THE REAL REASON MANY PREGNANT WOMEN WAKE UP BETWEEN 2AM - 4AM 😳🌙 Dear pregnant woman... Have you noticed that once midnight reaches, sleep suddenly disappears? 😭 You turn left. Turn right. Adjust pillow 700 times. Use toilet every 20 minutes. Baby starts doing kung-fu inside your stomach 😂💔 You’re tired… But sleep says: “Not today.” 😩 What many women don’t know is that this is VERY common in pregnancy 👇 📍Why It Happens: ✅ Your hormones are changing rapidly ✅ Baby becomes more active at night ✅ Your bladder gets compressed easily ✅ Heartburn and body pain disturb sleep ✅ Anxiety about labour and delivery can keep your brain awake And sometimes… The moment YOU finally want to sleep… Your baby suddenly starts a midnight football match 🥲⚽😂 But here’s something important 🚨 🛑 Lack of sleep during pregnancy can make you: ❌ More exhausted ❌ Easily irritated ❌ More stressed ❌ Mentally drained 📍What Can Help: 💧 Drink enough water during the day 🛏️ Sleep on your side 📱 Reduce phone light before bed 🎵 Listen to calming music 🧸 Use pillows to support your tummy and legs And please… Don’t suffèr in silence. Many pregnant women cry at night from stress and exhaustion without telling anybody 🥺💔 Pregnancy is not only physical. It is emotional too. So if you’re always awake scrolling Facebook at midnight… Just know many pregnant women are awake with you too 😂🤰🏽💖 Keep reading my posts for more health and maternity care tips they don't always teach in antenatal class #fyp
