can't always sleep at night

Ay totoo yan, mama! Ang pregnancy insomnia sa second trimester ay super common, marami sa mga kaibigan ko na nagexperience ng ganyan around 18 weeks, kaya hindi ka nag-iisa dito. Ang good news is, based sa what I've heard from mums who've gone through it, ang lack of sleep mismo ay hindi nakakasama sa baby, pero ang stress from worrying about it ay pwedeng maging issue, so try not to stress too much about it, okay? Ang trick na nag-work sa amin at sa iba: sleep on your left side with a pillow between your knees and one under your belly para mas comfortable at mas better ang blood flow sa baby. Try different positions hanggang mahanap mo ang sweet spot mo. If you're still functioning okay, eating well, at generally feeling good, then baby is fine talaga kahit hindi ka makatulog ng solid hours. Pero if the tossing and turning or anxiety is really getting to you, definitely mention it sa OB mo next visit, some doctors ay okay lang mag-recommend ng safe options to help you rest better. Kaya mo yan, mama!
