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.
Later on in pregnancy, you may feel tired because of the extra weight you are carrying. Make sure you get plenty of rest. As your bump gets bigger, it can be difficult to get a good night's sleep. You might find it uncomfortable lying down or, just when you get comfortable, you have to get up to go to the loo.
