Like many pregnant women, Amy Westervelt experiences insomnia. Here, she shares her tips for beating the bedtime blues
One of the great injustices of pregnancy – and there are many – is the impact that little human has on your ability to sleep, even before they’re waking you up for night feedings. Pregnancy makes most women tired, particularly in the first and third trimesters, but it also brings with it insomnia in various forms.
Some women just find themselves wide awake as soon as they hit the pillow, others feel compelled to nap during the day and toss and turn at night; most, however, are kept up by the physical discomforts of pregnancy: heartburn, back pain and trying to find a position that doesn’t feel like you’ve got a bowling ball strapped to the front of you. And then there’s the “it’s coming soon” insomnia that so many get a week to a few days before they go into labor.
