Pregnant woman belly pillow

For pregnant mothers, sleeping with a big belly is definitely inconvenient, especially for women who were restless when sleeping before pregnancy and liked to toss and turn while sleeping. After pregnancy, they can only sleep lying flat, which they will find very uncomfortable. If you sleep on your back during the middle and late stages of pregnancy, it may affect the fetus in your belly and be detrimental to the development of the fetus, so many mothers still force themselves to hold back and not turn over in their sleep. But is there any way to let pregnant women use pillows to fix their sleeping position so that they don’t toss and turn? That is the pregnancy pillow, which can help pregnant women fix their sleeping position. Let’s learn about the functions of pregnancy pillows.

effect:

1. Reduces the pressure caused by the enlarged abdomen. The 1.2-meter-long left pillow wing provides support for both arms and legs, and the sloped left pillow wing design fills the gap between the abdomen and the bed surface.

2. It has an adjustable lumbar pillow to support the fragile waist of pregnant women. The pillow distance can be adjusted at will according to the different stages and waist circumference of pregnant women, so that it can better fit the waist of pregnant women without hurting the waist.

3. The multifunctional E-shaped pregnancy pillow adopts the right-leaning and left-hugging design, allowing pregnant women to sleep in the left side. If a pregnant woman sleeps on her right side, back, or stomach, it will lead to symptoms such as intrauterine growth retardation, stillbirth, and high blood pressure. Sleeping on the left side is the healthiest and safest sleeping position for mother and child.

4. It meets the needs of pregnant women to raise their heads, waists and legs, allowing their limbs to relax comfortably, reducing the stretching of waist muscles, and relieving common back pain during pregnancy.

5. It can be used as an auxiliary tool to correct malposition of the fetus and help pregnant women to complete the knee-chest position exercise smoothly and easily. Malposition of the fetus is a common factor causing dystocia. In addition to external rotation of the fetus, the best way is to do knee-chest exercise.

6. Pregnant women will no longer be troubled by back pain, leg pain, incorrect sleeping posture, abdominal pressure, etc., and have a comfortable and restful sleep during pregnancy.

7. Make mothers breastfeed comfortably and babies eat milk easily. It allows mothers to breastfeed without having to lower their heads or bend over, which reduces the intensity of breastfeeding and avoids the possibility of cervical and lumbar spondylosis.

Suitable for pregnant women pillows:

1. Pregnant women with oversized abdomen. Due to the large abdomen, it is inconvenient to turn over during sleep. A pregnancy pillow can lift the abdomen and reduce its weight, thereby reducing the burden on the expectant mother.

2. Pregnant women with back pain. Pregnancy pillows can provide pregnant women with a support, reduce the bearing capacity of the waist and back, and help them fall asleep better.

3. Pregnant women with incorrect sleeping posture. Pregnancy pillows can help pregnant women estimate their sleeping posture and correct wrong sleeping postures.

4. Pregnant women with malpositioned fetus. Pregnancy pillows can help adjust the fetal position.

5. Pregnant women with edema during pregnancy. Using a pregnancy pillow can further relieve edema during pregnancy.

6. Pregnant women who have poor sleep. While reducing other physical burdens on pregnant women, the biggest function of pregnancy pillows is to improve their sleep quality.

Best sleeping positions for pregnant women:

1. Lying on the left side can reduce the pressure of the enlarged pregnant uterus on the pregnant woman's aorta and iliac artery, maintain normal blood flow in the uterine artery, ensure blood supply to the placenta, and provide the fetus with the nutrients needed for growth and development.

2. Lying on the left side can reduce the pressure of the pregnant uterus on the inferior vena cava and increase the blood flow returning to the heart. The increase in the amount of blood returning to the heart can increase the blood flow to the kidneys, improve the blood supply to the brain tissue, and help avoid and alleviate the occurrence of pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome.

Third, in the late pregnancy, the uterus rotates to the right, and lying on the left side can improve the degree of right rotation of the uterus, thereby reducing uterine vascular tension, increasing placental blood flow, improving the oxygen supply to the fetus in the uterus, and promoting fetal growth and development. This is of great significance for reducing the birth of low-birth-weight babies and reducing perinatal mortality. Especially when the fetus is growth-retarded, lying on the left side can achieve better treatment results. Therefore, it is very important for pregnant women to sleep on their left side for good pregnancy and childbirth, as well as the health of mother and baby. If a pregnant woman has lower limb edema or varicose veins in the legs, it is best to raise the legs appropriately while lying on the left side to facilitate blood circulation and reduce lower limb edema.
