I'm finding it really difficult to get comfortable and sleep well at night during my pregnancy. What are some good positions or tips for sleeping comfortably at night? I'm so tired of tossing and turning.
Left-side sleeping is medically recommended because it increases blood flow to the placenta. Don't worry if you wake up on your back sometimes, just turn back to the side. Use supportive pillows to lock your position in.
If you are having severe back pain, breathing issues or can't sleep at all, please tell your doctor. I had some complications and sleep issues were actually related to blood pressure, so don't ignore extreme discomfort. Gynac will guide you correctly.
It is hard to sleep comfortably these days, dear. Try using a soft cushion under your tummy or between your knees. Hope you get some peaceful rest tonight.
Haan na, sleeping at night is so difficult with that growing belly! Try sleeping on your left side as it is best for the baby. Ek pillow dono legs ke beech me rakh lo, it gives so much relief, ho na.
Oh god, with twins I felt like an overturned turtle trying to sleep! Normal pillows did nothing, so I bought a giant C-shaped pregnancy pillow and made a fortress around myself in bed. Husband had to sleep on the edge of the mattress but hey, mama needs her sleep!
A warm cup of milk before bed or a gentle warm water foot soak always worked wonders for me. But if you have severe itching on your hands and feet at night, don't ignore it and ask your doctor immediately. Otherwise, light stretching before bed really helps relax the muscles.
