How to Sleep Better During Pregnancy
Sleep can become harder to come by during pregnancy, especially as your belly grows and hormones shift. In your first trimester, fatigue might have you sleeping more than usual, but by the third trimester, discomfort, heartburn, and frequent bathroom trips can disrupt rest. Sleeping on your left side is generally recommended to improve circulation. Pregnancy pillows, calming bedtime routines, and light stretching can help you relax. Limit screen time before bed and avoid large meals late at night. Remember, it’s okay if sleep feels elusive—rest in small windows whenever you can, and don’t hesitate to ask for help when you need downtime.
