Health Tip: Trouble Sleeping During Pregnancy
By LadyLively on October 20, 2014
While you may sleep soundly during the first trimester of pregnancy, sleep may be more challenging during the later months.
The American Academy of Family Physicians mentions these reasons why:
- Needing to urinate more frequently because of increased blood volume and harder-working kidneys.
- Having an increased heart rate because it is working harder to pump more blood to your body, making it tougher to sleep.
- Feeling short of breath.
- Having leg cramps and backaches.
- Having heartburn and constipation.
