Why do you feel sleepy in the second trimester of pregnancy

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Why do I feel sleepy in the second trimester of pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

For women who are expecting to become mothers, when the doctor announces the good news of pregnancy, they are always very excited and look forward to the arrival of their child. However, while anticipating, the process of pregnancy often brings many physical changes and discomforts, one of the most troublesome issues being insomnia.
It is a well-known common sense that good sleep is essential for health. In the early stages of pregnancy, fatigue is already a common problem, and women often need more sleep and rest than before. Many doctors recommend that pregnant women go to bed before 10 p.m. each day and get 8 to 9 hours of sleep.
