How a pregnant woman sleeps is best for the fetus, and how a pregnant woman sleeps is the best for t

Generally speaking, there are no specific requirements for sleeping positions in the first and second trimesters, and various sleeping positions are acceptable. In the third trimester, that is, after 28 weeks of pregnancy, it is recommended to sleep in the lateral decubitus position, especially the left decubitus position, which can not be supine position, because the fetus compresses the inferior vena cava, resulting in a decrease in the amount of blood returning to the woman's heart, a decrease in cardiac output, and even a slight drop in blood pressure, which will induce contractions. If contractions are frequent, there is an increased risk of preterm birth and there is a potential adverse effect on the fetus by reducing the blood supply to the placenta.

In particular, the left decubitus position is recommended, because the uterus is mildly right-rotated after pregnancy, and the left-sided decubitus position can correct this right-handed position, of course, in actual clinical practice, there is little difference between the left side decubitus position and the right side decubitus position, as long as it is not a supine position.

During pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, due to the increase in the volume of the baby in the womb, the volume and position of the various organs of the pregnant mother will change to varying degrees, and the body will be a little uncomfortable. It is recommended that pregnant mothers sleep in the left lying position, which can reduce the compression of the inferior vena cava to a certain extent and facilitate blood circulation. In addition, try to sleep in alternating positions on the left and right sides to avoid abnormal fetal position.

It is best not to sleep in a supine position, which can easily cause pregnant women to have difficulty breathing.

1. The sleeping position in the early stage of pregnancy, in the first trimester of pregnancy, belongs to the first trimester, and is still in the embryonic stage at this time, so the sleeping position of the pregnant woman does not have much impact on the fetus, sleeping on the back or sleeping on the side is OK, according to your own preferences and habits, but do not sleep on your stomach, if there are pregnant women who are used to sleeping on their stomachs, they should be corrected in time, which is easy to cause pressure on the fetus and is not conducive to development.

2. Sleeping position in the second trimester, from the fourth month of pregnancy, the fetus begins to develop rapidly, at this time pregnant women should pay attention to protect their abdomen, try to avoid the squeeze of external forces, many friends may be used to sleeping with dolls, this is unwise, you can use a pillow to cushion the position of the abdomen, during this period you can sleep on the right side, but it is best to lie on the left side.

3. The sleeping position in the third trimester of pregnancy, this stage is necessary to be more careful, at this time the belly becomes larger, the burden on the body is also increased, the sleeping position is necessary to pay special attention, take the left side of the sleep, which can reduce the degree of uterine artery compression nerves, promote blood circulation, but also increase the blood supply to the fetus, can promote the healthy development of the fetus.

The above aspects are the appropriate sleeping position taken by pregnant women at various stages, so as to promote the development of the fetus, I hope that through the above explanation, more pregnant women have a certain understanding of this, while ensuring that they can sleep comfortably, we should also pay attention to the healthy development of the fetus, if the pregnant woman sleeps incorrectly, it will directly affect the blood flow of the uterus, and has a great impact on the development of the child, so we should pay special attention.
