2nd trimester mark. Why? Because, it means less risk of a miscarriage,
less morning sickness, less frequent urination.
Moreover, it means longer peacefully sleeping hours.
Women often feel their best and have a boost
of energy during this time. Anyway, there remain plenty of maladies to plague
sleep during this time. Our bodies are adapted to make room for the enlarging
uterus and the diaphragm is restricted and breathing becomes shallower. This
causes the infamous heartburn. Many women only have to eat or drink anything
and get it. Another unpleasant case interrupt our sleep is nightmare. Some of
pregnant women notice their dreams become increasingly frightening and
extremely vivid by pregnancy develops.
