We all know that half of a person's life is spent in bed. Ensuring adequate sleep every day will make us very energetic all day long. However, once many women become pregnant, their bodies will change. The fetus will grow and develop day by day in the belly. Women's sleeping positions also need to change after pregnancy, especially in the first three months. It is particularly important. If you are not careful, it can easily cause miscarriage. Let's take a look at what pregnant women need to pay attention to in their sleeping positions in the first three months?

What should pregnant women pay attention to when sleeping in the first three months?

During the ten months of pregnancy, pregnant women have relatively high requirements for sleeping posture, especially for those friends who like to sleep on their stomachs. It is recommended that you should pay attention when you are pregnant. Sleeping on your stomach will press on the fetus, which has a great impact on the 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 severe, so the sleeping posture of the pregnant woman can be arbitrary, mainly adopting a comfortable position, such as supine or side-lying. Bad sleeping positions such as sleeping on your stomach or sleeping with your arms around something should be changed.

During the second trimester of pregnancy (4-7 months), you should pay attention to protecting your abdomen and avoid direct external force. If a 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 a 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 late pregnancy (8-10 months), the lying position is particularly important. The lying position of a pregnant woman is important for her own safety and that of the fetus. It is advisable to adopt the left side lying position, 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. But it is not advisable to take the supine position. Because when lying in the supine position, the huge uterus compresses the inferior vena cava, reducing the amount of blood returning to the heart and cardiac output, resulting in hypotension. Pregnant women will feel dizziness, palpitations, nausea, shortness of breath and other symptoms, and their faces will be pale, their limbs will be weak, and they will break out in cold sweats. If the above symptoms occur, you should immediately lie on your left side. Your blood pressure will gradually return to normal and the symptoms will disappear.

The above is an introduction to what pregnant women need to pay attention to when sleeping in the first three months. We know that conceiving a baby is a very hard thing, especially for female friends, who must pay great attention to all aspects. If you want the baby to come into the world smoothly, you must pay great attention to all aspects of daily life.
