10 Tips That Will Help You Get A Better Sleep During Pregnancy

 

Sometimes it can be difficult to fall asleep and stay sleeping in the later months of your pregnancy as a result of all the different physical, emotional and hormonal changes. Many expecting mothers find themselves tossing and turning in bed due to:

 

  • Your belly is expanding, making it hard to find a good sleeping position
  • You can retain water and experience painful swelling
  • Frequent urination disrupts your sleep pattern
  • Heartburn, or leg cramps are causing discomfort
  • Hormonal changes are causing your temperature to change
  • Anxiety over the baby's health, finances or the birth make it difficult to relax
  • Excitement, planning and longing for the baby make it hard to calm the mind

 

Help combat these issues by establishing a good bedtime routine and these tips to help you relax, ease into sleep more easily and stay sleeping longer during your pregnancy with these

10 Ways To Get A Better Sleep: 

 

  1. Invest in comfortable bedding and proper pillows to support your body. This will help prevent tossing and turning.
  2. Relax or meditate. Take time to read a book, take a bath, practice yoga, craft or cook. Do anything that will relax your mind before bed.
  3. Exercise. Find an exercise program that is safe for your pregnancy or head out for a walk in the evening. It will help you feel more tired when you hit the pillow.
  4. Drink lots of water early in the day. If you are well hydrated your body won't have to work as hard to rejuvenate during the night.
  5. Cut back on your fluids after 6pm, to limit the frequent bathroom trips.
  6. Avoid stressful activities before bed. This includes conversations about planning, finances or anything that will stir up your thoughts.
  7. Avoid sugary or caffeinated food or drinks before bed.
  8. Try to keep a regular night time routine. Shower, put on clean pjs, massage in your moisturizer, brush your teeth. Feeling clean and fresh will keep you more comfortable. Your wind down routine will help your body get ready for rest.
  9. Limit naps (if you can). That way you are more likely to fall asleep faster at night.
  10. Early in your pregnancy get comfortable falling asleep in your side. That way by the time the bump grows you will be used to falling asleep that way.

 

We know your "to do" list is growing everyday, but getting plenty of sleep is so important during pregnancy and after baby arrives so we hope you can develop some healthy habits early in your pregnancy that will alleviate any sleep issues from forming later in your pregnancy. <3

    You can get your ex back and cure your infertility problems with Dr. Odunga

    When I met Dr. Odunga, my husband had divorced me because I was a barren woman of 41 and I have been married for 21 years. I was devastated and confused as a woman of my age until I went online to look for help on how to get my marriage back then I met Dr. Odunga. Within 48 hours of contacting him, my ex husband came back home and pleaded for me to forgive him and take him back after 5 months of divorce. I accepted him back and then I told Dr. Odunga of my bareness for him to help me. He did the spell for fertility and after 48 hours of completing it, my womb was fertile for conceiving. My husband got me pregnant and I gave birth to a baby girl. Presently, I am a mother of a beautiful baby girl and I am happy in my relationship. This is all thanks to Dr. Odunga and his wonderful work. Contact Dr. Odunga Via Whats-App number +2348167159012. Email at: odungaspelltemple@gmail.com

    It’s hurt when husband told you “I don’t need you in my life anymore.” My husband left me for another woman 3 months ago and ever since then my life have been filled with pains sorrow and heart break because he was my first love whom i have spent my entire life with. A friend of mine told me he saw some testimonies of a spell caster called Priest Salami that he can bring back lovers within some few days, i laugh it out and said i am not interested but because of the love my friend had for me, she consulted the great spell caster on my behalf and to my greatest surprise after 2 days my husband called me for the very first time after three months that he is missing me and that he is so sorry for every thing he made me went through. He came back to me and now we are happy together. I still can’t believe it, because it highly unbelievable. Thank you Priest Salami for bringing back my husband and also to my lovely friend who interceded on my behalf, for any one who might need the help of this great spell caster Here his contact.

    I got my ex husband back to me and also got fertile and gave birth to twin girls after 12 years of marriage.
    When I came online last year, I saw a testimony about Doctor Michael and how he has been helping people with marriage issues and I decided to contact him. We spoke on email at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and later he gave me his WhatsApp number which is +2348167159012. He assured me he would help me get my ex husband back after 3 years of no contact. Doctor Michael is the best spell caster I must say. My husband called me after 24 hours of contact. The third day, I received natural herbs for fertility and after using it, I became fertile and conceived. I and my husband reconnected, had sex and I was pregnant. Presently I am happy to say I am the mother of twin girls and this is ALL THANKS TO DOCTOR ODUNGA MICHAEL. I came online to say this: If you need help, I believe you are saved with this man.

    With so much in my heart I am here to express myself on how Priest Salami saved my marriage from divorce. Myself and my husband were having some misunderstanding and it was tearing our marriage apart to the extent my husband was seeking a divorce. So I have no option other than to go to the internet to seek a solution to my problem. It was there I came across Priest Salami details and about how he has helped a lot of people by restoring their relationship. I contacted Priest Salami and in less than 48 hours my husband cancelled the divorce papers. Now myself and my husband live together in peace and harmony all thanks to Priest Salami for saving my marriage from breaking up.
