Finding a comfortable sleeping position while pregnant can be a chore, especially for new moms-to-be. Fortunately, there are some simple tricks you can try to help keep yourself, and baby, relaxed for a good night’s sleep.

  • Skip late night-snacks: Do your best not to eat anything less than two hours before you want to go to bed. Eating too soon to your bedtime can cause reflux or heartburn, which will keep you awake and uncomfortable.
  • Sleep on your left side: Sleeping on your side while pregnant reduces pressure on your uterus and spine. Not only will you breathe better, but the American Pregnancy Association states that sleeping on your left side can increase the amount of blood flow and nutrients that go to the baby.
  • Support your body: Firm body pillows can be your best friend. Use it to prop your head and upper body to alleviate pressure on your diaphragm. Using a body pillow also helps to support your stomach and reduce the uncomfortable impact gravity can have.
  • Invest in a comfortable sleeping bra: Keeping your breasts supported while you sleep can help alleviate any swelling and soreness that occurs during pregnancy. The Bravity® no-cup sleep bra not only provides comfortable support but also helps reduce and prevent cleavage wrinkles from forming while you sleep.
