In the important period of late pregnancy, the pregnant mother's belly is getting bigger and bigger. At this time, the sleeping posture of the pregnant mother becomes particularly important because a little carelessness can affect the baby in the belly. So, is it okay to sleep upwards in late pregnancy?
Sleeping positions in late pregnancy should not be supine or right lateral. This is because sleeping in a supine or right lateral position can compress the inferior vena cava, affecting blood circulation and reducing blood circulation in the lower limbs; The sleeping position on the right side can affect the blood supply to the fetus, causing chronic hypoxia and serious effects on the fetus. Therefore, in late pregnancy, it is advisable to avoid sleeping in a supine or right-sided position. Of course, it is unlikely to maintain only one sleeping position throughout the night. You can alternate between lying on your left and right sides.
The best sleeping position in late pregnancy is on the left side, which helps to change the uterus to the right, reduce uterine vascular tension, ensure placental blood flow, and promote fetal development. In addition to adopting the correct sleeping posture, it is also important to ensure sufficient sleep. Doctors suggest that pregnant women should maintain at least 9-10 hours of sleep in the late stages of pregnancy, and maintain the best sleep quality to develop regular sleep habits.
Late pregnancy sleep not only requires attention to the best sleeping position, but also a good sleeping environment to reduce the occurrence of insomnia and other phenomena. Ensuring a good indoor environment and choosing comfortable bedding are beneficial for promoting the quality of sleep for pregnant women.
