As the gestational weeks increase, many pregnant women experience poor sleep at night. Some pregnant women may choose to purchase a U-shaped pillow to help with sleep, so what is the use of a U-shaped pillow?
1. Fixed sleeping position
Generally speaking, it is best for pregnant women to sleep in a left lateral position. However, some pregnant women find it difficult to maintain a left lateral position for a long time while sleeping soundly. By using a U-shaped pillow, they can easily fix their sleeping position and have a good sleeping posture, which can naturally improve the quality of their sleep.
2. Waist protection
As the belly grows larger, the ability of the pregnant woman's waist to bear weight also increases. Many pregnant women may experience back pain and soreness, especially when sleeping at night, making it impossible for them to sleep. And using a U-shaped pillow to support the waist during sleep makes the waist more comfortable and sleep better.
3. Relieve stress
People who are not pregnant find it difficult to experience the discomfort of pregnancy, especially when their belly is getting bigger and bigger. Pregnant women feel uncomfortable just sleeping. Using U-shaped pillows can elevate the head, waist, and legs of pregnant women, allowing them to relax their limbs and relieve stress.
4. Breastfeeding
Don't think that U-shaped pillows are useless after a pregnant woman gives birth. In fact, U-shaped pillows can also be used as tools for mothers to breastfeed their babies. After using a U-shaped pillow, the mother no longer needs to lower her head or bend over while breastfeeding, which can avoid the possibility of cervical or lumbar spondylosis.
