Tips for NORMAL Sleep Problems in Pregnancy

1. Can't Get Comfortable: Try to create a sort of nest of pillows or find a body pillow that works for you, sleep on your left side.

2. Frequent Urination: Limit the amount you drink before bed and make sure you completely empty your bladder before laying down!

3. Heartburn/Indigestion: Avoid foods that trigger it, eat smaller meals more frequently, chew-chew-chew, don't eat a couple hours before bed, elevate your head when it is bothering you, talk to your doctor about it.

4. Insomnia: Don't just lay in your bed counting sheep to 1000- only lay there for up to 30 minutes, go do something calming and then try again, don't stress or worry about it- relax!, think about your bedtime routine each night.
