Pregnant women who are pregnant for the first time may experience psychological and mental stress, worrying about any abnormalities in fetal development and changes in hormones in their bodies. If family members do not pay attention to the psychological changes of pregnant women in a timely manner, it is easy for them to suffer from insomnia. They often toss and turn at night and have poor mental health during the day. So, what are the effects of insomnia during pregnancy?
Insomnia during pregnancy can affect fetal development, as pregnant women often cannot sleep and the quality of sleep is not guaranteed. As a result, the body's resistance will decrease, which can easily lead to diseases and be detrimental to the health of the fetus. When pregnant women cannot sleep, their mood is also very anxious and depressed, and they may feel easily irritable. If the pressure is too great to relieve, it will be even more difficult to fall asleep.
When pregnant women cannot fall asleep, they should take various measures to regulate themselves, such as not drinking coffee and tea during the day. These substances can easily stimulate the brain nerves and keep pregnant women in a more excited state, so they may not be able to fall asleep. Pregnant women can drink a cup of hot milk before going to bed to help them enter sleep.
At five or six weeks of pregnancy, the pregnancy reactions on pregnant women are more obvious, such as frequent urination, which is very common. They often have to get up and urinate in the middle of the night, which can also affect the quality of sleep. Therefore, pregnant women should try not to eat diuretic foods before going to bed to avoid affecting sleep. Moderate exercise can be done during the day, and the body will also easily fall asleep after labor.
