However, these three factors (especially stress) can be <strong>particularly present during pregnancy<\/strong>. On top of that, it\u2019s not uncommon for certain pregnancy-related discomforts to also affect your sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insomnia in the first trimester<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For many pregnant women, the first trimester is often <strong>the period when pregnancy symptoms<\/strong> (nausea, vomiting, frequent urination, etc.) <strong>appear due to major hormonal fluctuations<\/strong> that accompany the beginning of pregnancy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to possible insomnia, among the hormones whose levels rise sharply during the first trimester is progesterone. It is <strong>essential for fetal development<\/strong>, but it can also have <strong>sedative effects<\/strong>, sometimes causing daytime drowsiness.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the second trimester<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the second trimester, while <strong>early pregnancy symptoms tend to ease<\/strong>, <strong>the belly grows<\/strong> and takes up more space.

Of course, <strong>if your insomnia is severe or persistent, we recommend consulting<\/strong> the healthcare professional who is monitoring your pregnancy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physical activity<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contrary to popular belief, <strong>maintaining appropriate physical activity<\/strong> (yoga, swimming, or walking) <strong>during pregnancy has many benefits<\/strong>, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">preventing excessive weight gain,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reducing the risk of certain pregnancy-related conditions such as gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, and possibly gestational diabetes,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reducing lower back and pelvic pain (even though exercise doesn\u2019t completely prevent them),<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and having a positive impact on your mood and overall well-being.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physical activity during pregnancy therefore helps <strong>reduce insomnia<\/strong>.

This routine <strong>doesn\u2019t need to be long<\/strong> or complicated. On the contrary, it should help you <strong>relax<\/strong>.

Unfortunately, there is <strong>no miracle position<\/strong> for falling asleep. The only recommendation we can give is to <strong>prioritize comfort<\/strong> using a pregnancy pillow, couch cushions, pillows\u2014anything that helps you feel well supported. In any case, <strong>if you feel uncomfortable in your current sleeping position, it means it\u2019s not the right one<\/strong>. Don\u2019t hesitate to experiment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other recommendations<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, <strong>don\u2019t hesitate to take naps during the day<\/strong> if you feel the need (ideally before 3 p.m. so you\u2019re not too energized at bedtime).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to <strong>diet and hydration<\/strong>, try\u2014as much as possible\u2014to <strong>maintain healthy lifestyle habits<\/strong>. This means <strong>eating early, balanced, and light meals<\/strong> to aid digestion. <strong>Caffeinated drinks should be consumed in moderation<\/strong> or even <strong>avoided<\/strong> before bedtime and more generally during pregnancy, as they <strong>can negatively affect the baby\u2019s nervous system<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want to learn more?
