Dream - Pregnant women (Bumil) usually experience difficulty sleeping at night. With a growing belly, pregnant women will never feel comfortable when trying to find a sleeping position. Not only that, pregnant women have to deal with hormonal changes and frequent urination. Not to mention the psychological problem of anxiety that can strike at any moment. A report from the Pakistan Journal of Medical Sciences states that one of the causes of pregnant women's difficulty sleeping is the anxiety before childbirth. Usually, Muslim pregnant women try to alleviate this anxiety by always praying for protection from the Almighty.

By reading the prayer for sleep, pregnant women will also feel more at ease when resting. Through the regular practice of prayer, every pregnant woman always believes that Allah SWT will always protect her and her fetus during sleep. Now, here are some bedtime prayers for pregnant women as summarized by Dream through various sources.

This prayer can be recited by anyone before going to sleep. For pregnant women, it is recommended to recite it while gently stroking the stomach so that the fetus remains protected during the night while resting. "باسمك اللهم أحيا وباسمك أموت" translates to "With your name, O Allah, I live, and with your name, I die."

"Allah! There is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great."
