Don't worry, child, this is a very common phase and it will pass once the baby arrives. My wife used to listen to soft music and read books to calm her mind. Just rest your body even if you cannot fall asleep fully.
I am also finding it so hard to sleep these days, just tossing and turning. Does keeping the room very cool help, or should I try warm milk before bed? Please let me know if anyone found a safe solution.
Haan, sleep blackouts are real during pregnancy, na! I used to avoid screens entirely after 8 PM because it made my brain too active. Try reading a physical book instead, it actually helps to relax the eyes.
A warm foot soak with simple warm water before sleeping can relax your nerves nicely. However, if your sleeplessness is due to severe anxiety or physical pain, please don't rely on home tricks and visit your doctor.
I got so scared when my partner couldn't sleep for days, thinking it would affect the baby. But our doctor reassured us that the baby is perfectly fine and sleep patterns naturally shift. Just create a quiet, dark environment and take it easy.
