When pregnant women enter the middle and late stages of pregnancy, many doctors usually recommend sleeping on the left side during prenatal check ups. However, for pregnant women who are already accustomed to sleeping on the right side, this is a difficult thing to change. But many pregnant women are worried that sleeping on the right side for a long time may be harmful to the fetus. So, can we sleep on the right side at eight months of pregnancy?
Sleeping on the right side of the uterus is generally acceptable in August, but it cannot be maintained for a long time because during pregnancy, if the uterus is in a right-handed position, long-term sleeping on the right side may cause the left side of the uterus to rotate, leading to tension in the ligaments and mesentery of the uterus, causing blood vessels to be pulled, affecting the blood supply to the fetus, and may also cause chronic hypoxia in the fetus.
It is recommended to sleep on the left side during pregnancy, but if there is numbness or pain in the body, you can also choose to lie on the right side or supine. Try not to force yourself too much and adopt a comfortable sleeping position. During normal times, you can walk more and choose a place with a better environment. Try not to choose crowded streets to avoid inhaling too much car exhaust.
When walking normally, it is important to maintain the correct posture and relax the shoulders, which is beneficial for preventing varicose veins. It is also important to maintain a balanced diet. Eating foods that contain protein, fatty acids, and calcium can supplement the body's necessary nutrients.
