It is quite common to have sleep difficulties during pregnancy. There are several reasons for this.
Increase in metabolism — Your baby is growing and developing inside your womb all the time—around the clock. So its metabolism doesn’t slow down when evening comes—or when it is time to sleep for you. Your body needs to supply food and oxygen all the time for its regular growth. Your wakefulness could be a result of that.
Indigestion – Whether you are pregnant or nor, indigestion always creates sleep problems. So, during pregnancy you need to be more careful about it as indigestion and heartburn are very common during this period.
Frequent urination – Your growing uterus puts pressure on your bladder because of which you feel like peeing more frequently. This also makes you wake up in the middle of the night.
Cramps – Many women complain about leg cramps that are bad enough to disrupt sleep.

1. Size of breasts enlarges and milk starts oozing. Nipples thicken, enlarge and elevate and areola also gets dark brown or blackish.
2. Blemishes and spots appear on face.
3. Abdomen becomes bulky, pendulous, loose and spots may also be visible thereon.
4. In certain cases Navel may also protrude.
5. Waist and hips get bulkier.
6. Thighs put on more flesh.
7. Due to constriction of uterus, there may be felt some pain or ache but gradually uterus attains its normal shape. It takes about 6-8 weeks for the uterus to reshape to its formal shape. If a mother breast-feeds her child, her uterus will contract more as a result of which she may have continuous pain, though bearable, in her lower abdomen and pubic area. So, pain is a natural consequence.
8. After delivery, bleeding from vagina is a normal symptom which disappears after 3-4 weeks. There is a gradual decrease in flow which, in lactating mothers, abates quite early. If there is a continuous flow with pain and/or foul smell, some sort of infection may be suspected, and attended to without any delay.
9. Avoid coitus if there is pain, swelling or foul smell from vaginal flow. It may be remembered that a woman can conceive again, despite absence of menses.
10. The lactating mother’s breasts won’t enlarge upto 48 hours of delivery but, when milk is there, breasts will enlarge and will assume former shape after the child has stopped breast-feed.
11. It takes about 2-4 months to attain weight which existed prior to conception. Rise in weight is caused by weight of the child as also enlargement of body organs of mother.
