With the increase of pregnancy, the pregnant woman's body shape will also undergo greater changes, because as the uterus grows, the pregnant woman's belly will become larger, which will bring many inconveniences to daily activities. Many pregnant women pay special attention to their sleeping position when sleeping, fearing that it may affect the fetus. So how do pregnant women at four or five months sleep?
The first thing to clarify is that it is advisable for pregnant women at four to five months of age to sleep in a left lateral position, which is beneficial for the fetus in the abdomen because it can ensure sufficient blood supply and support for the fetus. If the fetus feels comfortable, it will not move around, and pregnant women can sleep well with peace of mind.
However, sleeping on the left side does not necessarily mean sleeping at a 90 degree angle, as this can easily cause pressure on the stomach. The best position for sleeping on the left side is to lie on the side at around 30 degrees, which will make the fetus feel very comfortable and the pregnant woman will not feel uncomfortable due to pressure on the stomach.
However, pregnant women cannot maintain one position throughout the entire sleep process. They can flip over and move their hands and feet halfway through. However, it is important to note that after relaxation and movement, the left lateral position should still be the main sleeping position to avoid adverse sleeping positions affecting the fetus and causing unnecessary trouble. Especially when sleeping upside down, it is easy to experience dizziness and nausea.
The left lateral sleeping position is suitable for most pregnant women, but for pregnant women with poor heart function and left uterus rotation, the right lateral sleeping position is appropriate. Therefore, each pregnant woman should adopt a sleeping position that suits her own actual situation.
