Pregnant women are a very special group of people, and it takes ten months from pregnancy to childbirth. During this period, it is a great challenge for pregnant women both physically and psychologically. Therefore, attention should be paid to all aspects of pregnancy. Today, let's talk about sleeping during pregnancy. Should I sleep with the pregnant woman?
In fact, under normal circumstances, pregnant women can sleep alone and do not necessarily need someone to accompany them. However, during pregnancy, it is best to have someone at home while the pregnant woman is sleeping. This is also to ensure that in case of any unexpected situations, someone can help in a timely manner to avoid serious consequences.
The most correct sleeping position for pregnant women is to lie on the left side. Only when the sleeping position is correct can pregnant women sleep well. The heart is usually on the left side, so under normal circumstances, the compression on the heart is relatively small. The sleeping position is on the right side. But pregnant women are exactly the opposite, because as the gestational age increases, the uterus also increases. In the late stage of pregnancy, it will occupy the entire abdominal cavity, and the tissues and organs near the uterus will also be compressed. The uterus will rotate to the right accordingly, and the degree of rotation varies depending on each person's situation.
In this case, the ligaments and mesentery that protect the uterus are also affected. The function of the mesentery is to provide nutrition for the uterus. Once affected, the oxygen supply to the fetus in the womb will also be affected, which puts the fetus at risk of hypoxia. However, if pregnant women adopt a left lateral sleeping position, it can reduce the probability of right uterine rotation and alleviate the phenomenon of insufficient blood supply. A left lateral sleeping position is beneficial for both pregnant women and the fetus.
