I am four months pregnant and haven't taken a nap during the day these last two days. Is that normal?

Patient's question:

I am four months pregnant. These past two days, I haven't taken a nap during the day. At night, after getting up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, I feel very tired but can't fall asleep no matter how I try. I've tried every position—lying on my left side, right side, or even on my stomach—but nothing works. It feels like the baby inside is very active, and whenever I stop moving, I feel chesty and uncomfortable all over. I get this overwhelming sensation like I'm about to burst. I toss and turn for over an hour or two before finally managing to sleep. Is this normal? Is there any way to stabilize it?

Doctor's answer:

In your situation, you should first go to the hospital for an electrocardiogram, blood tests to check blood routine, blood sugar measurement, and blood pressure monitoring to carefully observe how normal everything is. Based on clinical experience, it is recommended to take a warm bath before bed, drink milk, and always maintain a calm mood, as these can help with sleep. Your body is your own, and health is the most important thing. It's best to go to the hospital for an early check-up for peace of mind. The above advice is for the question "I am four months pregnant and haven't taken a nap during the day these last two days." I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
