What are the best sleeping positions for pregnant women at 34 weeks?

A pregnant woman's belly will continue to grow as the number of days of pregnancy increases, which brings joy to pregnant women but also great instability, and even brings difficulties to the lives of many pregnant women. For example, a 34-week pregnant woman is close to the delivery stage, and she needs to ensure enough sleep as much as possible. Sleeping posture is a big problem that affects sleep. Let's take a look at the best sleeping positions for 34-week pregnant women.

1. Some pregnant mothers probably know that the correct sleeping position for pregnant women is lying on the left side. However, for a pregnancy period of up to 280 days, it is very difficult to keep lying on the left side for a long time.

2. In fact, the correct sleeping posture for pregnant women cannot be generalized. Different positions can be adopted at different stages of pregnancy.

3. Early pregnancy (1-12 weeks): For pregnant women in the early pregnancy, the belly is not so obvious, and they are relatively sleepy. The baby is also relatively small in the belly. Therefore, at this time, the required body position is how comfortable it is, and try not to take the prone position;

4. Mid-pregnancy (13-27 weeks): Pregnant women entering the mid-pregnancy are not as sleepy as those in the early pregnancy. The 18th week is the dividing line here. Before 13-18 weeks, you can still sleep in any comfortable position, but after 18 weeks, you will slowly feel the baby's movements! If the sleeping position is not to the baby's liking, he will keep moving inside. At this time, you need to adjust the sleeping position. You cannot do it on your own, but you have to respond according to the baby's fetal movement. Usually, when the pregnant woman lies on her back, the baby's fetal movement is more obvious, and slightly weaker when lying on the right side. You cannot lie prone at this time!

5. Late pregnancy (28-40 weeks): At this time, the baby can turn over flexibly in the belly, so the fetal movements are relatively large. For pregnant women in the late pregnancy, the best recommended sleeping position is lying on the left side. Lying on the left side can reduce the pressure of the pregnant uterus on the aorta and iliac arteries, maintain normal tension, ensure blood perfusion of the placenta, and make pregnant women less likely to develop lower limb edema, varicose veins of the lower limbs, and fetal maldevelopment.

6. If a pregnant woman in the late stage of pregnancy cannot adapt well to the left side lying position, she can adopt the supine position, but she needs to raise her feet with a soft pillow; it is very painful for a pregnant woman to move to a position and maintain it. The pregnant mother can adjust the sleeping position appropriately according to the baby's fetal movement. In addition, you can consider using a special pillow for pregnant women.
