They say that during pregnancy, the future mother must sleep in advance, because after the birth, this opportunity will not be presented to her soon. But how to be, if insomnia became a true companion of a pregnant woman? After all, jokes are jokes, but now she needs quality rest more than ever. What to do in such situations, and what are the reasons for the appearance of insomnia during pregnancy in later terms, let's try to figure it out.
Causes of insomnia during pregnancy in late life
Paradoxically, but the fact: in the last months of pregnancy, there are all conditions for the already already exhausted woman, completely lost calm sleep. And the point here is not just nervous tension, although particularly susceptible women suffer from insomnia during pregnancy in the third trimester precisely for this reason. In general, women with a large tummy can not fully rest, because of physiological changes. Or rather, insomnia in the last weeks of pregnancy can be caused:
- pain in the lower back;
- night wakefulness of the fetus;
- the inability to find a comfortable pose for sleep ;
- shortness of breath;
- heartburn;
- frequent visits to the toilet;
- convulsions;
- nightmares.
Any of these reasons clearly does not contribute to a calm and sound sleep, and to imagine the state of a woman who was not fortunate enough to experience all these "delights" in the complex is even scary.
Treatment of insomnia during pregnancy in the third trimester
Doctors categorically forbid pregnant women from taking sleeping pills, therefore, as such, the treatment of insomnia in the last weeks of pregnancy does not exist. To regain a good mood and quiet sleep, it is necessary to understand the causes of what is happening. For example, to find a comfortable pose for relaxation will help a pillow for pregnant women, low back pain and cramps eliminate an easy relaxing massage. If you refuse a cup of tea before bed, you can reduce the number of night trips to the restroom. Tranquility and tranquility return after a frank conversation with a loved one. But excessive fetal activity and dyspnea may appear as a result of oxygen starvation, this should be reported urgently to the doctor.
