The NHS also recommends side sleeping and suggests supporting the bump and placing a pillow between the knees. Why Sleep Gets Harder In Pregnancy As pregnancy progresses, body weight shifts, posture changes, and pressure builds around the lower back, hips, pelvis, and abdomen. Even falling asleep can become harder because the body no longer feels evenly supported. That is why many women start using maternit...
