After pregnancy, women must increase their rest time. Especially in the early stages of pregnancy, there may be fetal instability, and it is necessary to reduce activity and try to rest in bed as much as possible. And when threatened miscarriage occurs, in addition to intensifying treatment, bed rest is also necessary. So, why do we need to stay in bed when raising a child?
Pregnant women have a heavier physical burden and are prone to fatigue, which is very detrimental to their health and the fetus. So it is often necessary to stay in bed to raise the fetus. Pregnant women must rest even when doing light labor, even if they do not feel tired. If pregnant women are carrying twins, multiple births, or at risk of premature birth, they must rest in bed.
If women still need to work after pregnancy, they should take regular breaks. Especially when maintaining the same posture during work, one should stand up and move around after working for a period of time to relieve their fatigue.
High risk pregnant women must rest in bed more often, usually in a left lateral position, which can increase uterine placental blood flow, avoid uterine contractions, and reduce the occurrence of miscarriage and premature birth. Nowadays, many women still need to work after pregnancy and cannot rest at home. Therefore, after returning home, they should try to stay in bed as much as possible, reduce activities, and not lift heavy objects.
