Rest is an important priority during pregnancy, throughout labour and when your baby is here.
During pregnancy, rest when you can around the responsibilities of work and looking after any other children. Give in to early nights, snooze at the weekend and nap when you are on maternity leave because your sleep might also be affected by regular wake-ups and loo breaks.
During labour, managing rest is an as crucial as managing contractions - eat and drink, find comfortable positions for your contractions and rest in-between contractions. With mild contractions in early labour - make rest and sleep your priority so you have more energy for later on.
When your baby is here, life can feel chaotic with no real sense of day or night. In those early days and weeks, try to rest and sleep as much as possible - especially if you have a partner on paternity leave.
Let me know if you have any questions about pregnancy, birth or life with your baby.
