5 Ways Mothers Can Sleep Better After Giving Birth

When you have a baby, sleeping can be a difficult task, even if you want to head to bed to sleep long and undisturbed. Some people even say that getting a good night’s sleep is impossible because you have to urinate from time to time, and your baby might suddenly cry. 

As part of your postnatal care in Singapore, you should know the tips to get a comfortable sleep to give your body a rest. 

Drink Moderately
Although people say to drink a lot of water a day, it’s better to drink what your body only needs. Otherwise, you’ll have an urge to pee at night multiple times. For this reason, you’ll have to get up in bed and disrupt your sleep. 

Have a Clear Mind
Having a newborn can stress you out in so many ways: you’ll see changes in your body like a post partum belly and think if you’re going to be a good parent. With this, it can make you awake throughout the night, so you can calm your mind before going to bed for a good night’s sleep. 

Be Physically Active
Indeed, it's hard to move when you're pregnant, but working out can help your body promote better blood circulation. Plus, doing diastasis recti exercises can avoid more complications. At night, you can sleep better because your body and mind feel tired. 

Prepare Your Bed
As much as possible, make your bed comfortable so you can sleep with ease. Make sure your body gets supported by using extra pillows and warm blankets.  A good sleeping position can also avoid divarication of the recti and promote a healthy body. 

Eat Moderately
Also, choose to eat moderately to avoid feeling full before going to bed. Building a healthy diet can also prevent you from developing kidney problems or urinary incontinence in Singapore. Keep in mind to have a balanced diet for better sleep. 

Give yourself a good night's sleep by visiting Orchard Clinic that can address pregnancy complications such as urinary incontinence and post partum belly. Contact them to start your postnatal care.
