Sleep Survival for Pregnant Women Final Destination

Here we come to the most difficult part of sleep problem in pregnant women.  I hope you get through 1^st trimester and 2^nd trimester without problem.  Surviving from improper sleep is the most challenged stage in the third trimester. Because of the frequency of urination, inability to get comfortable, extra weight, and preparing for the new baby, it becomes hard job to get well sleep and even have to take effort to pass each night. 

If above problems re not enough, you will feel that rigorous baby moves and baby hiccups can also impede sleep. You can expect aches and pains of many kinds at this time. Since the body is carrying all the extra weight, the heavy duty falls on the joints and that makes it loosening.  Even walking can be tough. 

Many women during pregnancy wake frequently during the night for no reason, which can cause her to be sleepy in the morning. As the result of less sleep and tried, your colleges and husband may see that you have begun snoring. Also during the later stages of pregnancy, many women find that their nasal passages have swollen and have more nasal congestion. 

The muscles of the legs are carrying a lot of weight and tend to get stiff. Once relaxed at night they can tense up or spasm, causing great pain and keeping some women awake. So, it totally makes sense to hear complaints of leg cramps during the 3rd trimester.
