3rd trimester and i just cannot find a comfortable position anymore, kamar pains and i keep waking up at night. so tired during the day because of it. what helped u guys sleep better? pillows, side, anything?
Actually, my doctor told me that sleeping on the left side improves blood flow to the baby and helps you sleep better. She also suggested avoiding heavy meals and water at least 2 hours before bed to reduce acidity and washroom visits.
With my PCOS history, my hormones were always a bit erratic, making sleep quite difficult during my pregnancy. What helped me was a very strict routine: a warm shower followed by some light stretching before bed. Just be gentle with your body.
My saas used to make me a cup of warm milk with a little badam powder every night to help me sleep. Honestly, it worked wonders for my restlessness! Also, try keeping a small pillow under your tummy for extra support.
I tracked my sleep patterns on my pregnancy app and realized screens were keeping me awake. I started listening to soothing white noise or meditation tracks on the app before sleeping, and it really helped calm my mind.
Sleep can get so difficult when your body is changing, but don't worry, it's just a phase. Try sleeping on your left side and keep a soft pillow between your knees to relieve the back pressure. I'm always here if you feel restless at night, okay?
Oh god, I used to stay awake worrying if my sleeping position would hurt the baby! But please don't overthink like I did, our bodies naturally adjust. Just use lots of cushions to make yourself cozy and try to relax.
I am in my 2nd trimester and honestly struggling to get even 5 hours of sleep due to frequent washroom trips. Does anyone else also feel super restless at 3 AM? I heard a pregnancy pillow helps, should I buy one?
Welcome to the sleepless club, dear! A C-shaped pregnancy pillow was a total game-changer for me during both my pregnancies. Also, try keeping the room cool and dim the lights an hour before you plan to sleep.
