Hi I have been trying to fall asleep and I can't because ill be to hot or to cold. I try and find a comfortable way to sleep but I'm used to sleeping on my stomach and I know that's a bad thing to do while pregnant so I don't. So is there anyway I can sleep comfortably?
Hi rollie, unfortunately herbal teas are not recommended during pregnancy, there are special body pillows you can buy that make a pregnant lady more comfortable during the night, and sleeping on the left side is said to be beneficial for sleep. Meditation also helps. Visit your library and get a book on Chakras to say for sleep.
Here are some tips I dug up for aiding sleep while pregnant:
1. Try aromatherapy - lavender oil is very soporific and safe to use during pregnancy. Try a few drops in your bath or on a tissue under your pillow.
2. Make sure the room is dark enough - fit black out blinds or try an eye mask.
3. Change the room temperature - some people find it easier to drop off to sleep in a cool room.
4. Sometimes getting up and doing something helps, rather than lying awake fretting about not being able to get to sleep.
5. Talk to someone - sometimes it helps to get your problems off your chest. Speaking to a friend or partner about your worries can help you to put things into perspective. A mind full of worries isn't conducive to good sleep.
6. The homeopathic remedy coffea has proved useful - talk to a qualified homeopathic doctor before you try this.
7. Eat more bananas! - In Thailand they are used as a cure for insomnia, they contain trytophan, which is a natural sleep aid.
8. Tonic water - apparently the quinnine it contains is useful for calming restless legs.
Thank you I will try some of these because I have been up all night and I'm really tired but I can't fall asleep
You are barely pregnant, under 6 WEEKS, so sleep however you want.
I went to the doctor and I'm 8 weeks pregnant so thank you very much and I was guessing before on how long it was so yea I don't know what to say so yea
Rollie, I suggest you level with everyone here, as your stories are getting more and more unrealistic.
What do mean level I'm bad with dates we have been having sex everyday how am I suppose to know when I conceived a baby you know what I don't need to explain myself to you thank you tickle for the advice
You only got out of treatment 4 weeks ago. How could you be 8 weeks pregnant?
