How To Sleep Better During Pregnancy

Pregnancy And Back Pain- Trying To Sleep?

Pregnancy is a special time for you to take care of your body and your baby. Sleep, relaxation and excellent support is very important at this time as your body goes through many changes.

It is vital that you and your baby bump are well supported in order for you to get a good nights sleep. However many women get back pain or sciatica during pregnancy which makes sleeping much more difficult.

You need to have enough support and comfort to give you the best chance of a good nights sleep.

**Always check with a qualified medical practitioner if you are experiencing back or sciatic pain.**

Some women try to manage with a range of pillows to support their head, neck, hips, and back during pregnancy. (You will see examples in a video below).Some people are OK with this approach but others are not.

I know having tried pillows that they are not always the right density or give enough support or maybe too bulky or too thin. They can and do slip and become uncomfortable. You may end up repacking them through the night, which can be disruptive to you and your partner. If you only require one pillow its not too bad, but when you need more support it gets more difficult.  

A full body support pillow can be a good choice to help you get physically more comfortable. There are a wide range available and essentially they take the place of using multiple pillows to support your back, hips, neck and bump. Yes they do take up room in the bed, but far less than a whole array of pillows.

How To Choose a Body Pillow.

The following video concentrates on the brand Comfort U MATERNITY Full Body Pillow. I thought it was interesting as it shows you the different ways you can make use of a body pillow. It does not have to be used just for sleeping. So some of the pillows can be used for a longer term functions.
