Best Pregnancy Sleeping Positions By Trimester (+ What NOT To Do)

As your pregnancy progresses, finding a comfortable position for a restful night's sleep can become increasingly challenging. Hormones released during pregnancy cause your back, pelvis, and hips to soften in preparation for birth, which can lead to discomfort and disrupt your much-needed rest. Adequate sleep is crucial during pregnancy, not only for your well-being but also for your baby's health. It reduces the risk of gestational diabetes, antenatal depression, and premature birth, and supports your baby's development and growth.

By the 28th week, sleeping on your side is recommended for your baby's safety, but as you approach your third trimester, the growing bump and symptoms like back and hip pain can make it difficult to find a comfortable position and move in bed. In this video, I'll discuss two types of pillows that can make a significant difference, helping you sleep more comfortably during this critical time. Check out the links below for my top recommendations. Let's make sure you and your baby have a peaceful night!
