Sleeping is the most important thing during pregnancy. There are some positions may help you to sleep better.

Reasons of an uncomfortable sleeping during pregnancy

  1. Increased size of abdomen
  2. Back pain
  3. Heartburn
  4. Shortness of breath
  5. Insomnia

Sleep position: better choice

Sleep on side is the best sleep position during pregnancy. This position is also known as "SOS". Left side sleeping is the better choice when pregnancy. This method of sleeping will increase the amount of blood and nutrients that reach the placenta and your baby. Keep your legs and knees bent and a pillow between your legs. Your back pain problems may resolve and relax the ‘SOS’ position. You should place a pillow under your abdomen as well.

Heartburn problems during the night, is another common problem. You should try propping your upper body with pillows.
