This is because the baby may keep you up by moving around or kicking. or for new parents you may be worried about the position you are laying in

Not being able to fall asleep while pregnant is normal so don't worry! It could just be you can't get comfortable with the new stomach or exercising before bed will cause you to stay up. You could also just be worried about being pregnant these are all some reasons why, there are numerous others but those are the three main ones I know about! Hope I helped!

There are lots of reasons you might have trouble sleeping while pregnant. Physical discomfort, dreams and worry are all pretty common experiences while pregnant. When I was pregnant I found that physical discomforts were the most frequent disturber of my sleep and I took those on one at a time. Added pillows, nose strips, humidifier, sleeping propped up, all those things helped me. As for worry and dreams, I used breathing exercises and music to calm myself. I hope you are able to find some rest :)

The baby has begun to grow, which means it willl have more room to stretch its legs against your back or bladder.The baby's space is shrinking and it is hard for them to get comfortable too. Plua, you probably have a healthy case of prgnancy hormones that are wreaking havoc on your "normal" cycle.

Sometimes it may be the anxiety of knowing you are pregnant, and the anxiety and racing thoughts regarding how you will prepare for your bundle of joy!

When one becomes pregnant the bofy u dergoes numerous changes. These changes can be a combination of both physical, mental and emotional changes. For many people this may be uncomfortable since they are not used to it. Yiu now have to live for two persons i stead of one. Yiu shouldn't sleep on your stomach, so if that is your favorite sleeping position then you will have a hard time sleeping. Also pregnancy alters the body's hormones, which may also pose sleeping problems. Not to worry though, having a child can become a very precious gift that will be worth it in the long run. Just be patient and understanding. It won't last forever.

As early as your first trimester, pressure on your bladder from your growing uterus can send you scurrying to the bathroom more often than usual. (So might nausea.) Later in pregnancy, you may also suffer from indigestion or heartburn, or leg cramps. You may be too anxious or excited to sleep. Or you may simply ache from carrying around extra weight or struggle to find comfortable support for your big belly. Once you do get comfy, a few well-placed kicks from your baby can easily wake you up. In addition, while the best sleep position during pregnancy is lying on your left side, if you're used to sleeping on your tummy or back, it may take some getting used to.

Because of the pregnancy the hormone levels are changing, which can result in sleeping problems. Also the stress and anxiety of being pregnant can influence the quality of your sleep.
