1. Lying on the left side is the best

In the early stages of pregnancy, the sleeping position of the pregnant mother does not seem so important, because the belly is not very obvious at this time, and sleeping in any position is quite comfortable, and it does not have much impact on the baby in the belly. However, when the pregnancy reaches the middle and late stages, the belly becomes larger and sleeping becomes uncomfortable. Pregnant mothers should be careful. At this time, it is recommended to sleep on the left side.

1. Sleeping on the left side is the healthiest for pregnant mothers and will not put too much pressure on the heart.

2. 2. Helps in diuresis. Because in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, the feet and legs of pregnant mothers are prone to swelling. At this time, lying on the left side can alleviate the "swelling". However, when lying on your left side, you should raise your legs and feet appropriately.

3. It can speed up the blood flow to the uterus and placenta, ensure better supply of nutrients and oxygen to the fetus, and avoid fetal hypoxia.

4. It can correct the degree of right rotation of the enlarged uterus. Generally, the malposition of the fetus in the middle and late pregnancy can be improved by "lying on the left side".

5. It can reduce varicose veins in the lower limbs and prevent the formation of hemorrhoids.

2. Tips for those who can’t fall asleep while lying on their left side

1. Buy a side sleeping pillow. In maternal and child specialty stores, side-sleeping pillows for pregnant mothers are usually sold. You might as well buy one, which may help you sleep better. 2. Put a high pillow or a small folded quilt behind you, and lean on it deliberately when you sleep. Over time, you will slowly get used to sleeping on your left side.

3. When lying on your left side, try not to press your left arm under your body. You can stretch it forward and upward, and at the same time, don't hunch your chest. This will make you more comfortable and you will fall asleep slowly.

4. Relax your mind, drink a glass of milk before going to bed, divert your attention, and you will fall asleep quickly.

5. You can develop the habit of sleeping on your left side in the early stages of pregnancy. In this way, as your belly gets bigger, you will naturally lie on your left side.

6. If you feel really uncomfortable sleeping on your left side, you can switch between the left and right sides and turn over frequently, which will make you more comfortable. But the left side should be the main focus.

◇ Pregnant mothers must be careful when lying on their backs during the middle and late stages of pregnancy, as it is very harmful to both themselves and the fetus. 1. When lying on your back, the enlarged uterus will press on the aorta behind the uterus, significantly reducing the blood supply to the uterus, directly affecting the nutrition and development of the fetus in the womb. 2. It is not conducive to the timely excretion of sodium salt and other toxic substances in the body of pregnant mothers, which will aggravate lower limb edema and leave hidden dangers for urinary tract infection.
