Without the right amount of sleep during pregnancy, you\u2019d feel distracted, won\u2019t be able to think, tired, and won\u2019t be able to keep your emotions under control. Adding on to this, you\u2019d have health problems, which may not even positively impact your baby inside you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, those peaceful \u201czzz\u201d at night are a far-off dream for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you feeling scared reading this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t be worried!\u00a0Yes! You might require a nice, long, peaceful slumber, just as has been mentioned above. But we will tell you how you can plan to get that long hour of sleep during pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-long-can-you-sleep-during-the-first-trimester\">How Long Can You Sleep During the First Trimester?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the first trimester, you would set sail on your journey of motherhood by undergoing a sea of emotional and physical changes. No doubt you\u2019re in a state of constant hormonal flux at this stage. Due to this, you might be faced with challenges like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cordlifeindia.com\/blog\/phases-of-morning-sickness\/\">morning sickness<\/a>, breast tenderness, feeling the urge to visit the washroom quite often, etc., thus making it harder for you to catch some peaceful sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>So, schedule a time to nap in the afternoon. According to a study in 2018, it has been found that regular short naps only for 10 to 30 minutes can help.<\/li><li>Try to avoid having large meals before you go to bed, as you might feel sick with heartburn in the middle of the night in your already nauseous state.<\/li><li>Getting a prenatal massage from an expert is blissful.<\/li><li>Along with this doing some moderate-level exercise and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cordlifeindia.com\/blog\/prenatal-yoga-poses\/\">practising yoga<\/a> asanas is advisable to you. Butterfly pose and cat stretch pose, for instance, is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/pregnancy\/related-conditions\/common-symptoms\/tiredness\/\">beneficial for you to sleep in the first trimester<\/a>. You may also try mindfulness to improve the quality of your sleep. So, when you\u2019re meditating, close your eyes and practice imagining anything that you like. For instance, imagine you\u2019re sitting by the seaside watching a beautiful sunset in the evening.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Isn\u2019t That a Creative Plan to Sleep During the First Trimester?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, 6 hours should be sufficient for you during this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, by the time you enter the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cordlifeindia.com\/blog\/pregnancy-second-trimester\/\">second trimester of your pregnancy<\/a>, the fog of your first trimester has already gone by. Although you will feel more energetic, don\u2019t let your energy get in the habit of your slumber. But, try and get as much sleep as possible during this time, and remember to sleep on your left side as it will allow the blood flow to reach smoothly to the foetus as well as the kidneys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-long-can-you-sleep-during-the-third-trimester\">How Long Can You Sleep During the Third Trimester?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you\u2019re at the last part of your pregnancy remember that this is the toughest part to let go of. You may be doing anything, even if you\u2019re taking the bed; you might be feeling uncomfortable because of your expanded mummy tummy. Moreover, while you\u2019re lying down and are looking for a comfortable position in bed for you to sleep, you might be suffering from back pain, thus disrupting your sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, to get a proper 8 hours of sleep in the third trimester, you\u2019ll have to keep these tips in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Get a soft and supportive mattress to fall asleep faster, and relax as much as possible at night.<\/li><li>Grab a book just half an hour before you go to sleep.<\/li><li>Listen to some soft music before you go to sleep.<\/li><li>Ensure that your room is conducive to sleep. It should be dark as well as cool.<\/li><li>Get a comfy pregnancy pillow that supports your back, hips, shoulders, head as well as legs.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"are-you-feeling-sleepy\">Are You Feeling Sleepy?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although using the above-mentioned tips you might dose off easily, remember not to sleep excessively. By sleeping excessively or more than 9 hours, you\u2019ll experience hormonal changes, restless leg syndrome, etc.&nbsp;While you\u2019re getting proper and peaceful sleep, don\u2019t forget to plan for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cordlifeindia.com\/why-save-cord-blood\">cord blood banking<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Table of Contents How Long Can You Sleep During the First Trimester?
