Sleep apnea while pregnant?

Question

Idk what’s wrong with me I notice that when I go to sleep, I get spasms?  Like I’ll go to sleep and then I’ll feel a spasm in my stomach. Feels like a strong kick but I know it’s not possible because I’m only 13 weeks. Then also, last night, my body jerked up. I’m scared to go to sleep. Idk what to think.

Answer

I would try to sleep on your side, and drink some chamomile tea or warm milk before bed. Try not to worry about it, as that will only make it worse. Good luck, and talk to your doctor about it. This can be a nerve getting pinched if you are sitting or reclining a lot. Sciatica is pretty common in pregnancy.

Answer

How are you sleeping? My doctor told me that sleeping on my back during pregnancy could cause shortness of breathe and eventually some other problems (legs falling asleep, etc) because the baby is pressing on some of my arteries. But he said that's usually not a problem until like 22+ weeks. Also, set up a relaxing routine before sleeping to help your body shut down--- take a hot bath, rub some lotion in, and then maybe try laying down and falling asleep.
