Sleep during pregnancy

at Mammashop Mammazine on Sep 14, 2018

Most women will experience being pregnant at one or more points in their lives. Bringing a human being, your own child, into the world is an indescribably fantastic feeling. However, the path to that point is not always completely pain-free; for some, it is worse than for others.

Pregnant or not, sleep is an incredibly important thing. Many experience, especially during pregnancy, that sleep can be disturbed. It can be restlessness in the legs, a little soccer player in the belly, or the need to urinate more often. And then it can be quite a science to find the right sleeping position for both the pregnant woman and the baby in the belly. We often think of Sid from Ice Age; do you remember him? If not, take a joyful reunion with him and his way of falling asleep right here

But why is sleep so important during pregnancy? Not only do you feel more comfortable and have more energy, but it is actually proven that good sleep reduces the risk of birth complications – something we all hope to avoid! So what can you do to get a good night's sleep? The options are many and Better Nights has listed things like plenty of fluids, warm baths, and relaxation exercises, and last but not least; pregnancy pillows.

Pregnancy Pillows

Pregnancy pillows help you find the right sleeping position and relieve the areas that make it easier to achieve a longer-lasting relaxed sleep. Not only are they beneficial through the night, but most pregnancy pillows can be folded and adjusted in many different ways, so you can also use them in everyday life; for example, when you need to lie on your stomach. And then you might be thinking; what happens after the 9 months and the baby has said hello to the world? Many pregnancy pillows are actually also useful afterwards, as they continue to help relieve the body and provide better sleep, and many pregnancy pillows can also be used as a nursing pillow. Smart, right?
