Neha Marda Instagram – One of my biggest challenges in pregnancy was insomnia. Yes, many moms-to-be face trouble sleeping when growing a baby in their uterus . These tips can be used for general sleeping trouble too. 1. Cut out caffeinated drinks like soda, tea, coffee from your diet as much as possible, especially after evening. 2. Keep your phone away at least 30 mins before you go to bed. 3. Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time each day. 4. Avoid drinking a lot of fluids or eating a full meal just before going to bed If nausea keeps you up, try eating a few salted biscuits before you go to bed. 5. Avoid exercise right before you go to bed. Instead, do something relaxing, like reading a book or having a warm, caffeine-free drink. 6. Do light stretching of calf muscles before sleeping to keep leg cramps at bay. Also, make sure that you’re getting enough calcium and magnesium in your diet. 7. Take a yoga class or learn other relaxation techniques to help you unwind after a busy day. 8. If fear and anxiety about child birth keeps you awake, consider enrolling in a childbirth class or parenting class. Consider joining online pregnancy groups.The company of other pregnant women helps. 😴 What If you Still Can’t Sleep? 😴 Of course, there will be times when you just can’t sleep. Instead of tossing and turning, get up and do something calming, like read a book, listen to music, or browse a magazine, no gadgets though. Eventually, you’ll probably feel tired enough to get back to sleep. And if possible, take short naps (30-60 minutes) during the day. Naps can help you have energy to get through the day and give your body the rest it needs. Do share it with a pregnant woman, or on your stories. Save it if you are planning pregnancy.
