But pay attention not only to diet and mood, but also to sleep. You can't stay up late, you can't catch cold, and there is a special requirement: you can't lie flat, it's best to lie on your left side.
I can understand the feelings of expectant mothers. Pregnancy makes expectant mothers feel restricted and have no freedom. Even the most relaxing sleep time is stipulated by sleeping position. Of course, she will feel a little wronged.
Doctors generally advise expectant mothers not to lie flat when they sleep, preferably on their left side, but often many expectant mothers can't lie on their left side when they sleep, but if they get up in the morning and lie on their right side, some will be scared. But there is a reason why doctors don't let expectant mothers lie flat.
Lying flat is not only bad for the fetus, but also bad for yourself.
Expectant mothers during pregnancy should not only consider the comfort of their own sleep, but also consider the comfort of the baby treasure.
Doctors usually tell you not to lie flat, but they don't say why.
1 When lying flat, the baby is more prone to lack of oxygen.
Just like me, the baby just lacks oxygen, so he uses fetal movement to give me a "warning" to tell you that he is not feeling well.
When lying flat, the stomach is affected by gravity and the fat is pressed down, so it will cause strong oppression on the uterus. The fatter the pregnant woman, the stronger the oppression on the uterus and the stronger the oppression on the fetus. This will lead to the baby's lack of oxygen, and the extremely uncomfortable baby may shake or kick his mother violently in an attempt to break free.
Under violent shaking, Baobao may be entangled with the umbilical cord of the only small partner in the belly, so that the umbilical cord will be wrapped around the neck. If it is wrapped around the neck, violent shaking may be tighter and aggravate the baby's suffocation.
2 When lying flat, expectant mothers may have poor breathing, hypoxia and edema of lower limbs.
When lying flat, due to the protruding abdomen and poor blood circulation, it will not only make the baby feel crowded, but also make the expectant mother feel more oppressed. Because the weight of the baby treasure is completely on the mother's stomach. Under the action of gravity, the towering abdomen will squeeze the expectant mother's lungs more, leading to poor breathing, dizziness and nausea, inability to sleep, and severe hypoxia and palpitation.
When lying flat, the blood circulation of expectant mothers will become blocked, which will easily lead to edema of lower limbs.
③ It may also affect the baby's development in the mother's stomach.
Lying flat will not only squeeze the baby, affect the expectant mother, but also squeeze the placenta. As we all know, the placenta is like an inhalation port, which provides a steady stream of blood for the baby, but when the placenta is squeezed, there will be insufficient blood supply. Not only that, the placenta is also responsible for the transfer of nutrition and the transfer of fetal metabolic waste. The transmission efficiency of squeezing placenta may be reduced, thus affecting the development of fetus.
However, not all expectant mothers will have such a situation when lying flat, which may be more concentrated in women who are seriously obese during pregnancy. But for the sake of the fetus, it is best not to lie flat and fall asleep.
The doctor will suggest that it is best to sleep on the left side, but many expectant mothers are not used to lying on the left side, and some babies will move when their mothers lie on the left side, so they are not forced to lie on the side.
It's just that lying on the left side of the bed is better than lying on the right side, because most women's uterus is right-handed, so lying on the left side can be corrected slightly.
Expectant mothers don't have to be so rigid. In order to have a good sleep, expectant mothers should finally learn how to sleep, and there is no need to be so rigid.
In the first trimester, sleep as much as you want.
At the beginning of pregnancy, expectant mothers may feel weak because of early pregnancy reaction, so they should have a good rest. Fortunately, there is no requirement for sleeping position at this time. Expectant mothers should sleep comfortably and sleep as much as they want.
In the second trimester, you may need a pillow.
The second trimester is a period of rapid growth and development of the baby. The expectant mother's stomach is bulging day by day, and she must not sleep, but the expectant mother has no other requirements except sleeping. But at this time, you can start to prepare more pillows, because with the growing belly, expectant mothers may feel backache when they sleep.
During this period, the baby will tell you with fetal movement that if you press him, he will kick you. So, you can feel the fetal movement, how can he calm down, then how can you sleep?
In the third trimester, at this time, sleep is to fight a tough battle.
The belly in the third trimester is very big. Of course, although some thin expectant mothers are not much older, they still feel uncomfortable lying down, especially when lying on their left side. However, expectant mothers should try to sleep on the left side, but if the baby moves badly when lying on the left side, then sleep on the right side and always know that it is best not to lie flat. Expectant mothers can sleep alternately left and right to find a comfortable posture for themselves and their babies.
