The causes of insomnia vary for pregnant mothers at different stages of pregnancy. In the early stages of pregnancy, the placenta secretes a lot of hormones that are essential to pregnant women. These hormones will make pregnant mothers feel lazy and weak, and will also cause symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. These symptoms will seriously affect the normal sleep of pregnant mothers. In the second half of pregnancy, the pregnant mother's blood will begin to secrete a hormone that counteracts progesterone. This hormone will cause certain mood swings, so you must adjust your mentality. By the late stage of pregnancy, your belly will become very obvious, and it will feel uncomfortable to go to the toilet and sleep. At the same time, the baby will move around in your belly, seriously disturbing your sleep.

Pregnant mothers can also use a special pillow for pregnant women to relieve the pressure of a big belly when sleeping. It is also very important to adjust your work and rest schedule during pregnancy. If mom doesn’t sleep, the baby will be high.
