After you become pregnant, sleep will become the focus of your life for a while. Firstly, the amount of sleep you are getting and then later your new baby’s sleep - or lack of it! Here are some handy tips that Huggies recommend to help you get the good night’s sleep you need.

• There are some people in the medical profession who believe that lying on your right hand side is best avoided while you are pregnant. You have a major vein, called the vena cava, and pressure on this may reduce your blood supply and cause dizziness. If possible position yourself in bed on your left-hand side.
• Use pillows to support your top leg. A body pillow is ideal.
• You may find that you begin to suffer from the “night sweats”. Keep a cool damp cloth next to your bed and wipe yourself down if this happens.
• Your baby may be particularly active at night when you are settling for your rest. This is likely to be because your movement throughout the day has gently rocked them to sleep. Also when you are lying down your baby can stretch out more and kick around. Gently massage over your tummy and enjoy the movement. Breathe deeply and let your mind rest!
