Amidst the joy of discovering you’re pregnant comes the
reality that life will never be the same again. And as you begin this epic
journey, take note; sleep will become a precious commodity!
And we’re not just talking about after the baby is born. As
your baby bump grows, you’ll probably find it increasingly hard to get
comfortable at night.
Here are some tips to help you get a good night’s sleep.
Disturbed sleep when you’re pregnant is caused by manyfactors, including anxiety, hormones, physical discomfort and, most common of
all, a constant urge to go to the bathroom.
Your body is already anxious so filling it with caffeine and
spicy foods will only make matters worse. Restrict tea, coffee, chocolate, and
fizzy drinks to just one or two a day, and only in the morning.
Pregnancy changes your entire metabolism so whereas once youcould eat chili, curry, and other spicy dishes with no side effects, you mayhave to forego them for a while.
Pregnancy can make you very prone to indigestion and
heartburn. If this is the case, try eating lighter meals, and allow yourself
two to three hours to digest before going to bed.
