Don’t you feel tired and sleepy all day? Do you even have trouble falling asleep because of multiple bathroom visits during the night? You’re not alone in this journey.
Nap
Progesterone is a hormone that plays an important role in reproductive cycle regulation and makes you drowsy.😫 When you’re pregnant, increased levels of progesterone hormones make you feel worn out and sleepy.🤰
Progesterone can also disrupt your sleep😴 at night and make you feel fatigued throughout the day. You need to replenish your overnight shortage by taking naps during the day to feel more energized.😃
Trouble getting comfy
When you’re pregnant, your breasts are enlarged and more tender, your belly is getting bigger, making it hard for you to find the most comfortable sleeping position.🛌🏾 The first trimester is the perfect time for you to practice sleeping on your side.😃
Sleeping on your side improves the flow of blood🩸 and nutrients to your uterus. It also helps your body discard waste better.
You’re not alone
Either it’s your first time or the second time you get pregnant, the first trimester is going to be exhausting.🙁 Listen to your body and your little baby. When your body tells you to rest, don’t force yourself to work but slow down and rest!🛏️
