Why does the fetus move violently when lying on the left side?

Many expectant mothers have such doubts. When sleeping, if they lie on their right side, the baby will be very quiet and they can hardly feel the baby's presence. But if they lie on their left side, they will find that the baby is very active and keeps moving. So, does the baby prefer to lie on the mother's left side? Why does the baby move a lot when the pregnant woman sleeps on the left side?

Why does the fetus move violently when the pregnant woman falls asleep on her left side?

1. Sleeping on the left side can provide nutrients for the baby. In the later stages of pregnancy, the sleeping posture of pregnant women is very critical. Incorrect sleeping posture will affect the uterus and increase the pressure of the uterus on surrounding tissues and organs, thereby affecting the blood volume of the uterus and embryo. The baby's development is closely related to the blood volume of the embryo. If you sleep on your left side, it can not only reduce the compression of the pregnant uterus on the pregnant woman's artery, but also ensure the normal uterine artery blood volume, so that the embryo can obtain normal blood supply and provide the baby with the nutrients necessary for development.

2. In the later stages of pregnancy, some expectant mothers may experience symptoms of pregnancy-induced hypertension such as high blood pressure and edema. At this time, the expectant mother can improve this condition by sleeping on the left side, which can gradually dissipate the edema and prevent convulsions. For normal expectant mothers, sleeping on the left side can reduce the chance of pregnancy syndrome and improve the normal blood supply to the brain.

3. Sleeping on the left side of the body can ensure the normal blood volume of the fetus, which is beneficial to the development of the fetus and the health of the pregnant woman.

In addition, sleeping on the left side can also improve the baby's oxygen production in the uterus.
