Healthy, full sleep is the basis for the normal functioning of the human body. It is especially important to pay proper attention to sleep when a woman is expecting a baby. Here are some simple rules to help you get ready for bed.
First, you need to try to completely abandon daytime sleep and replace it with activities that would be useful during pregnancy. A very good activity is a walk in the fresh air. You need to drink more water. Long-term warm baths can be harmful in some cases, so it is best to consult your doctor about taking them. But gynecologists recommend swimming in the pool.
In order for the sleep to be of good quality, you need not to overdo it with taking medications. Only "Glycine" is allowed as sedatives, the rest of the sleeping pills and sedatives are best not taken during pregnancy.
You also need to calm down before bed. Herbal tea will help. You can also drink a glass of warm milk with honey, freshly squeezed juices.
Eating at night is very harmful, this also applies to pregnant women. Make sure your dinner is as light as possible.
An important factor in a good rest for a pregnant woman is the sleeping room. An hour before bedtime, you need to ventilate the room, regardless of the weather.
A pregnant woman should have special pillows: one of them is placed under the neck, the second under the side, and the third takes place between the legs of the pregnant woman.
Aromatherapy will also be helpful. Sleepwear should be loose and preferably made from natural materials. You should not buy oversized pajamas and nightgowns, otherwise you can get confused.
By following these simple guidelines, a pregnant woman can enjoy a full, pleasant sleep throughout her pregnancy.
