Comfortable Sleeping during pregnancy can be very hard indeed, and will only become more difficult as your pregnancy progresses. You may feel very fatigued and sleepy right throughout pregnancy. During early pregnancy most women have little trouble sleeping. If you are not feeling enough sickness in morning, the inability to rest with comfort adds a bit of night sickness to the mix. It is commonly advised that pregnant women should sleep their backs once they reach the 2-3 month period. Thus the weight of the baby and uterus can compress the inferior vena cava, which takes blood from your lower body to the heart, which may cause dizziness and sweaty.
You may find sleeping a bit more challenging and impossible as your uterus continues to expand and grow. Most women find they have more trouble getting comfortable by about five months during their pregnancy. It is however vital that you do find a comfortable position and get as much rest as possible. However, here are some sleep tips to keep you feel your best! Dress Wisely: Wear comfortable clothing when going to sleep, whether it is for long winter’s nap or for the night. If possible, take short naps for 30 to 60 minutes during the day to make up for lost sleep. For pregnant women the concept of elastic clothing should be used with frequency which a good idea. You can wear pajamas that are breathable and will regulate temperature so that you can feel comfort. In addition you need to stay away from things that can fuel the fires of discomfort, such as woolen pajamas |
