Sleep and Pregnancy: Why is it so Hard?

It is a small comfort to know that you are not alone when it comes to sleep problems during your pregnancy, it certainly doesn’t help you sleep better.

Getting a proper night’s sleep becomes a very real challenge for pregnant women for the following reasons.

Side sleeping is hard. As your belly gets bigger and bigger, sleeping on your side really does become the only option and this might be hard for those women who have favoured sleeping on their stomach or back.

There is a lot to worry about. While pregnancy is an incredible time, it is also a time of much worry for many expectant moms. Anxiety about labour, money, time and more keeps many women up at night.

You need to wee (all the time). This is a problem in general especially as your baby grows bigger in your belly. It can definitely also affect the quantity of sleep you are getting.

Heartburn is very real. Many women struggle with pregnancy induced heartburn and this many get worse as your baby gets bigger.

You might start snoring. The reason for this is a combination of congestion caused by your pregnancy hormones and the extra weight your body is carrying.

Tips To Get a Good Night’s Sleep While Pregnant

Now we know what causes the lack of sleep while pregnant, what are some of the things you can do that will help you get a solid 8-hours every night (or at least most nights).

  • Eat earlier. If your growing belly is too full it will affect the type of sleep you are getting. Try to eat early in the evening so that you don’t go to bed with a super-full stomach.
  • Ditch the sugary foods and coffee. While both of these things are delicious they can impact on your sleep by making you jittery and more alert than sleepy.
  • Start a relaxing, calm bedtime routine. Light some candles, play some meditative music while you have a relaxing bath. Doing the same thing every night will help you to sleep better.
  • Make sure you are comfortable. Get a pregnancy pillow or new bed pillows, make sure the room is dark and cool (or warm). Create an environment that encourages sleep.
  • Try aromatherapy. Sleep on a lavender scented pillow or keep a sachet near your bed where you can smell it.
  • Chat to your doctor. If nothing is working and you are not getting enough sleep and are constantly exhausted, chat to your health care provider for help.
