Here are some tips that will help you lie down and get out of bed comfortably. Read these tips carefully because you will need them in the coming days!

Steps to get out of bed during pregnancy

Before you learn how to get out of bed, you should know how to prepare yourself before lying in bed. Before going to bed, choose loose, comfortable pajamas that keep you warm or warm enough, depending on whether the weather is cold or hot. Sit on the edge of the bed and then slowly lower yourself back to the sleeping position. It is best to sleep on your side during pregnancy, especially in the latter part of your pregnancy.

Below, we tell you the easy ways to get out of bed during early pregnancy without getting hurt:

1. Roll slowly to your side if you are lying on your back or stomach

Bring your knees closer to your stomach and lower them to the edge of your bed. Using your arms for support, push yourself up into a squat position. Now put your feet on the ground. You can also use a pillow between your legs to get up.

2. Inhale and exhale

There are times of dizziness during pregnancy, especially when trying to get up. Doing deep breathing exercises will give you relief and also reduce the back pain you may feel after waking up.

3. Ask for help

It is suggested that you seek help if you find it difficult to get out of bed especially during the last trimester of your pregnancy.

Getting out of bed during pregnancy can be a daunting task because your growing belly shifts your center of gravity and you struggle to balance. Don’t get up early. Take your time, and get out of bed slowly and safely.
