Pregnant mothers are particular about sleep. How can they sleep to protect the fetus?

Pregnant women should not lie on their backs. During pregnancy, lying on the right side is not conducive to fetal development and delivery. Lying on the right side will make the pregnant woman's uterus rotate to the right, thus compressing the uterine ligament and mesentery, affecting the oxygen supply of the fetus, resulting in chronic hypoxia of the fetus in the uterus. Therefore, the most reasonable sleeping position for pregnant women in the third trimester is lying on the left.

In order to ensure the health of your baby and yourself, you must develop the habit of lying on your left side after 24 weeks of pregnancy. Attachment: the benefits of sleeping in the left supine position of pregnant women After pregnancy, the uterus will grow from the original size of an inverted pear to the size of a watermelon, which will increase by about 5 times. Especially in the third trimester of pregnancy (the 28th to 36th week of pregnancy), when the pregnant woman's uterus rotates to the right, the left lateral position can improve the right deviation of the uterus, reduce the tension of uterine blood vessels, and restore the diameter of blood vessels, thus ensuring the blood flow of the placenta, allowing the fetus to have enough oxygen in the uterus, and the baby's growth and development will be better. Pregnant women should never sleep on their stomachs. If a pregnant woman sleeps on her stomach or holds something, it will cause abdominal compression, lead to fetal malformation and even more serious abortion. But generally speaking, it is difficult to find that the child has grown up in the stomach at the beginning of pregnancy. Therefore, it is best for expectant mothers to develop good sleep habits before planning pregnancy, so as not to affect the growth and development of the fetus. ?
