Does lying flat on the back of a pregnant woman for more than seven months have a big impact on the fetus?

Some people are accustomed to sleeping lying down due to cervical discomfort, even after pregnancy. After pregnancy, it is best for pregnant women to change their sleeping position to side sleeping, which is less likely to compress the heart. If you still sleep on your back when you are seven months pregnant, it will have a great impact on the fetus. When you sleep on your back, the fetus is always in the highest position, and the abdomen is under too much pressure, which is not suitable for the development of the fetus.

During the second half of your pregnancy, it's important to avoid sleeping on your back, as this position places the full weight of your uterus on your spine, back muscles, intestines, and inferior vena cava (the blood vessel that carries blood from your lower extremities to your heart). Sleeping on your back may also cause you to suffer from back pain, hemorrhoids, indigestion, respiratory and circulatory problems, etc.

Not only that, sleeping on your back during the second and third trimesters can also affect your blood pressure.

Some expectant mothers experience a drop in blood pressure, which can make them feel dizzy, while others experience an unhealthy rise in blood pressure. Moreover, if you sleep lying on your back during the 7th month of pregnancy, the baby will easily suffer from hypoxia, which is not good for the baby's development.

Lying on the left side during late pregnancy can increase the body's blood supply to the fetus.

It has a good promoting effect on fetal growth and development. If pregnant women adopt a supine sleeping position in the late pregnancy, it may cause low blood pressure. In severe cases, pregnant women will experience various abnormal conditions such as dizziness, pale face, cold sweats, etc.

In addition, pregnant women can greatly reduce the size of the uterus by lying on their left side.

To help prevent the pressure on the blood vessels in the abdomen, lying on the left side during pregnancy can help improve poor blood circulation. It is more suitable for pregnant women to adopt the left side sleeping position in the late pregnancy. Lying on the left side can help the body correct the phenomenon of the growing uterus rotating to the right.

Therefore, the best sleeping position for a 7-month pregnant woman is lying on the left side.

Pregnant women in their 7th month of pregnancy can adopt the left side sleeping position to not only reduce fetal position and delivery abnormalities, but also help reduce premature birth and avoid uterine pressure on the kidneys. Especially when the fetus is growth-retarded, lying on the left side can achieve better treatment results.
