Does the baby's torticollis have anything to do with her sleeping position during pregnancy?

I was chatting with a friend the other day. She said that she is now in the hospital and has received many torticollis babies. In the past, this situation was rare, but in recent years, the number of torticollis babies has increased significantly. The most obvious symptom of these babies is that their heads always lean to one side, and some babies can even touch the mass on the side of their necks. Why on earth is this?

Before answering this question, I want to ask pregnant mothers a question. How do pregnant mothers sleep during pregnancy? Presumably, many pregnant mothers will answer: "It must be sleeping on the left side. Isn't sleeping on the left side the best sleeping position during pregnancy?" Not only can it reduce the heart pressure of pregnant women, but it can also speed up the blood flow of uterus and placenta, ensure the nutrition and oxygen supply of the fetus, etc. Isn't it good? " Although this posture is good, keeping this sleeping posture for a long time will affect the activities of the fetus in the pregnant mother's stomach. Those babies with torticollis are all caused by improper sleeping posture of pregnant mothers during pregnancy.

I believe that at this point, many pregnant mothers are a little panicked, and lying on the left side is not the best sleeping position? So how do you sleep? Don't panic, pregnant mothers. Let's talk to pregnant mothers about how to sleep during pregnancy.

When pregnant mothers are pregnant, the fetus will continue to grow and develop, and the uterus will gradually enlarge. In normal times, pregnant mothers can adopt appropriate sleeping posture according to their own situation. In fact, in the early and second trimester, pregnant mothers can go to sleep at will, as long as they don't feel any discomfort, they can lie on their side at will. In the third trimester, you don't have to lie on your left side all the time. As long as you don't lie on your back, pregnant mothers feel that what position is more comfortable to sleep, then how to sleep.

pregnant mothers should pay attention to some situations when they sleep during pregnancy, such as the following sleeping positions:

1. Lying on your back

During pregnancy, pregnant mothers had better not use this sleeping position. Because when lying on your back, the enlarged uterus will compress the veins in the inferior cavity, affecting the blood circulation of pregnant mothers, and it is easy for pregnant mothers to have edema or varicose veins in their lower limbs and vulva. In addition, when pregnant mothers lie on their backs, their blood vessels will be twisted due to the right rotation of the uterus, which will hinder the delivery of nutrients, and then the fetus will not get enough nutrition, causing fetal hypoxia and malnutrition.

2. Prone posture < P > Presumably, all pregnant mothers will not adopt it, and they will go to sleep in a prone position with a big belly. This is not harmful to the fetus, but whether it is the same thing.

3. Bad sleep habits

Pregnant mothers must get rid of bad sleep habits when they sleep. For example, sleeping with your hands on your pillow, sleeping with your head covered, or breathing through your mouth while sleeping, etc., are all very harmful to your health. Sleeping with your hands on your pillow will affect the blood circulation of the pregnant mother's upper limbs, which will cause numbness of the upper limbs, thus increasing the pressure in the abdominal cavity and affecting the baby. If you cover your head, the air in the quilt is very poor and there is a lot of carbon dioxide, which affects the oxygen supply to your baby. If you sleep with your mouth open, you will inhale harmful substances such as dust in the air, which is also very unfavorable to your health.

pregnant mothers should know how to sleep and how not to sleep during pregnancy. After all, if you don't sleep well, it will not only affect your body, but also endanger the growth of the fetus. Do pregnant mothers remember all the above?
