Anhui Medical University has done a comparative study on pregnant women's sleep and fetal development, and the results show that: the quality of pregnant women's sleep is closely related to the development of their babies.
The worse the sleep quality of pregnant mothers, the weaker the baby's physical development, and the more serious it is, it may also affect the baby's intellectual development.
Therefore, pregnant mothers need to make a judgment on their own sleep status. If certain conditions occur, it may have a great impact on the state of the fetus.
Case
Xinyi has been pregnant for 8 months. She was originally a thin girl, but for the nutrition of her child, she supplemented a lot of food every day. Now she has successfully gained 30 kilograms of fat.
She didn't respond much in the first few months of pregnancy, so she slept well at night, always slept until dawn, didn't dream, and was always full of energy during the day.
But in the past week, Xinyi felt that she couldn't get up in the morning, and she was sleepy before noon. Until one day her husband told Xinyi that she snored last night.
The pictures in this article are all from the Internet. The pictures and texts are irrelevant.
Xinyi didn't believe it at first. She hasn't snored for more than 30 years, so why has she started now? And does snoring affect sleep? Shouldn't it mean good sleep?
came to the day of the birth check again. The doctor told her after the check that her blood pressure was much higher than before and she needed to control her weight.
Xinyi asked about her snoring situation again. The doctor said that her condition may be sleep apnea syndrome, and weight should be controlled, otherwise it will have a great impact on the mother and fetus.
scared Xinyi back home, and quickly re-formulated her own nutritious meal, reduced intake of high-sugar and high-fat foods, and insisted on going out for a walk every day.
Therefore, pregnant mothers must pay attention to these conditions when sleeping, and pay attention to the state of the fetus as soon as possible.
1, snoring
Because of the increase in weight and body fat during pregnancy, the upper respiratory tract becomes relatively narrow. Therefore, 20% of pregnant mothers have snoring in the middle and late stages of pregnancy.
At this time, the pregnant mother needs her husband to help judge her snoring status.
Snoring that has no effect on the body:
snores lightly and evenly after falling asleep, or hits occasionally.
Snoring that affects the body: After falling asleep,
snores loudly, unevenly, with fluctuating voices, and poor breathing, and snores almost every day. And when he was snoring, he suddenly stopped breathing, paused for more than 10 seconds, and was suddenly awakened. This snoring of
not only affects sleep, and makes pregnant mother tired, the fetus may also feel hypoxia at this time, which will be very harmful to the mother and fetus in the long run.
Therefore, pregnant mothers who snore due to obesity must control their weight. If it is due to lying down, sleep on the side instead, which can greatly reduce this situation.
2, fetal dreams
Old people often say that the sex of the fetus can be judged based on the dreams of the pregnant mother during pregnancy. For example, dreaming of pythons, chrysanthemums and the like is to imply that the pregnant mother is a boy.
But this is very unscientific, and it may also affect the body of the pregnant mother and fetus.
Frequent dreaming during pregnancy is because pregnant mothers pay too much attention to the arrival of the child and gender, and even become anxious, which changes the way the brain processes information.
Frequent dreaming lack of sleep and anxiety will reduce the growth hormone secreted in the mother's body to promote the growth and development of the fetus, and the development of the fetus may become slow at this time.
Therefore, pregnant mothers must pay attention to relax their mood, so as not to affect sleep.
3, leg cramps
People with reduced calcium ion concentration in the blood will not be able to restrain the muscles and become excited, leading to leg cramps. Pregnant mothers have lower calcium requirements for ordinary people, and they are more prone to calcium-deficient leg cramps.
Pregnant mothers have leg cramps at night. It is very likely that the fetus is suggesting to you that the body is lacking in calcium and should be supplemented in time.
However, overworked pregnant mothers and the same posture while sleeping may cause leg cramps, so they mustPay more attention.
can also relieve leg cramps by the following methods.
often exercise and massage the legs.
Soak your feet or warm your legs.
When you have cramps, lie flat on the bed and hook your toes back.
Sleep is too important for pregnant mothers. You can use different methods to improve sleep at different times.
1, early pregnancy: frequent urination, hotness
Pregnant mothers can drink plenty of water during the day, and do not drink water about 1 hour before going to bed to improve frequent urination.
When you feel hot at night, you can wear light and breathable cotton pajamas to reduce the heat.
2, second trimester: leg cramps, heartburn
leg cramps are improved as above.
Pregnant mothers feel heartburn, which is usually caused by acid reflux in the stomach, so you can properly raise your pillow.
