With support and education, you can utilize our evidence-based sleep strategies to improve your sleep and overall well-being, both now and after the baby arrives. Studies have shown that getting enough sleep during pregnancy can reduce the risk of preterm labor, preeclampsia, and gestational diabetes. New research has also found that prenatal insomnia may be predictive of infant sleep challenges. Sleeping also helps to boost the immune system, which is crucial for both mom and baby. Last but not least, getting enough rest during pregnancy can help improve mood and decrease stress levels.

Creating healthy sleep habits now and developing a mindset for nurturing a well-rested household will benefit the entire family, including your sweet little baby-to-be.

The Best Sleep Isn't All About Positions

During pregnancy, it's important to find a comfortable sleeping position that allows you to get the rest you need without putting undue strain on your body. Often, sleeplessness can be caused by more than if you are worried about remaining on your left side all night.

Although this position allows for optimal blood flow to the fetus and can help reduce swelling in the legs and feet, no amount of adjusting on the left side will help if your mind is racing and you feel overwhelmed. At Little Dipper Sleep, we've helped hundreds of families discover their personal paths to stellar sleep. That is why we don't just help "tired mamas," but we proudly support all tired humans. 

We address sleep challenges as early as possible during pregnancy but don't worry if your due date is next week; it's not too late! We have many ways to guide virtually from our home base in Chapel Hill, NC.

The Benefits of Prenatal Sleep

Getting quality sleep is essential, but did you know it's especially important during pregnancy? That's because, during pregnancy, your body is going through so many changes and doing such important work. Your hormones fluctuate, your blood pressure rises, and your body works hard to support the growing fetus. All these changes can lead to fatigue and insomnia, leaving you exhausted.

Sadly, many think prenatal exhaustion "just comes with the territory" or "is the universe's way of preparing you for the demands of a newborn." Whether the sleeplessness is due to hormonal changes, nausea, other physical discomforts (including those frequent trips to the bathroom), anxiety, challenging emotions, or a combination of all of the above, it doesn't have to be this way.
