After becoming pregnant, a woman's body carries more than just her own life. In order to ensure the health of another life, she must make changes, such as changing her original sleeping position. The sleeping posture of pregnant women can affect their own and the baby's physical condition, so mothers need to pay special attention. So, how many months of pregnancy do you start sleeping on your side? Let's take a look together.
1. In the early stages of pregnancy (1-3 months), the fetus develops in the uterus and remains in the mother's pelvic cavity. Direct external pressure or self pressure is not very heavy, so the sleeping position of the pregnant woman can be arbitrary, mainly adopting comfortable positions such as supine or lateral position.
2. Bad sleeping postures such as sleeping on your stomach or hugging something should be changed. During mid pregnancy (4-7 months), attention should be paid to protecting the abdomen and avoiding direct external forces.
3. If a pregnant woman has excessive amniotic fluid or twin pregnancy, she should adopt a lateral sleeping position, which can make the pregnant woman more comfortable. Other sleeping positions may cause compression symptoms.
4. If pregnant women feel heavy in their lower limbs, they can adopt a supine position and slightly raise their lower limbs with a soft pillow. In the late stage of pregnancy (8-10 months), lying down is particularly important during this period.
5. The sleeping position of pregnant women is closely related to the safety of both themselves and the fetus. It is advisable to adopt a left lateral position, which can correct the right-handed enlargement of the uterus, reduce the pressure of the uterus on the abdominal aorta and iliac artery, improve blood circulation, increase blood supply to the fetus, and promote fetal growth and development.
Pregnant women need to make corresponding changes at different stages of pregnancy. Therefore, the sleeping position of pregnant women varies depending on the time of pregnancy. I hope that after reading the analysis above, everyone can have a clear answer about how many months of pregnancy they start sleeping on their side, and adjust their sleeping posture in a timely manner, which is beneficial for both themselves and the fetus.
