Morning sickness, back trouble, sleepless nights – and that’s just the first trimester! Aches, pains and other niggles are all part of the pregnancy journey, but there are ways to cope. If you’re not exactly blooming, here’s how to make yourself more comfortable.
Sleep can be a challenge at any time during pregnancy, but by the third trimester you’ll be reduced to a measly two positions as your growing bump takes over the bed.
Experts recommend sleeping on the left side, as it helps the flow of blood and nutrients to the placenta, but in reality you’ll spend the night heaving your bump from one side to the other in a vain bid to get comfortable.
Pillows are your new best friend – place them between your knees, under your bump and behind your back to stop you rolling over.
