What is the reason why pregnant women sweat at night?

Postpartum women are a group we care about very much. After giving birth to a baby, there will be a period of recovery. During this period, physical health is also very important. In many cases, we will ignore this phenomenon, which is very good. We need to pay attention to the activities of postpartum women, which will be more conducive to recovery.

Many pregnant women always sweat a lot when sleeping at night, but they can't find the reason and don't know where to start, which leads to poor sleep quality at night and more fatigue and sleepiness during the day. In fact, pregnant women sweat at night because the estrogen secretion in women's bodies increases during pregnancy, and the concentration of cortisol-binding globulin in the blood increases, causing the adrenal cortex function to be in a hyperactive state for a long time. In addition, the basal metabolic rate of women during pregnancy will increase much higher than usual, and the function of the autonomic nervous system will change accordingly, causing instability in vasoconstriction and thus increase blood flow to the skin, which leads to excessive sweating. This is the same as nausea, vomiting, changes in eating habits, etc. during pregnancy, which are all normal physiological phenomena during pregnancy. Hyperhidrosis eczema may even occur in the late stages of pregnancy. Depending on individual constitution, some pregnant women may continue to sweat while sleeping until after delivery.

In fact, sweating is also a protective physiological reaction. We all know that sweat can take away metabolic waste retained in our body. Therefore, when sweating, metabolic wastes such as sodium chloride, potassium chloride, urea, lactic acid, etc. in the pregnant woman's body will also be discharged from the body along with the sweat, which will reduce the metabolic burden of the pregnant woman's body and is also beneficial to the health of the pregnant woman.

1. Develop the habit of moderate exercise: After getting up every morning, you can go for a walk outdoors to relax your mind. Doing some housework within your ability and exercising moderately are good for both pregnant women and fetuses. You can soak your feet in hot water before going to bed at night to help you fall asleep.

2. Adjust your diet: If you are tired but can't fall asleep, you can eat some fruits such as apples, bananas, and pears. This is because the fruity aroma has a calming effect, and fructose can also inhibit the cerebral cortex and enter a sleep state. You can also drink some scented tea that has a calming effect, such as lavender tea.

3. Correct sleeping position: Sleeping on the left side is the most suitable sleeping position for pregnant women. It not only helps to relax the whole body and stretch the body and mind, but also can alleviate the degree of right rotation of the uterus and maintain sufficient blood supply to the placenta.

4. Maintain a good mood: An irritable mood is not conducive to falling asleep at night, and the biggest enemy of insomnia in pregnant women is also an irritable mood. Therefore, if a pregnant woman is unhappy about something, she must speak it out within a short period of time. She cannot hold it in. It will make her feel better and she will feel relaxed, and she can sleep comfortably. You can also listen to music, watch TV, or plant flowers, which are all good choices.

The above is about the problem of postpartum women sweating at night. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. In our lives, the health of postpartum women is what we need to care about and take care of. We need to take good care of the postpartum women's bodies and adjust their work and rest time and eating habits. This is very good. Pay more attention to the physical health of postpartum women.
