How does a mother of twins sleep?

Mothers who have given birth to twins know that raising twins is definitely more tiring than raising a single baby because the belly is bigger than that of a single baby, so there are more things to pay attention to in life. Mothers of twins can choose to sleep on their backs in the early stages of pregnancy, but in the late stages of pregnancy, as their belly gets bigger, they can sleep on their left side, which can reduce the pressure on their belly.

In the early stages of pregnancy, it is generally more comfortable to lie on your back. You can also put a small pillow or sofa cushion under your knees to make it easier to fall asleep.

If you are pregnant with twins, after the second half of pregnancy, your belly will become bigger and bigger. At this time, lying on your back will be uncomfortable. You are also prone to symptoms of supine syndrome such as dizziness and palpitations. Therefore, it is better to lie on your side, and try to lie on your left side. This can better ensure the blood flow to the uterus and ensure that the baby has adequate nutrients in the uterus.

In the late stages of pregnancy, some pregnant women may experience discomfort such as back pain due to their protruding belly. They can put a small pillow under their waist when sleeping, which will make them more comfortable. When you are active during the day and feel tired in your lower limbs, or when your legs or feet are swollen in the late pregnancy, you can put a small pillow or sofa cushion under your legs to raise your legs. This can relieve fatigue and help reduce lower limb edema, and can also help you fall asleep as soon as possible. Lying on the left side can reduce the pressure of the enlarged pregnant uterus on the pregnant woman's aorta and iliac artery, maintain normal blood flow in the uterine artery, ensure blood supply to the placenta, and provide the fetus with the nutrients needed for growth and development.

Therefore, pregnant mothers carrying twins can choose to sleep on their backs, which is more comfortable, because their bellies are not that big in the early stages of pregnancy. After the second trimester, the belly gradually becomes larger, and sleeping on your back is not very comfortable. At this time, you should choose to lie on your left side, which will not press on the baby and will make you sleep more comfortably.
