Sleeplessness

Home > Medical Issues  > Obstetrical  > Problems of Pregnancy  > General Symptoms > Sleeplessness

Late in pregnancy it can be very difficult to get a good night’s sleep. You’ re uncomfortable lying down, or just when you’re beginning to get comfortable you have to get up to go to the toilet. Some women have strange dreams or nightmares about the baby and about the birth. Talking about them can help you. Just because you dream something, it doesn’t mean it’s going to happen. Relaxation and breathing which are taught in antenatal classes might be helpful.

  • Drink warm milk before you go to bed. Warm milk releases tryptophane, a natural aminoacid which brings sleepiness.
  • Do not eat much before you go to bed. Eat earlier in the evening and have a snack before night sleep.
  • Have a warm relaxing bath before going to sleep.
  • Try to exercise regularly.
  • ​Use a comfortable matrix with many pillows. ​
