How to sleep pregnant?

In pregnancy, the body goes through so many changes. Gentle pranayama before bed can calm the mind. For positioning, sleeping on the left side is often advised, and using pillows to support the belly and between the knees can bring great comfort. Listen to your body, it knows what it needs.

Beti, those days were tough for sleeping, I remember. My mother-in-law used to tell me to lie on my left side, and put a pillow under my tummy and one between my legs. It helped a lot with the backache. Don't worry, it gets better after the baby comes.

Okay, from someone who's been there twice! The left side is your best friend. Get a good maternity pillow – it's a game-changer. It supports your belly, back, and knees all at once. Also, stay hydrated, and try to empty your bladder right before bed to minimize waking up for bathroom trips.

I'm not pregnant myself, but I've heard a lot about how challenging it can be to sleep comfortably. My sister used a big body pillow and swore by it, especially in the later months. She also mentioned sleeping on her left side was important for the baby.
