Im around 8 weeks and my sleep has gone for a toss. I usually sleep on my stomach but now im scared to do that. Which position is okay this early? not getting proper rest at all yaar.
In early pregnancy, sleeping on your back or side is generally fine, but always ask your gynac during your checkup about what positions are safest for u.
I had severe bleeding issues early on, so my doctor advised me to rest as much as possible in whatever position felt most comfortable. Please talk to your doctor once to make sure there are no specific restrictions for you.
Sleep however u can right now because once the baby comes, sleep becomes a luxury! In the first trimester, your belly is small so side sleeping is easiest and very safe.
My pregnancy tracker app suggested starting the habit of sleeping on the left side early on to improve blood flow to the baby. Putting a small soft pillow between your knees helps a lot too.
Honestly, sleep like a star fish while u still can! Right now your belly is tiny, so enjoy sleeping on your stomach or back before the huge bump forces u to only side-sleep.
Beta, try to sleep on your left side as it keeps baby active and healthy. Drink a warm cup of milk with a pinch of elaichi before bed to get peaceful sleep.
