Sleeping Positions During Pregnancy
Now that you need a good night's sleep more than ever, it's unfortunately harder than ever to get. Finding a comfortable sleep position can be challenging with your growing bump, and not every position works during pregnancy.
Here’s what you need to know to stay comfortable and safe.
Why is sleep so important during pregnancy?
Sleep is the time when your body resets and repairs itself. It’s when your brain makes memories, making it an ally in your battle against baby brain.
It’s how your blood vessels restore themselves, which is especially important now that they’re under increased pressure from the extra blood flow required to support your baby.
Sleep also keeps your immune system — which is suppressed to support your pregnancy — healthy.
And sleep controls how your body reacts to insulin; not getting enough results in a higher blood sugar level, upping your risk of gestational diabetes.Trusted SourceAmerican Academy of Family PhysiciansSleep and PregnancySee All Sources[1]
