In the first months of pregnancy, there is often a tendency
to sleep and the expectant mother does not have sleep problems. But in the
coming months and especially in the last months, there are problems of not
being able to sleep comfortably and adequately for various reasons.
Reasons:
- frequent urination at night
- Not being able to lie in a comfortable position on the bed
due to excessive tummy growth
- Cramping in the legs at night
- Pain in the back and legs in the legs
- Shortness of breath
- Hot water coming into the mouth when lying down
The expectant mother may have difficulties due to the change
of her body shape in the position she is accustomed to sleep before pregnancy.
It is not recommended to lie on your back during pregnancy, it is recommended
to lie on the left side of the mother. Due to the excessive growth of the
abdomen in recent months, the mother may have difficulty in these positions,
but for the health of the baby, it is appropriate to lie on the left side. Turning
to the left side, the pressure on the vessels decreases and more blood flows to
the baby. You will be more comfortable if you bend your legs while lying on the
left side and put a pillow between them. Side lying position will also reduce
shortness of breath. Special "pregnancy pillows" are produced in the
side position to make the mother comfortable. In the first months of pregnancy,
it can be lying in any position, including the back, and there is no harm.
While sleeping, it is necessary to avoid lying on your back
and on the abdomen. The supine position causes problems with shortness of
breath, hemorrhoids, water in the mouth, and reduces blood flow to the baby.
The position of lying on the abdomen can be harmful as it will put pressure on
the abdomen and will cause discomfort due to the enlargement of the abdomen.
What can be done to reduce sleep problems during pregnancy,
except the right sleeping position? Taking a hot shower before going to sleep
in the evening can help bring your sleep. You should avoid drinking too much
tea or coffee in the evening. It may be helpful to drink warm milk before
bedtime. Take care to go to bed at the same time every day and get up at the
same time in the morning. Exercise or walking during the day is also beneficial
for sleep.
