Causes of insomnia in pregnancy

What some women find useful for tiredness and insomnia

During late pregnancy insomnia is often the cause of tiredness and can be due to having difficulty in getting to sleep, or being woken up during the night. The causes can include needing to get up frequently to pass urine, having restless legs at the end of the day, having an active baby moving in the uterus just as you are trying to sleep, annoying heartburn, feeling concerned or anxious about issues, waking to leg cramps, having vivid dreams, suffering from back pain or hip pain or just feeling generally uncomfortable.
