Sleeping Tips for the Pregnant Moms
0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung August 17th, 2008 in How to sleep better, SLEEP News, Sleep Issues.
During pregnancy, one discomfort that women may encounter would be the proper sleeping position. Traditionally we would all lay flat on our back to sleep well but with a bulging stomach that limits your bed movement, it would be best to stick to a sideway position that can be pretty much the best position for you and your unborn child.
For the pregnant moms who cannot sleep well, here are some tips offered by the American Pregnancy Association:
Try sleeping on your side — particularly your left side, if it’s comfortable. Bend your knees, and place a pillow between your knees. Also try a pillow under your belly, for support. If heartburn bothers you, prop up your upper body with pillows. If you feel short of breath, lie on your side or propped up with pillows. You should avoid sleeping on your back and on your stomach during pregnancy.
