Pregnancy is a special and joyous time, but it’s also a time of increase in sleep disturbances for most expectant women. Many have trouble sleeping when pregnant because pregnancy can be psychologically stressful. In a 1998 Women and Sleep poll, the National Sleep Foundation determined that 78% of women had more disturbed sleep during pregnancy than at any other time of their lives.
When you take into consideration that women who don’t get sufficient sleep during pregnancy will have an increased risk of complications with their pregnancy, finding a way to destress, rest, and feel calm during and after these 9 months is important.
A kudd.ly™ Weighted Blanket can be the solution. Many pregnant women have asked about the safety of using weighted blankets while pregnant, and other pregnant women have stated they enjoyed the benefits of a weighted blanket such as deep pressure touch that helps calm them and ease them into sleep.
