Pregnant women face many problems throughout the entire pregnancy and need to be patient to solve them, especially in the late stages of pregnancy where fetal enlargement causes pressure on body organs and seriously affects sleep. Only by adopting the correct sleeping posture can sleep be helped. So, let's take a look at how pregnant mothers sleep well for their babies?
1. Sleeping position during early pregnancy can be arbitrary. In the early stages of pregnancy, there is no fixed requirement for sleeping position, as the fetus is not greatly affected by external pressure and does not cause too much pressure on the pregnant woman herself. Therefore, you can choose your sleeping position freely, but sleeping on your stomach is not advisable. It is recommended to choose a comfortable supine or lateral position.
2. During mid pregnancy, it is necessary to protect the abdomen while sleeping. At this stage, if there is excessive amniotic fluid or twin pregnancy, sleeping in a lateral position can make the pregnant woman feel more comfortable. If the lower limbs of a pregnant woman are heavy, it is recommended to choose a supine position and use a pillow to slightly raise the lower limbs.
3. Lying on the back during late pregnancy is not advisable. When the pregnant woman is about to give birth, her entire abdomen is almost occupied by the fetus, and at this time, the heart, gastrointestinal, and urinary systems are all subjected to varying degrees of compression. This is a difficult stage for pregnant women to endure, thinking about early delivery of the fetus.
It is not easy to sleep soundly in late pregnancy. It is recommended to lie on the left side to reduce blood supply and other health problems caused by insufficient blood supply. Moreover, when lying on the left side, the right rotation of the uterus can be improved, reducing the pressure of the uterus on the abdomen and improving blood circulation.
