With house work and job both, I barely get time to lie down properly yaar. My back starts paining by evening but rest matlab how much is enough? curious how others manage their rest.
I completely get how you feel, I used to be so anxious about whether I was resting 'correctly' or sleeping on the right side. It's totally fine to just lie down on the sofa and read or watch something relaxing. Don't stress your mind, mental rest is also so important.
Taking proper rest doesn't mean just sleeping all day, dear. Keep a pregnancy pillow to support your belly while sleeping on your left side. Try to take 20-30 min short naps during the afternoon, it really helps to recharge.
Oh, enjoy this sleep time as much as you can now! Once your baby becomes a toddler like mine, you'll crave even a 10-minute quiet sit-down. Just listen to your body, prop your legs up on a pillow, and relax.
I used to do a light warm water foot soak before sleeping to relax my tired legs. But honestly, if you are having extreme fatigue or dizziness, please check with your doctor immediately instead of just trying to rest. Safe is always better.
Left-side sleeping is your best friend now! Put on some light music, keep a pillow between your knees, and just snooze. You deserve all the pampering, so ask your husband to do the heavy lifting! 😊
