Sleep on your side instead of your

back and bend your knees. Place a

pillow under your abdomen and in

between your legs to balance the

weight of your belly.

Drink a cup of warm milk or take a

warm bath before going to bed.

Practice relaxation exercises before

bedtime.

Get enough exercise, but not right

before going to bed.

Eat slowly at dinner.

Develop a bedtime routine.

Clear your mind; create a worry list to

write down all your worries and leave

them on the page.

Focus on your breathing.

Limit fluids before bed if your sleep is

interrupted by frequent trips to the

bathroom. Avoid caffeine.

Don't take any medication unless

specifically approved by your

obstetrician.

Don't focus on the time (move the

clock where you can't see it).

Don't worry - insomnia won't hurt the

baby.
