6 Must-Have Sleep Accessories for Soon-to-Be-Moms

Getting eight hours of restful sleep is vital for everyone, but it’s extremely important for moms-to-be. Unfortunately, sleeping for two is often uncomfortable, disrupted by aches and pains, indigestion, and more.

The good news is, there are several sleep accessories that can improve the life and ability to sleep of any pregnant woman. Keep reading to learn what some of these must-have accessories are.

1. Maternity Pillow

A quality maternity pillow can provide you with additional support each night. If you have a maternity pillow that takes up too much space, especially when there’s less due to your growing pillow, then consider some cooling pillows.

These can help relieve pressure points and regulate your body temperature. All this leads to a better night’s rest.

2. A New Mattress

Has it been several years since you replaced your mattress? It’s recommended that you replace this essential part of your bed every seven to 10 years.  

If your mattress has reached or surpassed this point, it’s a good idea to consider a replacement. You may be surprised at how much better you sleep when you purchase a new mattress. It can also relieve some of the pressure points your former bed may have caused.

2. An Adjustable Bed

An adjustable bed can help you significantly if you need to elevate your swollen legs and feet. Also, if you have noticed varicose veins, the adjustable base can help you meet the amount of time your doctor recommends you keep your feet above your heart.

Also, when you have an adjustable base, it can help you when your baby arrives and make nursing much easier and more comfortable for you and your baby. It’s a smart investment and one that can improve comfort.

4. Moisturize Regularly

You should try to make moisturizing a part of your day to day routine. Regardless of if you do this during the day, at night, or when you get up in the morning, applying lotion can help to reduce stretch marks on the belly.

Also, if you choose a scented lotion, it can help you relax and unwind before bed. Try to choose a scent that is pleasing to you, as there are quite a few to choose from, everyone should be able to find something.

5. Quality Slippers

There’s no question your feet, legs, and ankles take quite a beating when you are pregnant. They have to support all that extra weight, which can be quite demanding.

To help ease the discomfort and pain associated with swollen feet, legs, and ankles, purchase a quality pair of slippers and keep them by your bedside. This will also ensure you are ready for those countless midnight bathroom runs you are going to have.

6. Keep Prenatal Vitamins Nearby

It’s essential to keep your prenatal vitamins nearby when you are pregnant. Try to take them in the evening, rather than early in the morning. These can help with morning sickness significantly.

Getting Ready for Baby

There’s no question that being pregnant is an incredible experience that is worth every bit of pain and discomfort. However, there are several things you can do to reduce the pain and discomfort you experience, regardless of if you are one month into the pregnancy or about to give birth.

By purchasing and using the must-have items that have been put on this list, you can improve your comfort level, feel better, and enjoy your pregnancy even more than before. All you have to do is adjust your environment a bit to reap all these fantastic benefits.
