Q. Help! I’m 36 weeks pregnant and can’t get comfortable at night to sleep. What can I try to get a good night’s rest?
This is a very common symptom, especially in late pregnancy. Improving your sleep can have such an impact on those last few weeks of pregnancy! Here are some things you can try: • Keep a regular bedtime and wake-up time. • Avoid screen time at least an hour before bed. • Sleep on your side and use a pregnancy pillow. • Stay hydrated to avoid leg cramps. • Keep active during the day by taking walks or doing light exercise. • Develop a calming nighttime routine.
