Approaching the due date, pregnant mother's belly is getting bigger and bigger, how to sleep is uncomfortable, obstetricians recommend that it is best to sleep on the left side in the third trimester of pregnancy, but my left side is not used to sleeping, and it is not comfortable What should I do?
Before 28 weeks of pregnancy, which is what we call the first and second trimesters of pregnancy, the sleeping position of the pregnant mother does not have much impact on the baby. Entering the third trimester, we recommend that pregnant mothers best choose the left lying position, the reason is that the left lying position can improve the physiological right rotation state of the uterus and the blood circulation of the placenta, which can reduce the compression of the enlarged uterus on the abdominal aorta, which is conducive to the blood circulation of the fetus. The left side of the bed does not require a 90 ° sleeping position, but also can only lie on the side of 15-30 °, it is best to choose a cushion cushion on the lower back, it will be more comfortable.
Do all pregnant mothers have to lie on the left side? Not all of this, the left lying position is only a suggestion, and some pregnant women are not suitable for sleeping on the left side, such as: pregnant women with a history of heart disease and congenital uterine left-handed state. Therefore, what kind of sleeping position to choose, is not a generalization, if the pregnant mother is tired in a posture, you can appropriately change the position, mainly comfort.
However, it is best not to choose the supine position in the third trimester, which will cause orthostatic hypotension, nausea, chest tightness, panic, cold sweat and other syndromes, which is not conducive to the health of the fetus and the mother, and should be avoided. 【Popular Science】
