Reply To: sleep/nighttime routine

Hey! Argh, I’m so sorry. Sleep is important!! Check to see if your prenatal vitamin has magnesium, if not, I’d recommend switching or potentially adding in a magnesium supplement. I’ve outlined some safe teas here so you could try one of these as well: https://new.theprenatalnutritionlibrary.com/herbal-tea/ (maybe one of the chamomile ones)

Of course, I’d also recommend increasing high magnesium foods, we are updating this note soon but here you’ll find where to get more magnesium: https://new.theprenatalnutritionlibrary.com/magnesium/ I would place focus on vitamin D and omega-3’s as well, fish may not sound appealing right now, but it is a great dinner option!

You could try eating walnuts or almonds before bed as these foods contain melatonin.
