It’s very common to feel tired when you’re pregnant, especially in the early and late stages. Fatigue is your body’s way of telling you that you need to take it easier and get more sleep. 1177 lists fatigue as a common symptom of pregnancy.
For those who are pregnant, a weighted blanket can be a natural way to relax and improve sleep quality.
Using a weighted blanket during pregnancy is not dangerous in any way. Some people may feel discomfort from the pressure on their stomach, while others do not. It varies from person to person.
The Sleeping Position
When you’re pregnant, your growing belly can make it hard to find a comfortable sleeping position. That’s why it can be a good idea to use plenty of pillows around your legs and behind your back to find a comfortable sleeping position. Our Anna tube pillow is a two-meter-long cylindrical pillow that can help provide you with better support.

We’ll help you choose the right weighted blanket
It’s always very important to choose the right weight for your weighted blanket. You shouldn’t base your choice on your body weight, especially since your body changes during pregnancy. Use our Weight Selector tool to find the right weight. But you’re also welcome to contact one of our occupational therapists for a consultation before purchasing your weighted blanket from us.
