Tips To Sleep Well During Pregnancy

Sleeping during pregnancy is one of the most complicated things when you are pregnant. Sleeping well can be quite challenging at this stage as sometimes we are moving around all night trying to find a position that we are comfortable in.

It is also normal for pregnancy symptoms to prevent you from sleeping well. Waking up frequently due to nausea, anxiety, insomnia, or heat can make rest a challenge.

That is why we want to give you some tips to sleep well during pregnancy.

Tips to sleep well during pregnancy

• Experts recommend sleeping on your left side. This position helps to keep blood and nutrients flowing into your uterus. Your kidneys can also remove waste and fluids more easily.
• Watch what you eat and drink. You should reduce your consumption of coffee, chocolates, soda and tea, especially in the afternoon and evening. That way you don’t have to go to the toilet early in the morning.

• Avoid very heavy and spicy spicy foods. It is important that you avoid these, especially before going to bed, as they can cause indigestion.
• Try taking a nap during the day. Try to take naps of at least 30 minutes as this improves memory and also reduces fatigue.
• Do not train in the evening or at night. Make sure to exercise early in the morning so that your body has time to relax. Exercise can make you feel exhausted and prevent you from falling deeply into sleep.

• Do some relaxation techniques that can help you relieve your stress. Read more about meditation and yoga as these activities will also help you relax your mind.

• Establish a routine for getting a good night’s sleep. You may be taking a bath, listening to music, or reading a book before going to bed. This will make you form a habit and your body will get used to it.
• Make sure your bedroom is a comfortable and cool environment. Block out excess light and noise that prevents you from sleeping well.
• Only use your bed for sleeping. When we lie in bed we often write something or watch television: it is important to use your bed as a place to sleep and that your body gets used to it.
• If you can’t sleep, try listening to music to relax. You can listen to songs that help you relax.

The best positions to sleep well during pregnancy

There are certain sleeping positions that help us feel more comfortable and sleep better. Here are a few:

1. Sleep on your side with a pillow between your legs. This is a highly recommended position for sleeping. This is because you keep your spine straight and avoid the weight of one leg on the other leg. It is even better to use a long pillow as it also supports your tummy.

2. Put your legs on some pillows. During pregnancy it is normal to get cramps and pain in your legs. If this happens to you, try putting a pillow under your feet. This will help with blood flow and prevent varicose veins and cramps.

3. If you have stomach problems, you can try to sleep in a semi-sitting position. This is one of the most recommended sleeping positions if you suffer from heartburn or other stomach problems. You have to be very careful about what you eat before going to sleep so that this doesn’t happen.

4. The mattress you sleep on is also important. According to obstetrician Agustín Conde-Agudelo, it’s important to have a mattress that won’t damage your spine. He claims that “a very hard mattress, such as the floor or a table, is just as harmful as an extremely soft mattress that does not support your spine.” A good mattress should support your entire spine.
