[Mizz Khan]

Salaam ladies

Im 29 weeks pregnant alhumdulillah and i just cant sleep! I have started suffering from back pain since last week... And i just think my mjnd is working overtime! All i seem to be doiń is thinking about everything and getting stressed os this normal???

If i do manage to fall asleep i wake up middle of night and find it so difficult to go back to sleeep! Soo annoying!

Any tips????

Re: Lack of sleeep

If your back is hurting try placing a pillow between your legs when you sleep, or a pillow under your tummy.....both helped me sleep. As for the mind not shutting off, its normal I had the same issue.

Just try and rest and get as much sleep as you can cause once the baby comes it'll be a while before you can get a good nights rest.

Wishing you the best for the rest of the pregnancy

For the back pain, i placed a pillow behind me and in front of me...to keep my back stright. Also when u are up try to keep your back as stright as possible.
So for the sleepless night...well nothing helped me but if u can try to make up your sleep during the day time. Because once the baby in here you wont get much sleep.

Re: Lack of sleeep

I had very minimal back pain issues throughout my pregnancy and I think its all thanks to someone who recommended wearing a maternity belt - it takes the weight off your back by keeping your belly safely restrained.
