Everyone has their favorite posture, even unborn babies are no exception. The baby who is still in the belly has already started to like the mother lying down and sitting, even though the fetus is still in the belly and the various organs of the body have not fully developed. In this situation, what is the reason why the fetus likes the mother to lie down and sit? Let's explore it in the following text.
Why does the fetus like the mother lying down and sitting
In mid pregnancy, it is comfortable for the baby's mother to be in the left lateral position. Because this position will cause good blood supply to the fetus, making the fetus feel more comfortable.
Precautions for Pregnant Mothers Lying Down and Sitting
1. In the early stages of pregnancy (1-3 months), the fetus develops in the uterus and remains in the mother's pelvic cavity. Direct external pressure or self pressure is not very heavy, so the sleeping position of the pregnant woman can be arbitrary, mainly adopting comfortable positions such as supine or lateral position.
Bad sleeping postures such as sleeping on your stomach or hugging something should be changed.
2. During mid pregnancy (4-7 months), attention should be paid to protecting the abdomen and avoiding direct external forces. If a pregnant woman has excessive amniotic fluid or twin pregnancy, she should adopt a lateral sleeping position, which can make the pregnant woman more comfortable. Other sleeping positions may cause compression symptoms. If pregnant women feel heavy in their lower limbs, they can adopt a supine position and slightly raise their lower limbs with a soft pillow.
3. In the late stage of pregnancy (8-10 months), lying down is particularly important during this period. The sleeping position of pregnant women is closely related to the safety of both themselves and the fetus, and it is advisable to adopt a left lateral position.
The above is a detailed answer to why fetuses prefer mothers to lie down and sit down. At the same time, the article also proposes precautions for mothers to lie down and sit down, hoping that pregnant mothers can be alert. While making the child in their belly lie comfortably, they should also make themselves lie comfortably. In this way, expectant mothers can joyfully welcome the birth of their babies.
