Sleep during Pregnancy!
Sleep During pregnancy!.
For most pregnant women, being comfortable and getting
enough rest can be two of the biggest challenges.
Typically, these problems affect more than 75 percent of
pregnant women. During the second and third trimesters
(20 weeks and beyond), lower back pain and stomach
discomfort often increase. Women who normally sleep on
their back or stomach often find getting enough restful
sleep especially challenging.
Sleeping on the back is discouraged because of
compression of the uterus on the large blood vessels
(inferior vena cava) and on the intestines, causing
decreased blood flow and oxygen to the baby. |

Some
Tips on Improving Your Sleep .
Set the proper mood to prepare for sleep through
soft lighting, a good book, a warm bath (try adding
a small amount of lavender oil) and/or a warm
non-caffeinated beverage. Experiment to see what
helps you unwind.
Massage by your partner is also a good way to relax.
1. Try daily
exercise - walking or pregnancy aerobics often help.
2. Use comfort aids,
such as the Gentle Air Maternity Bed or a special
body pillow to support your abdomen and hips.
3. Nap during the
day to help gain some rest and relaxation.
Ask your doctor can give you additional advice.
There are several over-the-counter and prescription
medications that are safe to use and effective if
other methods are not successful. |
