Summary

This study tested whether two types of gentle exercise—stretching or traditional pregnancy exercises—could improve sleep quality in pregnant women during their third trimester. Sixty women with sleep troubles took part in guided sessions twice a week for three weeks. The goal was to see if either exercise type helped them sleep better and feel less anxious.
