During pregnancy, in addition to a balanced diet, high-quality sleep is particularly important for pregnant women. However, due to physical and psychological changes that occur after pregnancy, it is easy for pregnant women to feel uncomfortable or even affect their sleep. So, what should be done if they cannot sleep during pregnancy?
During pregnancy, if you can't sleep, you can read books and listen to soothing music. Don't force yourself to sleep. Maintaining a relaxed and peaceful mood is not only beneficial for fetal development, but also helps improve sleep quality. Under the influence of pregnancy hormones, pregnant women not only experience frequent urination and urgency physically, but also become emotionally unstable. When pregnant women feel nervous and anxious, it can seriously affect their sleep quality. Therefore, the following methods can be used to improve:
1. Appropriately increase the height of the pillow, or use a pillow to support the abdomen and back. Placing a pillow between the legs can support the sunken back and help fall asleep.
2. Taking a comfortable hot bath or soaking your feet before going to bed can relax your body, prevent cramps, and help you fall asleep quickly.
3. Do not drink tea or eat difficult to digest foods before bedtime to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort affecting sleep. You can drink a glass of milk with a little honey.
4. Some women become mentally exhausted after pregnancy and spend most of their day sleeping. Sleeping too much during the day can easily lead to insomnia at night, so pregnant mothers should find other things during the day to relieve drowsiness.
