5 Amazing Tips for Better Sleep During Pregnancy with Babymum
Pregnancy can be an exciting journey, but it also comes with its fair share of challenges. One of the most common struggles for expectant mothers in India is getting a good night’s sleep. With a growing belly and changing body, finding the right position can be difficult, especially during the second and third trimesters.
If you’re one of the many pregnant women in India dealing with sleepless nights, don’t worry—you're not alone! In fact, studies show that over 60% of pregnant women experience insomnia, making it a common issue. Lack of sleep not only impacts your health but also affects your baby’s development. Getting proper rest is essential to boost your immune system and prevent complications like preterm delivery and heart problems.
At Babymum, we understand the importance of sleep during pregnancy, which is why we’ve compiled five effective sleep tips to help you rest better and feel more refreshed, every night.
1. Minimize Distractions in the Bedroom
Creating the right environment for sleep is crucial during pregnancy. To help your mind and body wind down, establish a relaxing bedtime routine. Avoid turning on your phone, checking social media, or watching TV before bed. These devices emit blue light that interferes with your body’s natural sleep cycle. Instead, try activities like reading a book, listening to soothing music, or practicing deep breathing. This will help signal to your brain that it’s time to sleep.
2. Limit Drinks Before Bed
Pregnancy often leads to frequent trips to the bathroom, especially in the second and third trimesters. To avoid waking up multiple times during the night, make sure to visit the bathroom before you head to bed and avoid drinking too much water before sleeping. While you should still stay hydrated during the day, cutting back on fluids at night can help prevent disruptions to your sleep.
3. Use Mum’s Maternity Pillow
Finding a comfortable sleeping position can be a challenge as your belly grows. That’s where Mum’s Maternity Pillow comes in. This specially designed pillow provides extra support for your changing body, easing aches and discomforts, and helping you sleep more comfortably. With its ergonomic shape, Mum’s Maternity Pillow supports your belly, back, and legs, encouraging proper alignment and improving circulation while you sleep. Say goodbye to restless nights and hello to better, longer sleep!
4. Avoid Heavy Meals Before Bed
Many pregnant women in India experience heartburn, particularly during the later stages of pregnancy. As your baby grows, they push up against your abdomen, causing discomfort, especially when lying down. To prevent heartburn, avoid heavy meals, spicy, or greasy foods in the evening. It’s recommended to eat smaller meals throughout the day and have your dinner 2–3 hours before bedtime. Additionally, elevating your head while you sleep can help reduce the chances of heartburn.
5. Stay Physically Active
Exercise is essential during pregnancy and can have a positive impact on your sleep. Staying active helps prevent complications such as gestational diabetes and high blood pressure, and it promotes overall well-being. It also aids in reducing stress and fatigue, which can improve sleep quality. Aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity daily—whether it’s walking, swimming, prenatal yoga, or dancing. Be sure to consult your doctor before starting any new exercise routine.
