What should I do if I don't sleep well during pregnancy?

Pregnant women who are 24 weeks pregnant are best to choose the left lying position when resting, and the same is true when sleeping.

Because the left recumbent position can improve the posture of the uterus rotating to the right, reduce the compression of the uterus on the aorta and iliac artery in the abdominal cavity of pregnant women, the blood flow of the uterine artery remains normal, and the blood supply of the placenta is sufficient, which is beneficial to both the mother and the baby.

Here is a reminder to pregnant mothers try not to sleep on their backs, lying on their backs can easily lead to fetal hypoxia, uterine compression makes the amount of blood returned to the heart and the amount of blood discharged from the heart reduced, dizziness, panic, nausea, breath holding, pale face, limb weakness, cold sweat and other symptoms. If pregnant women have these symptoms, they can generally improve after turning over, of course, it is best to use the left lying position, which can generally make the symptoms disappear. If symptoms do not improve, seek medical attention promptly.

If you still can't sleep well in the above positions, you can also drink a cup of honey water or hot milk before going to bed, or soak your feet with hot water, adjust the temperature, humidity, and illuminance of the bedroom, which can promote sleep.
