Does insomnia during early pregnancy affect the fetus?

Female friends who have successfully become pregnant all feel that their bodies have undergone certain changes. Some changes, such as weight gain, will not affect their normal life, but some changes, such as insomnia, will affect the life of pregnant women to a certain extent. Some pregnant women will experience insomnia in the early stages of pregnancy. So, does insomnia in the early stages of pregnancy affect the fetus?

Many pregnant women become restless during pregnancy and fear of the approaching delivery, which causes a heavy psychological burden. Coupled with the various discomforts of the body during pregnancy, they aggravate the tension and anxiety, and cause insomnia. However, if insomnia is not treated in time and often occurs, pregnant women will be more depressed, prone to temper tantrums, and have more obvious negative emotions.

1. The impact of insomnia in pregnant women on the fetus:

1. If a pregnant woman is too restless during the 4th to 10th week of pregnancy, it may cause the baby's lips to become warped and cleft lip.

2. If pregnant women become nervous and anxious due to insomnia, it may also disrupt the balanced relationship between the cerebral cortex and internal organs, causing imbalance and respiratory function disorder, which may eventually lead to premature embryo separation and even fetal stillbirth.

Therefore, if a pregnant woman suffers from insomnia, she should deal with it as soon as possible, maintain a happy mood at all times, know how to adjust her mood, and be tolerant and understanding of her family.

2. What to do if pregnant women have insomnia

1. If you have leg cramps or difficulty maintaining a correct posture at night, you must adjust your posture, try to sleep on your left side, and pay attention to keeping your lower limbs warm.

2. Adjust your diet. Try to reduce freshly ground coffee, tea, fried foods and other foods, which will affect your mood and make it difficult to fall asleep. Secondly, don't eat too much just because you have a good appetite, which will affect your gastrointestinal function and naturally make it difficult to sleep.

3. Relieve stress. Especially for women who are pregnant for the first time, the mental pressure will be too great, and they are often so anxious that they can't sleep. Or because of irritability, you become unhappy easily. Therefore, before going to bed, you should empty your mind, regulate your breathing, and not think about anything, so that you can fall asleep naturally.

4. Excellent sleeping quality environment. In addition to comfortable bedding sets, pregnant women can also rely on songs to relieve stress. Soothing music is recommended.

5. Maintain a regular work and rest schedule. Sleep less during the day and go to bed on time at night to ensure regular sleep. Avoid sleeping too much during the day, which will make you more excited at night and make it difficult to fall asleep.

6. Get along well with your husband, and he must help you manage your emotions during pregnancy, especially when you have insomnia, so as not to aggravate the mental stress caused by misunderstanding. In this state of tolerance and understanding, it not only ensures the physical and mental health of the baby, but also helps to build the relationship between husband and wife.
