Relieve Sleep Pain During Pregnancy

Experiencing lower back pain which is interrupting your sleep? Experiencing hip and tummy pain? Is this especially painful because you're pregnant?

This video outlines two simple ways of helping to minimise pain in your back, hip or tummy whilst sleeping.

Lower back or hip pain can be present during pregnancy or at any times during our lives. It can be uncomfortable and difficult to find a position to sleep in when our muscles are angry or fatigued from the pain.

In pregnancy as you gain weight for the growth of your baby a lot of work can be placed on the lower back and hips to help support your body against the weight of your baby so you don’t fall over forwards as you get heavier. Sleeping with one leg over the top of the other can cause strain or stretch on muscles that are already angry which causes pain. Having a pillow between your legs and ankles can help keep your hips in a neutral position and allow you to sleep pain free.

Imagine the sweet dreams!

As your tummy gets bigger as baby continues to grow when you’re laying on your side, gravity can pull your tummy towards the bed. This places strain on your side abdominal muscles to counteract the pull of gravity. Having a pillow to support can place your belly in a neutral position and allow you to sleep pain free.
