I am a pregnant mother in the third trimester, and I can't sleep well at night. Let's talk about my real feelings from the early pregnancy to the late pregnancy.
1. In the first trimester, 1 ~ 12 weeks is particularly serious, especially at night, which is much more serious than during the day. Because of morning sickness, I can't eat much, so I feel hungry, dizzy and queasy when I sleep at night, and my sleep quality is very poor all night.
2. 13 weeks, morning sickness disappears, and I can eat and drink, and my mood is much better. However, due to the influence of hormones during pregnancy, I often go to the toilet at night, and I have to get up five or six times a night, which is very torturous and basically can't sleep well.
3. Now in the third trimester, the frequency of urination is slightly better. I get up once a day, and my stomach is big, so I can only sleep on my side. Lying flat is afraid of the child's lack of oxygen, and he can't sleep well at night every day.
These are my personal real feelings. I don't know if you are the same!
I can't sleep when I'm pregnant. When I was a mother, it was not easy to cheer up.
Insomnia during pregnancy is an extremely common condition. Although it is not a big problem, it does plague the majority of expectant mothers. Some expectant mothers even need medication to solve it, so why do they suffer from insomnia during pregnancy? How to alleviate it?
First, the reasons for insomnia during pregnancy: Due to different constitutions, expectant mothers have different symptoms during pregnancy. Some may have difficulty sleeping, while others may have shallow sleep and many dreams. Generally speaking, the reasons for this situation are as follows:
1, hormonal changes:
It may be that expectant mothers will feel this way during pregnancy: they will often get angry because of a little thing, and their ability to withstand pressure will be reduced. Coupled with worrying about the fetus in the abdomen, it is easy to cause emotional instability. The reason for this is that during pregnancy, women's hormones have undergone tremendous changes during pregnancy. Insomnia may also be caused by hormonal changes.
2. Changes in diet:
After pregnancy, the expectant mother's diet will change significantly compared with that before pregnancy. Some eating habits will affect sleep. If some expectant mothers eat too much before going to bed, it is likely to affect gastrointestinal function. I'm not feeling well, so I can't sleep well naturally.
If you eat coffee, tea, fried food, etc. This meal before going to bed will also change the secretion of hormones in the body, leading to physical discomfort and insomnia.
3. Severe early pregnancy reaction:
Early pregnancy reaction is another important factor leading to insomnia during pregnancy, such as cramps and increased urination, which will greatly affect the sleep quality of expectant mothers.
Second, what are the manifestations of insomnia during pregnancy: Since there are many reasons for insomnia during pregnancy, what are the usual manifestations of insomnia for expectant mothers?
1, difficult to sleep: lying in bed, tossing and turning just can't sleep.
2, especially easy to wake up, whether it is sleeping at night or taking a nap, it is particularly easy to wake up, in many cases because of dreaming, and some even have nightmares.
3, particularly tired: because there is no good rest, expectant mothers are particularly tired during the day and feel unwell.
Third, how to relieve insomnia during pregnancy: 1, eat some carbohydrates before going to bed:
As we all know, good sleep quality is closely related to poor sleep and melanin removal. To some extent, the secretion of melatonin is influenced by serotonin. And carbohydrates can promote the secretion of serotonin. It is recommended that expectant mothers drink a small bowl of millet porridge before going to bed. Be careful not to eat too much, so as not to increase the burden on the stomach and affect sleep.
Try not to look at anything before going to bed.
If you selectively read some publications or electronic products before going to bed, it will affect your nerves to some extent and let you work. It is suggested that you can listen to soothing music one hour before going to bed to relax your nerves.
3, you can gently massage the sides of the head.
If you find it difficult to sleep, you can massage your head with your thumb to relax your nerves. It is recommended to massage 15~30 seconds each time.
4. Try to breathe with your stomach
Traditionally, our breathing is always used to the chest. Expectant mothers can try to change abdominal breathing, which is what we call deep breathing every day. Call once every four seconds and suck once every four seconds.
