As you are just about comfortable with your pregnancy by the end of 6th month, the 7th month brings new problems. Along with a belly that keeps growing, you will also have to worry about leg cramps, backpain, pressure on bladder, congestion etc. And because of all these, you will end up having unclear dreams, and basically trouble sleeping.

pregnancy.ygoy.com presents you with tips on how to take care of your sleep during such time:

1. Sleep to your side: Sleeping to left gives optimal blood flow to your uterus, and also body. However, there is no book that says you shouldn’t sleep to right, if you are comfortable with it.

2. Using a Body Pillow: Available in market as Maternity Pillows, these pillows aim at decreasing the pressure of your growing belly. Your legs, hips and your body can be in a comfortable position to sleep using such pillows.

3. Sleep with an Empty Bladder: Frequent Urination, especially during nights can be a cause of your sleep problems as well. Decrease the intake of water from 05.00 pm. Also everytime you go to the bathroom, empty your bladder fully. Do this even though it will take more than normal time. It helps.

4. Warm Bath/Warm Milk: Warm Bath & Warm Milk will give you sleep easily. Make sure you do take both continuously. You will soon realize that the same principle can be applied even to your baby (soon).

5. Stretch: Stretching exercises help you a lot in decreasing your stress. Keep yourself cool, but do not forget to use all your joints and rub your muscles. It helps to distress, and avoids leg cramps.

Waking you up midnight, is probably mother nature’s way of giving you practice for what’s going to come after pregnancy. But sleep is more than a wonderful way of relaxing and preparing yourself for the days to come. So try and find ways to increase sleep during nights. Who knows, if you can sleep well during nights, it might help your baby in the future as well (Probably this can also be Nature’s magic – ditto like Motherhood!)
