The life and work pressure of modern people is very high, and many people have developed the habit of staying up late. Once the habit of staying up late is developed, it often leads to difficulty falling asleep in the morning. Everyone knows that staying up late is not good for the body, especially for pregnant women who stay up late. It not only has adverse effects on their own health, but also causes great harm to the baby. So what are the hazards of staying up late for pregnant women?
1、 The impact of staying up late on pregnant mothers
Frequent staying up late can cause mental fatigue and weakened immunity in expectant mothers, which can easily lead to diseases such as colds and gastrointestinal infections.
Frequent staying up late can manifest on the skin, and expectant mothers are prone to becoming "ugly", with problems such as roughness, yellowish complexion, and dark spots.
Frequent staying up late can also lead to symptoms such as easily agitated emotions, insomnia, forgetfulness, irritability, and anxiety in expectant mothers.
A study by Vermont University in the United States shows that staying up late for a long time increases the risk of miscarriage by about one-third after pregnancy.
American Professional Sleep Association: Insufficient sleep during pregnancy can increase the risk of diabetes during pregnancy, and its effect is not affected by maternal age and body mass index.
2、 The impact of staying up late on the fetus
1. Affects fetal development
Pregnant women staying up late can cause endocrine disorders, affect metabolism, and be detrimental to fetal development.
Especially in the first few months of pregnancy!
A study conducted by the University of Pittsburgh in the United States found that women who lack sleep during pregnancy are at an increased risk of low birth weight and other complications in newborns.
2. Baby's Qi and Blood Deficiency
At night, it is the time for the liver and gallbladder to produce blood. Pregnancy itself is a process that consumes a lot of blood gas. If you stay up late, especially during the hematopoietic period, it is easy to cause blood deficiency, which can affect the fetus and lead to insufficient blood gas after birth.

Pregnant women who stay up late for a long time may cause their babies to not absorb enough nutrients, leading to slow growth and weight loss after birth.
4. Baby loves to cry and fuss
Babies born to mothers who stay up late may have personality traits such as irritability, anxiety, anger, and crying.
This article provides a detailed introduction to the hazards of staying up late for pregnant women. As a pregnant woman, before doing anything, it is important to carefully consider whether it will have a negative impact on the baby.
