Struggling to get comfortable in bed when pregnant? I know I did! Left-side, right-side, dangling half off the bed, sitting bolt upright, one leg wrapped in the quilt and one leg out etc

I'm lucky as Tyrone is generous and would always share his last pillow with me in a heartbeat.... wouldn't you Ty?🧐

I could never get comfy though.

And when I did, the baby would start wriggling like crazy meaning more awake time for me 😩

As for my twin pregnancy, forget it, I don't think I slept longer than 1 hour before the hip pain and heartburn woke me up.

Insomnia is quite common in pregnancy too. Racing thoughts with an over stimulated mind don't help. Then there's the vivid dreams!

What do you find helps with sleep in pregnancy? Putting a pillow between your legs? Massage before bed? Specific bedtime routine? Essential oils?

P.s this sketch is taken directly from my new book, link in bio to pre-order 😍
