A few days ago we commented that a high percentage of pregnant women will experience snoring during pregnancy, something that if not associated with other symptoms should not worry.
However, no matter how slight snoring may affect our well-being and the night rest of the future mother, so fragile during pregnancy. Therefore we are going to give you some tips that help relieve snoring and sleep better.
- Eliminate caffeine from the diet, something that we should have done on the other hand. Caffeine can dilate the blood vessels in the throat and nose and contribute to narrowing of the airways and nasal congestion.
- Raise your head slightly more than usual to clear the airways. You can use a higher pillow, or an additional pad, but always taking care of comfort and that our neck does not suffer.
- Advanced pregnancy, when snoring is more common, the best sleeping position is sideways, so it is probably one of the nostrils, the one that is not supported by the pillow, the one that is more clear. Therefore, among other reasons of comfort and circulation, it is good that we vary the side on which we rest during the night.
- Nasal adhesive strips that widen the opening of the respiratory pits can also help stop or reduce snoring. They do not need a prescription and are not invasive.
- In extreme cases, the doctor may recommend a mouth guard that keeps the jaw aligned so that you can breathe properly.
Fortunately, snoring during pregnancy They are a temporary fact that will remit after giving birth.
