Generally, pregnant women are recommended to sleep in the left lateral position, and the specific angle is personal comfort. There is no research on the harm of the left lateral position 90 to pregnant women. Some pregnant women may have frequent fetal movements in the left lateral position, so they can be changed to the right lateral position.
In the early and middle stages of pregnancy, because the fetus is relatively small, the uterus does not obviously compress the inferior vena cava of pregnant women, so pregnant women can choose their own comfortable posture to sleep in these two stages. However, in the third trimester of pregnancy, the uterus will be enlarged, and the oppression on the inferior vena cava of pregnant women will be obvious. If you sleep in supine position, there may be hypotension in supine position, resulting in chest tightness, palpitation and shortness of breath, and you can't sleep. Therefore, it is recommended to sleep in the left lateral position in the third trimester.
In the third trimester, with the growth and development of the fetus and the enlargement of the uterus, there will be physiological right rotation of the uterus, and the right side of the pregnant woman will have obvious oppression. Long-term compression of the right inferior vena cava may cause hydronephrosis on the right side, so it is not recommended to sleep on the right side for a long time. However, some people's fetal movement is particularly obvious when sleeping in the left lateral position, and they can also sleep in the right lateral position. After all, there are differences between people, and they still need to be adjusted according to their actual situation.
It is suggested that women should sleep in the left position in the third trimester of pregnancy to relieve the discomfort caused by uterine compression and the edema caused by compression. At the same time, it can raise the lower limbs, promote the blood circulation of the lower limbs and relieve the symptoms of edema.

It is generally recommended that pregnant mothers must sleep in the left lateral position during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, which can reduce the oppressive feeling caused by increasing the uterus and improve the physiological right rotation of the uterus.
The left lying position mentioned above generally means that the left side is about 30-45 degrees. If it is completely 90 degrees, pregnant women will feel a series of discomfort. In this regard, pregnant mothers can choose auxiliary pillows or special pregnant women's pillows to help them. In this case, pregnant mothers in the third trimester will have a good sleep, or they can alternate left and right to relieve fatigue, but remember not to sleep flat.
Check-up on time, reasonable diet and nutrition, regular work and rest, and pay attention to exercise.
Pregnant women's stomachs will increase with the increase of gestational age, especially in the third trimester. The left lateral position of pregnant women is harmless to both pregnant women and the fetus, because the left lateral position is not only a comfortable position for pregnant women to sleep, but also beneficial to the growth and development of the fetus. But the left lateral position mentioned here is not a 90-degree lateral sleep. So what is the harm of 90-degree sleep for pregnant women?
The harm of lying 90 degrees on the left side of pregnant women
In fact, lying 90 degrees on the left is not the best sleeping position. Sometimes sleeping at 90 degrees on the left can't be more comfortable, but it will be more tired. 15 degrees or 30 degrees is more suitable for pregnant women and babies. Of course, the left-side lying position at this angle is not very stable. Pregnant women can raise their pillows or lean their pillows under their bodies to make their sleep more stable.
Pregnant woman lying on her left side
Different gestational weeks, pregnant women's sleeping positions should be different. Let's take a look!
1, early pregnancy. During this period, the oppression of external forces is not great, so pregnant women can choose which posture to sleep at will. The key is to give priority to the comfort of pregnant women, but if pregnant women are used to sleeping on their stomachs, then it is best to get rid of it.
2, the second trimester. In the second trimester, the stomach will gradually become bigger, and the protection of the abdomen is very important at this time. Pregnant women can sleep on their side, which will not only be more comfortable, but also won't compress their abdomen. If the pregnant woman's lower limbs are heavy, she can take a supine posture or use a pillow to cushion the lower limbs.
3. Late pregnancy. In this period, the sleeping position of pregnant women is very important. It is best to choose to lie on the left side, which is beneficial to the growth and development of the fetus.
I don't know what other people's homes are like. My child's left ear is crushed, and there is a big difference between the right side and the left side. When there is nothing to do in the full moon, he will lick his ear. [Covering your face] You haven't got up yet [Covering your face]
Lying on the left side of the pregnant woman is good for the baby. In the third trimester, the fetus is bigger, and the burden on the pregnant woman is heavier. Lying on the left side can reduce the right rotation of the uterus, and the baby has more room to move and more fetal movements. Lying on the left side can also increase the baby's blood supply. Of course, you don't have to rest on the left side all night, but you can rest in other positions for a short time. Of course, if you are really uncomfortable lying on the left side and can't sleep, it will affect your sleep. You'd better not sleep on the left side. I slept casually in the first trimester, and I slept on my left side since the second trimester, so that I am still used to sleeping on my left side after giving birth. How to sleep mainly depends on the individual, try to sleep on the left side, and there is no study that it is not good for children if they don't sleep on the left side.
The above is purely personal.
Hello, lying on the left side during pregnancy is good for both mother and baby, especially in the third trimester. However, this is not a mandatory requirement. You don't have to sleep on the left side. It depends mainly on your sleeping habits. Comfort is enough. At present, there is no relevant research on the harm of lying on the left side of pregnant women at 90 degrees. If you have uncomfortable symptoms, you can sleep on the right side.
In the second and third trimester of pregnancy, we must pay attention to choosing a good posture. It is best not to keep a posture unchanged often, and don't sit for a long time, which may also affect the blood circulation of the body and lead to various diseases. During pregnancy, you should also avoid strenuous exercise, avoid long-term fatigue, and have a balanced diet.

During pregnancy, you should pay attention to the timely birth check-up, and check the baby's development and mother's physical condition in time. You can ask Guoma customer service for a complete book of birth check-up, which introduces the birth check-up in detail, and you can get it free of charge.
There is no fixed degree, although it is suggested that it is better to lie on the left side from the second trimester to the production, which is not absolute and varies from person to person. Like myself, I was lying on my left side and felt difficult to breathe, so I lay on my right side most of the time. I also asked the doctor, and the doctor said that it is better to lie on the left side only, and it is necessary to come as comfortable as you feel according to your own situation. But lying flat is definitely not recommended.
