From the very beginning of pregnancy in the female body, the strongest changes are "raging", which cause an elevated level of hormones. Because of them, the woman's body is in constant tension, not having the opportunity for the slightest relaxation. This also applies to the psychological and physiological qualities of the future mother.
And whatever reasons prevented pregnant women from getting enough sleep at night, they definitely need to get rid of. After all, normal sleep in pregnant women is the key to normal growth of the baby. If, even before pregnancy, the expectant mother fell asleep with ease, then with the increase in the term of an interesting situation, the reasons for sleepless nights become more.
The reasons why pregnant women can not sleep well
The causes of poor sleep during pregnancy are of a psychological nature. For example, a constant nervous tension, especially in those who first expects a crumb. It is a fear that is constantly haunted, connected with future events. And also chronic fatigue, which does not give a normal sleep. To avoid such problems that persecute you, do not hide these fears of your loved ones. Try to share with them and ask questions: beloved man, elder sister, best friend. Better still with mom and grandmother. Do not hesitate to ask about your concerns with your doctor. Remember that reasonable answers will certainly calm you and you will understand that there are no special reasons for concern. In addition, it is necessary to arrange walking trips more often. Do not try to overwork yourself mentally and physically. But with the increase in gestation - physical activity can be increased if you do not have special pathologies.
But there are also physiological reasons that prevent a normal sleep of pregnant women. Normal sleep is not possible if the pregnant woman suffers from toxicosis. As the baby develops, the woman has increased volumes of the uterus and abdomen, and this makes it difficult to find a comfortable position for sleeping. In addition, the baby begins to become more active and also contributes to sleep disturbance. Many pregnant women may have pain in the lower back and in the back. Also, the uterus, increasing in size, presses more and more on the bladder, which leads to frequent urination at night. In addition, the uterus exerts pressure on the lungs, making breathing difficult and can cause shortness of breath. Many expectant mothers also interrupt their sleep due to cramps in the legs or suffer from the itching that appears from stretch marks in the abdomen. An important role for the obstruction of sleep, play a change in the digestive system in pregnant women - can often occur heartburn. But every mother should think about the baby and learn how to adapt to various changes.
What to do if you are sleepy during an interesting period
In this situation, the right decision for a woman will need to sleep, how much the body needs. The fact that everyone knows that lack of sleep harms the mother and the child. To do this, do not rush to go to bed early, but go along the street in the evening and enjoy the fresh air, so that further sleep is strong, since such a walk helps to quickly fall asleep. In addition, drink a glass of warm milk and take a shower. Sleep on a medium-hard bed and at least eight hours a day. Do not forget to ventilate before going to bed. Women who are at home during pregnancy can also rest during the day. It is harder for those who are at work. But by observing certain rules, they can tolerate a state of drowsiness more easily.
For example, if in the daytime more to be in the air, then you will not want to sleep less. In order to have enough time for night sleep, plan your daily routine carefully. The workplace should be sufficiently fresh air. Less are in too noisy companies and in places where smoking is allowed. Do not be too zealous at work - do more rest breaks.
I want to note that a normal dream for women who are expecting a child is simply necessary. Pregnant should not be shy to rest more. At the time of the pregnancy, taking care of one's own condition and health is the most important task for a woman.
