A restless mind, an active baby and a body that won’t get comfortable — pregnancy sleep can be frustratingly elusive, just when you need rest most.
Here are the gentle natural sleep options many expectant mums consider, always alongside your midwife’s guidance.
Why sleep gets harder in pregnancy
Pregnancy brings discomfort, a busy mind and hormonal shifts that all disturb sleep.
- Physical discomfort, a growing bump making it hard to get comfy.
- A busy mind, excitement and worry keeping you alert.
- Hormonal shifts, changes that fragment sleep.
The short version: pregnancy disrupts sleep with discomfort and a busy mind, and gentle midwife-approved support can help.
