Since there is a little baby in the belly, the mother-to-be is not eating well and can not sleep well. Recently, a mother-to-be complained about her painful sleep during her recent pregnancy: I found that no matter if I slept flat or on my side, my baby would kick me a few times. I don’t know if the baby is uncomfortable with the pressure, so I went to find the right way to sleep for pregnant mothers, and it is said that pregnant women sleep better on their left side, so I insisted on sleeping on the left side. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and find out that I didn’t sleep on my left side, and I regret it so much that I can’t sleep well for several nights. After pregnancy, the quality of sleep of the mother-to-be usually decreases, on the one hand because the baby will be naughty and kick the mother’s belly, and on the other hand from the psychological pressure, fear of sleeping in an inappropriate position so that the baby’s development is affected. What position should the mother-to-be use to sleep? The sleeping posture of the mother-to-be is a matter of concern. The sleeping posture is different during the first, second and third trimesters of pregnancy. Don’t underestimate the sleeping position, these positions are closely related to the baby. 1, the first trimester (1-3 months) This time the fetus is still small, the mother can relax and sleep casually, how comfortable how to come. But you can’t sleep on your stomach, or hold something to sleep, because it will press the mother’s stomach. 2, the middle of pregnancy (4-7 months) is recommended to sleep on the left side of the mother-to-be, can effectively reduce the pressure of the pregnant uterus on the aorta and inferior vena cava, more conducive to the health of the mother-to-be and the growth and development of the baby. If you are uncomfortable sleeping on your left side for a long time, you can switch to sleeping on your back, which will have no effect on your mother and fetus. 3, late pregnancy (8-10 months) it is best to sleep on the left side, because the location of the inferior vena cava is just on the right side of the abdominal spine, if you sleep on the right side, the expanding uterus will compress the inferior vena cava, but also let the uterus has different degrees of rotation to the right, the blood vessels are involved, affecting the normal blood supply of the fetus. One thing to note: the mother-to-be should not sleep on her back, as this will lead to compression of the inferior vena cava by the uterus and a reduction in the amount of blood returned to the heart and cardiac output. Symptoms of low blood pressure, dizziness, panic, nausea, etc., this time should immediately sleep on the right side of the blood pressure will gradually return to normal. But we should know that although it is good to sleep on the left side, it is unrealistic to ask the mother-to-be to maintain a position all night, do not force yourself too much, just do these two points is enough: 1, lie down to rest with the left side of the bed, reduce the compression of the uterus on the inferior vena cava, increase the amount of uterine placental blood flow perfusion and renal blood flow. 2.Wake up in the middle of the night with a conscious effort to sleep on the left side, and if you feel uncomfortable, follow the position you feel comfortable in. How can the mother-to-be improve the quality of sleep? 1.Soak your feet in hot water for 15 minutes before bedtime to stimulate the foot acupuncture points, enhance blood flow and unblock meridians to help improve sleep. 2.Don’t drink too much water and soup before going to bed to prevent frequent night rises from affecting sleep. 3.If you can’t sleep because you feel heavy and uncomfortable in your lower limbs, you can put a pad on your feet to elevate them. 4.When you want to sleep and then go to bed, sleep is not good when you often toss and turn in bed, the more you want to sleep, the more you can not sleep. 5, improve the sleep environment, create a sleep atmosphere, you can change the bedroom and bed sheets into soft colors. 6, the flexible use of large pillows, the mother-to-be in the waist and back to add a few large pillows to increase the lumbar support, to relieve the poor sleep due to lumbar pain. Warm tip: Sleeping position is certainly important, but do not because too entangled, as long as it is not absolutely not the way to sleep, the rest can be freely switched. Anyone can not keep a sleeping position to sleep a night, sometimes slightly turned right sleep to ease the body of sleep numbness is also possible. After all, not being able to sleep at ease and without good sleep quality is the biggest threat to the health of the baby and the mother-to-be.
