to sleep in the third trimester. Eight hours is optimum but does not often happen. If you can sleep get as much as you can because baby will keep you up soon!
