Getting in and out of bed when pregnant can be challenging, especially as
your belly grows and your centre of gravity shifts.
Here are some tips to help you get in and out of bed safely and comfortably:
1. Sit on the edge of the bed
Start by sitting on the edge of the bed with your feet flat on the floor. This will help you maintain your balance and avoid any sudden movements.
2. Use your arms
Place your hands on the bed behind you and use your arms to support yourself as you lie down or sit up.
3. Roll onto your side
When lying down, roll onto your side and use your arms to support your head and neck. This will help you avoid putting too much pressure on your belly.
4. Use a pregnancy pillow
A pregnancy pillow can help support your belly and make it easier to get in and out of bed. Place the pillow between your legs when lying on your side to help align your hips and reduce pressure on your lower back.

discomfort or pain, stop and adjust your position.
