How to sleep during pregnancy is good for the baby

During pregnancy, the mother will affect the baby's physical health at all times. The sleep quality of pregnant women will also affect the physical development of the baby. In the later stages of pregnancy, mothers can no longer lie down to sleep and need to lie on their left side. The sleep quality of mothers in the 10th month is also relatively poor because the baby is falling down at this time and is relatively large in the belly. Pregnant mothers must ensure good sleep quality.

It is more reliable for pregnant women to choose to sleep on the left side, but if you are not used to it, don't force yourself. Just change positions from time to time and sleep on the right side. When I was pregnant, I also heard others say that lying on the left side was good for the baby, so I forced myself to fall asleep in this position every day. Later, when I checked, the expert told me that the baby was completely tilted to the left and the fetal position was not correct. Therefore, it is recommended that you choose the sleeping position that you feel most comfortable during pregnancy, which will be most beneficial to the health of the fetus.

During pregnancy, the sleeping posture of pregnant women has an important impact on the growth and development of the fetus. In the early stages of pregnancy (1-3 months), the fetus develops in the uterus and is still in the mother's pelvic cavity. Direct external pressure or self-pressure will not be very heavy. Therefore, the sleeping posture of pregnant women can be arbitrary, mainly taking a comfortable position, such as supine or side-lying. Bad sleeping postures such as sleeping on your stomach or sleeping with your arms around something should be changed.

In the second trimester (4-7 months), you should pay attention to protecting your abdomen and avoid direct external forces. If the pregnant woman has too much amniotic fluid or is pregnant with twins, she should sleep in a side-lying position, which can make her more comfortable. Other sleeping positions will cause compression symptoms. If the pregnant woman feels heavy in her lower limbs, she can lie on her back and slightly raise her lower limbs with a soft pillow. In the third trimester (8-10 months), the lying position is particularly important. The lying position of the pregnant woman is important for her own safety and the safety of the fetus. It is advisable to lie on the left side, which can correct the right rotation of the enlarged uterus, reduce the pressure of the uterus on the abdominal aorta and iliac arteries, improve blood circulation, increase blood supply to the fetus, and is beneficial to the growth and development of the fetus.

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. After the middle of pregnancy, the belly becomes bigger and bigger. It is uncomfortable to lie on your back at this time. 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 supply 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.
