Bad sleep while pregnant? 6 Reasons why your Sleep is not restful and what to do about it

Thanks so much for watching! 😊 If you have any tips on how to improve your sleep while pregnant, please share them with other pregnant women below - if you like! Thank you!

More tips to sleep better: - Limit fluid intake a few hours before bedtime. To stay hydrated make sure to get enough throughout the day. - If you need to go to the bathroom at night, listen to that urge! Ignoring it will make it more difficult to get up later. Also, keep the lights low and don't bring your phone to the bathroom in the middle of the night. - When getting up, be sure to roll to your side, then push up with your hands, to avoid straining your back or ab muscles. In general, avoid sudden or straining movements as they would cause muscle cramps and interrupt my sleep more severely. - When shifting positions, open your legs to switch to your back, then straighten your lower leg to roll to the other side (whichever will be lower is straight). - In addition to sleeping with pillows between your knees and ankles, stagger your legs so you don't have too much pressure on one side (this was really helpful when I started to develop nerve pain in the groin when the baby descended).

Ban electronic devices from your bedroom.... *looks up from bed were she is watching the video on the TV, to the right, where the tablet lays to her hands holding a smart phone. Thinks...* Girl, you def messed this one up 😇

😅😅😅 This is probably what most people do nowadays.... 😅

I find it hard to breathe even sidelying. On my left while in third trimester, So I drape my right arm along the bolster that is supporting my back. This slight opening of upper body and support of right shoulder helps me breathe , and is not yet back lying

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

Hi there 😊, thanks a lot for sharing this with us! We are sure that other women will also find it difficult to breathe when they lie on their sides. So this can be very helpful for them! 😊 We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️

[@MsLettertube]

I switch 80 thousands times at night and I have holds of pillows. I can't sleep on my back, I can't breath... I have at times slept on my stomach a few times.. My daughter keeps me up and the heart burn is unbearable... I eat tums like candy...

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

I have a lot of back legs shoulder pain etc..and not able to sleep properly, so I use the electric heating pad while sleeping....so will this have some negative effects??

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

Hi there 😊, the findings of scientific studies are quite mixed when it comes to that. Therefore, we cannot really say for sure, if it could have a negative effect. Personally though, we WOULD stay away from an electric heating pad because of the magnetic field that it creates (given that it is plugged into a socket). (And also because it was shown that many people seem to be more sensible to electromagnetic fields than others...) We hope this helps! 😊 We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️

[@superlady9208]

Wooooow thank you very much

[@dianagoodwin2560]

When the baby is facing ur back u can't feel any movement is that true.

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

Hi there Diana 😊, no that's actually not true. We WANT the baby to face mommy's back because it's the best position for labor. But in that position you are still gonna feel your baby. If you don't feel your baby move, the first thing you should do is talk with your doctor... We hope this helps! 😊 We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️

[@hawamassaley5307]

Wow you just speak my life.

[@odumaonyekachi3464]

Anytime I place pillow in between my leg I always feel some pains by my right Abdomen

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

Hi there 😘, that very much depends on the position of your baby! Have you tried lying on your other side to see if you experience the same pain?

[@sidrazareen8104]

Yes. Same happend with me.

[@siduraja8051]

Hy i want to ask you a question that i feel so much cramp on my legs and feet i feel wait and pressure on my feet thats common i think but can you guide me any tip due to which i can get a relief from this pain

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

Hi there 😘, unfortunately, we know so many pregnant women with the same problem. In most cases, it comes from the additional weight from the pregnancy. It is a big burden for the body... That said, we still recommend talking with a doctor about it. In very very rare cases, it can be the result of more severe circulatory problems. So, it's always a good idea to talk to a doctor too... Still, as we said, in most cases, this is only the result of the pregnancy... In order to relieve the pain, exercising is the most important thing to do because it helps with the blood circulation. Moreover, you can try taking a bath with epsom salt... We hope this helps! 😊 We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️

I use a spikey massage ball that I stand on on the soles of my feet to relieve tension in the fascia which also benefits tension in the lower legs.

[@melmelly1553]

When should I worried about sleeping on my back

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

Hi there Mel 😊, in general, it is not recommended to sleep on your back when you are pregnant. That's because the weight of your baby will press on your vena cava which is involved in the oxygen supply to the baby. In other words, you might cut off the oxygen supply to your baby. So, if you want to sleep on your back, you should elevate your back so that there is an angle of some 45 degrees. In that case, the baby presses on longer on your veins... We hope this helps! 😊 We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️

[@ShavinOmondi]

What if you drink cold water alot

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

This is unlikely to be a reason for bad sleep 😊

[@royaltyadunni348]

Please ma'am How do I sleep at 9 weeks?

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

Hi there 😘, do you mean position-wise? Or can you not sleep at all?

[@irenechebet5727]

Position wise please am 14 weeks gone

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

@@irenechebet5727 Okay, can we ask you if you still experience any pain now after 14 weeks? And if so, what kind of delivery did you have?

[@royaltyadunni348]

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

@@royaltyadunni348 Okay. Do you still experience pain at this stage?

What is the position of placenta’posterior large’??

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

Hi there 😊, basically, a posterior placenta just means that the placenta has attached at the back of the uterus. Don't worry about it! It's totally normal. What the addition "large" means is something unfortunately we cannot tell you. If it refers to your placenta, it could mean that your placenta is enlarged. But in that case, your doctor would have talked about it. Did they not mention anything?

[@stephaniem8278]

Placenta position will not affect your sleep. But from what I've heard having a posterior placenta is really good because your baby is more likely to be facing your back!

[@KM-ue9hh]

My baby kicks a lot at night and keeps me up at night. Any tips on that??

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

Hi there 😊, unfortunately, there is nothing that you can do about that! 😊 The reason why this happens is that during the day, you are constantly on the move. This produces those nice rocking sensations for your baby. And babies like that - and then they fall asleep. But in the night, you just lie there, so no rocking sensations. And this is when babies get active! So, keep rocking! 😊 We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️

My bby always kick on my left womb

[@MarryAsenga-de7em]

It's God's for my baby?

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

Hi there 😊, yeah, they do that sometimes! It all depends on baby's position in your womb. But that position is likely to change as your pregnancy progresses... So, don't worry too much about it! 😊 We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️

[@MarryAsenga-de7em]

Thanks to you all i was worried about my baby

[@MarryAsenga-de7em]

Also a have this kind of problem ihave been having discharged like yellow is that's bad to my baby

[@CareAboutLittleOnes]

@@MarryAsenga-de7em It depends on the stage of your pregnancy. In order to be on the safe side, we recommend talking with your midwife about it! But normally, such discharge is not a reason to worry.... ;-)
