The head of the drum is traditionally made from goat skin, providing the djembe with piercing high-pitched tone and slap sounds (struck by the hand near the edge of the drum) owing to the thinness of goat skin (compared to antelope or calf-skin).
Why Am I So Tired While I Am Pregnant? No matter how much sleep you get, you will be tired for at least part of your pregnancy. This fatigue springs from the body changes and emotional stress caused by impending motherhood. Your body is working 24 hours a day, seven days a week, creating a new human being. That's enough work to make anyone tired.
For many women, the extreme tiredness of the first trimester is quite a surprise. And itâs an especially hard transition for those who are normally go-getters with lots of energy. Women who usually need only 6 hours of sleep at night often find they need nearly double that during these first weeks of pregnancy. And, for others, daytime tiredness is paired with trouble sleeping deeply or for more than a few hours at night. Nausea and vomiting can also be a big drain on your energy.
