Insomnia, or the inability to fall or stay sleep, can hit especially hard in the third trimester of pregnancy, when it’s estimated to effect more than 75 percent of expectant moms.
1. Keep Your Belly Full: "Eating a protein-filled dinner will keep you full longer. If you do wake up, go make a snack and then try to go back to sleep." (Waterbabe2015)
2. Get Relaxed: "A warm shower (or an orgasm) puts sleepy hormones in your body." (Anatalia2011)
3. Sip Warm Milk: "I drink warm milk when I can't sleep at night. It's kinda gross but it works every time!" (KMutzey)
4. Add Lavender: "I put lavender and cedar wood in the diffuser and it always helps me go to sleep." (Rizzie07)
5. Hydrate Earlier in the Day: "Don't drink lots of water right before going to bed - try to hydrate earlier." (Waterbabe2015)
6. Try a Pregnancy Pillow: "I've been having a lot of trouble sleeping for the past few weeks and got myself a pregnancy pillow. This thing is heaven." (BBSTL)
