It is difficult to call the sleep of a future mother ideal, because there are a lot of factors that prevent pregnant women from getting enough sleep: a big belly, the urge to go to the toilet, heartburn, anxiety...

However, if you listen to a few simple tips, a pregnant woman will be able to fall asleep faster and sleep more soundly.

Remember the basic rules of sleep hygiene

In order to get a good night's sleep, try to ensure that the room temperature does not exceed +22 degrees, and the air humidity is at 50-60%.

Be sure to air out the room before going to bed, and also ensure darkness if you are preparing to fall into the arms of Morpheus.

Remove anything that interferes with sleep

Your smartphone, computer or TV shouldn't distract you if you have less than two hours left before bedtime.

In addition, three hours before bedtime, you should avoid heavy meals. If a pregnant woman suffers from heartburn, then you should avoid any food, not just heavy ones.

Finally, try to avoid drinking coffee, tea, cocoa and chocolate at night.

Optimize your drinking

While expecting a child, a woman should try to consume the daily fluid intake by the time of her last meal, so as not to suffer from frequent urges to go to the toilet at night. Another condition: exclude diuretics from your menu, including coffee, tea, sweet soda, some sugar substitutes, citrus and sour fruits and berries.
