Many pregnant women say it's hard to sleep because they can't get comfortable, need to run to the bathroom constantly, have leg cramps, and are excited – and anxious – about their baby's arrival. With so many physical and emotional changes happening, it's no surprise that 8 out of 10 women have insomnia and other sleep problems during pregnancy. Misery may love company, but it won't provide much comfort when you're watching the numbers on your clock change in the middle of the night.

You may just be unable to get comfortable! Try putting a pillow between your bent knees: this works because it supports your lower back, and may make the side-sleeping resting position you have to assume more comfortable.

it may be uncomfortable if your stomach is big. Because if you turn around you might wake up or the baby is keeping you awake

It depends on what position you are sleeping and also how far along you are in your pregnancy. the weight of the pregnancy is taking a tole on your back when you are laying down. Try different positions and also a full length pillow

You have trouble sleeping while pregnant because you are going through lots of changes, if I will call it that, and it is very different. The body has to adapt.

Hormonal changes plays on the duration of sleep as well as time changes, as physical and psychological changes occur falling asleep can become a little more challenging. Take good care of yourself and learn new ways to adapt to those changes

When you're pregnant, for the first 3 months your baby is growing up and that could difficult you to find a comfortable position to sleep. Also, when you're pregnant, your cardiac frequence is high and that gives you trouble to sleep too.