5. Don't sleep too long:
Some expectant mothers always feel that more rest is beneficial to their baby's development. In fact, if they sleep too long, it will also affect the quality of sleep. It is recommended to have six hours of high-quality sleep instead of blind sleep, which is more likely to cause headaches.
Insomnia during pregnancy is indeed a very painful thing, but expectant mothers should try their best to adjust themselves, especially to relax. If insomnia is particularly serious, you should see a doctor if necessary.
I wonder if my answer can solve your problem. If you have any questions, please leave a message and your message will be answered.
I have been a night owl since I got pregnant.
Yes, it was difficult for my wife to fall asleep when she was just pregnant. Later, she also consulted relevant doctors and friends and looked at it online. This is also normal.
Generally speaking, the reasons for insomnia are as follows:
In order to avoid the lack of sleep for pregnant mothers, we also advanced the usual sleep time. Young people usually go to bed late. After pregnancy, basically go to bed before 10, and start preparing after 9: 00. Methods to promote sleep are similar, such as:
Many times pregnant women need to talk to their husbands to relax before going to bed. I am also a treasure dad, so I suggest that the husbands who are the initiators be patient and careful.
I hope the above can help you.
If you can't sleep in the early stage, you will feel sick when you lie down, and you will feel sick when you lie down in the later stage. I almost sat and slept during the whole pregnancy, feeling that my stomach and throat were like an uncovered bottle, which would spill when I put it down. Those days disappeared completely after unloading the goods. My happiest thing is to have a good sleep after giving birth!
There are still three months after pregnancy, because the baby is big. If a baby is lying on the left, this is ok. Twins are harder to cry on your left. Both babies are on the left. They are heavy, and the right side is afraid of danger. Sometimes you can only sit and sleep for a while. In short, pregnant women are very hard and great. I hope that men will take care of their wives to warm and ease the hearts of pregnant women. [praying]
I couldn't sleep for the first two months. I didn't dare to sleep at noon I stayed up at night. As a result, I basically got up around 3 am. During that time, my blood pressure was not good, and it was always high. The doctor said to go home and force yourself to sleep. After listening to the doctor, I forced myself to sleep, and it will be fine in two weeks. Being awake for a long time at night is not good for your baby's development. You'd better go to the hospital for a checkup.
First of all, thank you for your question and answer!
There are too many such mothers, and I am one of them. I still want to sleep every night, usually after nine o'clock, but at one or two in the middle of the night, I can't sleep at all, sometimes until dawn. I usually catch up on sleep during the day. If I can't sleep well at night, I'd better take a nap during the day.
1, some pregnant mothers basically have a good baby at home after pregnancy. Eat and sleep all day, and seldom exercise. I sleep a lot during the day, so I can't sleep at night. Therefore, pregnant mothers can walk with friends during the day and get together to chat, so that their physical strength is exhausted and they are more likely to fall asleep at night.
Although electronic products are not good for the development of pregnant mothers and fetuses, pregnant mothers are still inseparable. I also want to play with my mobile phone before going to bed at night, even until midnight. The more you play, the more excited you are, and naturally you can't sleep. It is suggested that pregnant mothers should lie in bed even if they can't sleep, close their eyes and listen to music, so that drowsiness will come soon.
Many pregnant mothers are used to drinking a cup of coffee every day for work reasons before pregnancy. After pregnancy, this habit cannot be changed immediately. But coffee contains caffeine, which is easy to make people excited and insomnia. It will also make the fetus in the abdomen in an excited state, which is not conducive to the baby's growth and development. Therefore, expectant mothers can use fruit juice or nutrition porridge instead of coffee during pregnancy, which is beneficial to the sleep of pregnant mothers and helps to supplement the nutrition needed for fetal growth and development.
Nowadays, young people are used to the life of staying up late and getting up late. The habit of staying up late and getting up late, which is usually developed, continues after pregnancy. For the health of the fetus, pregnant mothers should form the habit of going to bed early and getting up early. Once the biological clock is formed, the quality of sleep will be improved.
