Sleeping and lying down in late pregnancy can have a certain impact on both the pregnant woman and the fetus. Unlike the carefree lifestyle in early and mid pregnancy, late pregnancy pays more attention to a healthy lying position. It is said that lying on the left side of the bed is more suitable in late pregnancy. So, is it okay to occasionally lie on the right side in late pregnancy?
In fact, compared to lying flat (which is more likely to cause problems such as insufficient blood and oxygen supply to the fetus), choosing to lie on the side is more comfortable and healthy for pregnant women in the late stage of pregnancy. Moreover, most pregnant women have the problem of right-handed uterus, so choosing to lie on the left is more beneficial for most pregnant women to improve their right-handed uterus. But occasionally lying on the right is also possible. Occasionally lying on the right will not have too much impact on the fetus, as long as the pregnant woman feels comfortable in the position, there will generally not be too many problems.
Moreover, sometimes for a small number of pregnant women, there may be a situation where the uterus is left-handed, and choosing to lie on the right side can alleviate this problem to a certain extent. Therefore, for late pregnancy, as long as it is avoided as much as possible, lying on both sides is acceptable. Although lying on the left is more beneficial for the health of pregnant women and fetuses, occasionally lying on the right is also not a problem.
In late pregnancy, it is possible to occasionally lie on the right side, but unless there are special circumstances, it is generally better to choose to lie on the left side as much as possible. Occasionally, if you feel tired lying on the left side, you can switch to lying on the right side, but the time of lying on the right side should not be too long.
