im in my 7th month and just cant sleep at night, either pet ke wajah se uncomfortable or my mind keeps running. so tired the whole day after. what worked for you ladies, pls share.
I used to stay awake till 3 AM worrying that my sleeplessness would affect the baby's development! But my doctor reassured me that the baby is sleeping fine even if I am awake. Just resting your body on the bed without looking at the clock helps reduce the anxiety.
Honestly, ditch the phone at least an hour before bed and turn on some white noise. I had terrible insomnia, but taking a warm shower and keeping the room freezing cold really helped me drift off. Don't take any OTC sleeping pills without asking your gynac.
When I couldn't sleep at night, my mother would sit with me and massage my feet with warm sesame oil (tel). It felt so relaxing and comfortable, and my family made sure the house was totally quiet. Try getting a gentle foot massage from your husband or family before sleeping.
Staying active during the day really helped me sleep better at night. I made sure to do my 30-minute evening walk regularly (after checking with my doc). It naturally tired me out and improved my sleep quality immensely.
It is so hard to sleep when you are already physically drained from nausea. Try having a very light snack like a dry toast or cracker before bed so acidity doesn't keep you awake. Also, sipping warm chamomile tea or warm milk can soothe your system.
