Sleeping Disorder During Pregnant

Of course, it is expected that lack of sleep to have a baby - but chances are you do not expect to go when you want to have a baby. But now you know: It's almost as difficult to get a good night's sleep during pregnancy as it is when you're a new mom. And perhaps more difficult, because there is no fragrance, hunchback hunchbacked baby in your arms for makeup, dark circles, bags under your eyes.

Sleep Problems in the First Trimester


Sleep problems during early pregnancy in the first trimester, when the frequent trips to the bathroom during the night (urination, vomiting, and then meditate) dashboard of your dreams. Then the rest of your beauty begins to deal with a completely different cast of characters interruption of sleep, every night parade as your partner starts snoring: heartburn, hunger, dreams and nightmares, cramps in the legs, restless legs syndrome, anxiety.

Sleep Problems in the Third Trimester

And in your third trimester, sleep only when you need it most (if only to rest for parents deprived of sleep, which is just around the corner), sleep becomes more difficult to achieve. Adding insult to injury, you can not even drive and turn freely (without a hand or crane). Instead, you will host an evening of repetition that pregnancy happens near: urinary frequency. When your uterus flattens your bladder, store the value of overnight urine becomes an impossible task. To make the problem (and race bathroom) worse renal dialysis, that usually 50% - are more urine before (you urinate two, if you do not "know).

Finding the Right Sleep Position

You may be suffering from a lack of sleep during pregnancy for another reason - position. For example, the stomach deep sleep soon as their preferred sleep position is the most comfortable balancing on a basketball during pregnancy, aft berth is to find a new way to sleep (sleep is not recommended after the first trimester because the flat on your back can cause unnecessary pressure on the blood vessels and most important your overworked). Sleeping on the left side of your hand, if possible - to make things much easier on your circulatory system, but if you're not used to the location, it may also everything is just much more difficult when is sleeping.

Tips for Getting a Good Night's Sleep

What you can do to solve your sleep problems during pregnancy? Here are some suggestions of tried-and-true:

• Avoid caffeine (in all its forms, so put that chocolate bar down) after noon.
• Get your eight glasses of water (or other fluids), but taper off at night. Drink if you're thirsty, but don't down a 16-ounce water bottle right before bedtime.
• Exercise regularly — during the day or early evening. A daily workout will help you sleep better, but if it comes too close to bedtime, it could actually sabotage sleep (exercise is energizing).
• Have a light snack before hitting the hay to stave off midnight hunger pangs. Include protein and a complex carb (think cheese and a whole-grain muffin), as well as some warm milk (it really works!) or decaffeinated tea. Besides the duh (avoid caffeine, again in all its forms — sorry, no chocolate with the warm milk), stay away from sugar, which will give you an energy boost when you least want one, and then leave your blood sugar levels wobbly during the night (yet another strike against chocolate).
• Take a warm bath just before bed. The soothing and relaxing effects of the bath should help you summon the sandman sooner.
• Crack a window — as long as the weather's comfortable (which for a pregnant woman means anything from 65 degrees on down—way down). The fresh air can be soporific.  If the weather's not cooperative, keep the room comfortably (for you, not your spouse) chilled. Remember, your heat's up, the thermostat's should be down.
• Make love, if you're in the mood. Or at least ask your man for a massage — both of which can relax you.
• Try some relaxation exercises — visualization, deep breathing, meditation, or even yoga or chanting before hitting the sack. And actually, counting sheep can work the same way — the monotony of watching those little guys jump over the fence can be truly relaxing (unless you associate them with insomnia).
• Leave a night-light on in the bathroom — switching on the overhead is way too much of a wakeup call and will make it much harder to fall back asleep.

More Ways to Beat Insomnia During Pregnancy

When you are ready to go to bed, remember: There is no such thing as pillows too many. Use them to support parts of the body at rest, whatever you need. If the first (or second, or third) you do not succeed, do not sweat (although, since you are pregnant, you have been sweating - then lower the heat a little more details). Get up, read a book, watch TV, and then try again. The emphasis on the closed eye will only make it more difficult to obtain.
