The doctor will remind pregnant mothers to lie on their left side. What are the advantages of doing so?

Sleeping on the left side can ensure the sleep quality of the fetus and pregnant women, and can also provide enough oxygen for the fetus to reduce the chance of hypoxia.

First of all, it is not easy to give birth to a new life. Only after pregnancy can a woman really realize that it is not easy to be a mother. Especially in the third trimester, pregnant women's stomachs will get bigger and bigger, which is not suitable for pregnant mothers. For example, when they sleep at night, because their stomachs are very big, they often feel uncomfortable with their stomachs, have poor breathing, and will increase the frequency of urination, which will affect the sleep quality of pregnant women. If you sleep in the wrong position, it will also lead to fetal hypoxia and increase the chance of premature delivery.

Secondly, we all know that the posture of sleeping determines the quality of sleep. If you sleep comfortably, the quality of sleep will be improved. Normal people can adjust their sleeping position at will, but pregnant women may be different. After pregnancy, the female body has to undertake two arduous tasks. First of all, it bears the blood circulation of two bodies and needs more blood than normal people. Moreover, the uterus is constantly increasing, and the fetus also has some pressure on other organs of the pregnant mother. If you choose to lie on your left side or sleep on your side, it can help blood circulation, reduce the pressure of the fetus on the mother, protect other organs from oppression, and improve the sleep quality of the fetus and pregnant women. In the third trimester, the pressure is quite great. At this time, if you choose to sleep on the left side, you can avoid fetal hypoxia and provide sufficient oxygen for the fetus.

Third, not all pregnant women can sleep on their left side. The sleeping position of pregnant women is mainly determined by their physical condition. Good sleep is beneficial to the development of the fetus. If pregnant women feel uncomfortable sleeping on the left side, they can sleep on the right side and change sides back and forth, but they can't sleep on one side all the time. If they sleep on one side all the time, it will be very painful to turn over, and it will also cause poor sleep, which is very unfavorable to the fetus. If babies move frequently in their stomachs, they can sleep in a different sleeping position.
