Many pregnant women experience a significant decrease in sleep quality as the months of pregnancy increase. Therefore, when choosing sleep bedding, it is important to choose a more comfortable one based on the pregnant woman's own condition. So, is it better for pregnant women to have a higher pillow?
Pregnant women should not sleep on pillows that are too high, as long as they feel comfortable during sleep. Generally, a pillow of about ten centimeters is a suitable height. Pregnant women should not sleep with pillows that are too high or too low, as this is not conducive to the health of the cervical spine.
For pregnant women, their height, weight, as well as the width of their cervical spine, shoulder width, and neck length vary. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the height of the pillow according to the pregnant woman's own situation as much as possible.
In order to make pregnant women more comfortable during sleep, special maternity pillows can be chosen. Maternity pillows have the advantages of free adjustment, stress relief, fixed posture, protection of the fetus, correction of fetal position, and waist protection.
Especially for pregnant women who experience severe physical discomfort during pregnancy, including lower back and abdominal pain and foot swelling, a multifunctional maternity pillow can be chosen to effectively alleviate these discomfort symptoms.
During sleep, the left lateral position is the most beneficial sleeping position for pregnant women and fetuses. This sleeping position can effectively protect the heart and increase blood flow to the placenta and uterus, ensuring the oxygen and nutrients needed by the fetus.
