Some pregnant mothers are close to the third stage and most likely have serious sleep problems. In order to sleep well, Bao Ma even buys several pregnant women's pillows. But as for their sleeping position, it is quite a tangled matter. After all, even we know that prone and supine are absolutely not allowed to occur during pregnancy.
The left and right sides are the entanglements of pregnancy sleep. Indeed, there are indeed some improper sleeping positions during pregnancy that can hurt the fetus.
The first: it is not advisable to sleep on your back
In the first trimester, it is still not hindered, because in the first trimester, the supine will not compress the veins of the lower vena cava, and will not cause any impact on the blood circulation of the pregnant mother. However, in the middle and third trimesters, sleeping on your back will make the abdomen that is constantly bulging and enlarging, forming a sense of pressure, and the swelling of the lower limbs of the pregnant mother will be aggravated, and the edema of the vulva may also occur.
Therefore, unlike pregnant women, if there is any problem with the fetus, pregnant mothers should not insist on sleeping on their backs in the third trimester of pregnancy.
Second: it is not advisable to sleep with your head covered
Sleeping with our heads covered allows us to immerse ourselves in a small space that is both warm and easy to concentrate on falling asleep quickly, which is conducive to our rapid entry into sleep. But with the arrival of pregnancy. This habit of sleeping with a blindfold should still be changed in time. Failure to do so will result in insufficient oxygen supply to the fetus.
Other than that. The content of carbon dioxide in this small space in the bed is still quite a lot. This has a very bad effect on the brain development of the fetus.
In short, during pregnancy, what women need to correct most is the wrong sleeping position, lying on their backs and sleeping with their heads covered is not conducive to the development and health of the fetus. Especially in the third trimester. In any case, these two sleeping methods must be corrected.
So, in the third trimester, how should pregnant women sleep to be safe?
Of course, side sleep is still recommended. As for whether to lie on the left side or on the right side, this is not recommended to be too tangled. After all, the time of pregnancy is constantly shortening, and it is unrealistic for women to always maintain a sleeping position.
But if you must distinguish between good and bad. It is still recommended to sleep on the left side, because sleeping on the left side can not only correct the right-handed uterus, but also reduce the compression of the inferior vena cava by the enlarged abdomen. It must be the first to sleep during pregnancy.
It's just that we can't keep a posture constant. For a long time, it will make the pregnant mother feel deeply constrained, and it is better to sleep unsteadily in the third trimester, and the pregnant mother will sleep on the left side and sleep on the right side. The two rotations will make the pregnant mother much more comfortable.
In fact, for women who are pregnant, whether they are in the first trimester, second trimester or third trimester? Don't we just look at their sleeping position? Instead, it is necessary to use sleep quality to measure the physical health of pregnant mothers and the healthy development of the fetus.
That is to say, as long as the sleeping position of the pregnant mother is comfortable and the fetal development is healthy, any kind of sleeping position is used by the pregnant mother at will and selected.
