After getting pregnant, many things become different from usual. Pregnant mothers will face some new problems in terms of diet and other aspects. Even if they sleep, they are completely different from before.
After Xiao Ge became pregnant, he cared about the health care during pregnancy. The joy of the first pregnancy made Xiao Ge very nervous.
Therefore, Xiao Ge is very concerned about diet, exercise, hygiene and other aspects during pregnancy, and is very careful when doing anything.
However, what Xiaoge did not expect was that during pregnancy, sleeping posture will also affect the mother or fetus.
It was not until the middle of pregnancy that Xiaoge felt that his big belly began to affect his sleep state, so he felt that it was necessary to consult about his sleeping posture. After
, Xiaoge found one of his best friends, and his best friends told Xiaoge that in the middle and late stages of , you should pay attention to sleeping on your left side , which is good for both the mother and the fetus. So, Xiaoge kept sleeping on his left side.
However, after a while, Xiao Ge always felt that she couldn't sleep well. The reason was that she kept sleeping on her left side, which made Xiao Ge feel a little numb and became more uncomfortable as she slept. The feeling was like being bound, which later seriously affected Xiao Ge's sleep quality.
Forced to the point of helplessness, Xiaoge found a friend who did related work to consult. The friend told Xiaoge that lying on the left side is indeed the most recommended sleeping position for pregnant mothers in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, but it does not mean that all pregnant mothers need to use this position in the middle and late stages of pregnancy. To know which sleeping position you are suitable for, we need to first understand the impact of sleeping position on pregnant mothers.
During pregnancy, different sleeping positions have different effects on pregnant women. Learn about it. It is beneficial to understand
Under general circumstances, there are four main sleeping positions, namely lying on the back, lying on the left, lying on the right, and lying on the prone. They have different effects on pregnant mothers:
① Sleeping position on the back , which can actually be used in the early stage of pregnancy, because the pregnant mother's belly is not that big and the fetus development is not obvious, so lying on the back will not have much impact on the pregnant mother.
However, in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, lying on your back is not possible, because lying on your back will cause blood vessels and other tissues in the lower cavity to be compressed by the stomach, which seriously affects the blood flow, which may cause some problems caused by blockage of blood flow, such as varicose veins.
Moreover, due to problems with blood supply, both pregnant mothers and fetus' oxygen supply problems will occur, resulting in ischemia, hypoxia and other conditions.
②Sleeping position on the left side , suitable for the entire pregnancy period. Under normal circumstances, this sleeping position will not have any adverse effects on the pregnant mother in the early stages of pregnancy. In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, when the pregnant mother's belly becomes significantly larger, this position can help the pregnant mother correct the uterus position (correct the right-hand rotation into a straight position). is conducive to the healthy development of the fetus and can improve the smoothness of delivery .
At the same time, this posture can also maximize the impact of the uterus on blood flow, reduce the compression of the organs, etc., etc., and can be said to be the most beneficial posture for pregnant mothers and fetus.
③ Sleeping position on the right side, has the same benefits for pregnant mothers as for lying on the left side, and can also reduce the body's pressure on the heart. However, this sleeping position has a big disadvantage, that is, long-term use may cause the uterus of normal pregnant mothers to be right, which will affect the blood and oxygen supply of the fetus, which is detrimental to the fetus.
④ Prone sleeping position, is an extremely rare sleeping position. Not to mention it, it is not very good for pregnant mothers, for ordinary people. It may cause greater pressure on the heart and lungs and is not conducive to breathing during sleep.More importantly, when pregnant women have big belly, this kind of sleeping position is impossible, so we don’t need to consider it.
Through the analysis of these sleeping positions, we can know that prone and supine lying are definitely not suitable for in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, but lying on the right side is different.
In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, pregnant women are not required to sleep on their "left side lying" sleeping position. Pregnant mothers should not be foolish and do not know
The difference between lying on the right side and lying on the left side is that its long-term use will cause the right uterus to rotate and affect the development of the fetus. Therefore, as long as one of the following conditions meets, pregnant mothers can actually sleep on the right side:
- Temporary use of lying on the right side will not have a significant impact on the fetus.
- The uterus is in a left-handed state, and the right side can correct the position of the uterus.
- Pregnant mothers feel uncomfortable when they use one side for a long time and can use it alternately on the left and right.
We must know that the purpose of sleep is to allow pregnant mothers to rest better and allow the fetus to develop better. Sleeping posture is a factor that helps pregnant mothers achieve this goal. Therefore, if is uncomfortable and sleeping well on the left side, then they can alternate left and right, to realize the true value of sleeping posture.
Of course, only a suitable sleeping position cannot completely give pregnant mothers a good sleep. If you want to sleep more comfortably, you need to pay attention to the following issues:
) Use comfortable bedding
When pregnant mothers sleep, they may be affected by their stomachs and cannot achieve a better sleep quality. At this time, we need to use bedding reasonably.
First of all, should choose a skin-friendly and comfortable bedding to make the body feel comfortable. Secondly, If pregnant mothers have a big belly and have a strong sense of pressure, they can use bedding such as pillows to cushion their stomachs, legs and other positions to achieve a comfortable sleep state.
) The sleeping environment should be appropriate
When pregnant mothers sleep, the environment inside the house should pay attention to the fact that there is no noise pollution and no light (any light is not good for sleep, even the night light) pollution, the temperature (17℃~23℃) and humidity (40%~60%) are appropriate, and the air is fresh and has no odor. If the natural conditions are not met, you can use air conditioners, fresh air systems, air purifiers and other equipment correctly.
Pay attention to sleeping on time and getting up on time to ensure the length of sleep. Remember to take a nap, so that pregnant mothers can get the best rest effect.
In addition, here is a mistake that pregnant mothers do not sleep as much as possible. Excessive sleep will have a certain impact on the health of pregnant mothers and fetus. Therefore, pregnant mothers should not stay in bed all day and cannot afford it. It is better for both fetus and pregnant women to go out to exercise properly.
Conclusion
Lying on the left is indeed the best sleeping position during pregnancy, but relatively speaking, pregnant mothers need to reasonably adjust their sleeping position based on their actual situation, so that the best sleep effect can be achieved.
