Enjoy your sleep during pregnancy
Knowing that you are carrying your own little person is the best feeling you have ever had. During pregnancy, the quality and quantity of sleep are changing. Well, this is the perfect time to invest in the best mattress for you.
Being pregnant is a wonderful feeling. Especially if it is the first. Perhaps no one has told you that sleeping will get more and more difficult every day. Frequent need to go to the bathroom, not finding a suitable position to sleep, having insomnia and much more are difficulties that expectant mothers face. Today comprehensive guides are written for expectant moms. Generally, there are some tips to follow.
The most important thing is to invest in a quality mattress. A high-quality mattress means providing support and comfort to your body during sleep. Choose from a pocket spring mattress, memory foam or latex mattress. They are considered the best among pregnant women because they offer the greatest comfort. Don’t forget that you will also be using the mattress like a busy mom.
Many future mothers complain of back pain. In the first trimester, you will be able to sleep on your stomach. Later it will not be possible due to the growth of the belly. Forget about sleeping on your back too. Its weight presses on the spine, causing back pain and other problems. After week 16, doctors recommend sleeping on your side, especially on the left side. This will improve blood flow to the hearts, uterus, and kidneys, allowing the baby to grow. Finding a suitable sleeping position is no less important than finding the right mattress.
Get comfortable with pillows for extra support for your abdomen and back. You can find special pregnancy pillows on the market these days. But ordinary pillows work too. Put a pillow under your belly or between your knees to take some pressure off. If you have heartburn, put a pillow under your head. If you have trouble breathing, put a pillow under your chest.
Exercise and proper nutrition during pregnancy are important for both mother and fetus. Walking, swimming, yoga, and Pilates will help you sleep better. Do what makes you happy. This also positively affects your mind and mood. Avoid spicy and greasy foods; eat more vegetables and fruits. Replace caffeine with plenty of water. Your body will thank you.
