Pregnant women sleeping on the left side

Although many pregnant women know that it is better to sleep on the left side in the second half of pregnancy, they do not know the actual benefits of sleeping on the left side during pregnancy. So, what are the reliable photos of pregnant women sleeping on their left side? Let's have a simple understanding of this issue. I hope the following points will be helpful to everyone!

1. The left side sleeping position of pregnant women can relieve the compression of the enlarged uterus on the pulmonary artery and iliac artery of pregnant women, maintain the normal blood volume of the uterine artery, ensure the balance of blood supply and demand of the embryo, and provide the fetus with the nutrients needed for development.

2. Sleeping on the left side can relieve the pressure of the pregnant uterus on the inferior vena cava and increase the blood volume returning to the heart. The improvement of cardiac return force can increase renal blood volume, improve the blood supply and demand balance of brain tissue, and help prevent and alleviate the occurrence of pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome.

3. In the late pregnancy, the uterus rotates to the right. Sleeping on the left side can improve the degree of right rotation of the uterus, thereby alleviating the support of uterine blood vessels, increasing the blood volume of the embryo, improving the oxygen production of the fetus in the uterus, and being beneficial to the development of the fetus. This is of great significance for reducing the birth of low-birth-weight babies and reducing perinatal mortality. Especially when the fetus has delayed language development, adopting the left side sleeping position can make the treatment more effective.

Therefore, it is of great significance for pregnant women to adopt the left side sleeping posture for eugenics, eugenics, and maternal and child care. If a pregnant woman has swollen legs or varicose veins in the feet, it is best to raise her feet appropriately while sleeping on her left side to facilitate blood circulation and relieve leg swelling.

Sleeping on the left side is the best sleeping position for pregnant women in the late pregnancy, because it can relieve the compression of the pregnant woman's pulmonary artery and iliac artery by the enlarged uterus, so that the blood volume of the uterine artery can be transmitted to the embryo normally, thus providing the nutrients necessary for the development of the fetus. In the late pregnancy, the uterus will rotate to the right, and the left side sleeping position can improve the extent of the right rotation of the uterus, relieve the vascular dilation of the uterus, and the blood volume of the embryo will continue to increase, which will significantly improve the oxygen production of the fetus.
