Sleep Position During Pregnancy". May it be useful for all of us.
In
the early trimester of
pregnancy, pregnant women can
sleep in any position that can provide comfort for themselves, because the stomach
has not enlarged. Pregnant women usually start to worry when entering the
second trimester. But actually pregnant women do not need to worry.
Why? Because the mother's body is
actually created so unique that it can provide protection. In addition, for the
fetus in the womb pregnant women never feel uncomfortable because its existence
floats in amniotic fluid and has its own space to move freely. Even so,
pregnant women must also be careful in choosing a sleeping position, such as
the following tips:
Sleep
on your stomach
This position is actually quite
safe for pregnant women. But usually after the first trimester of pregnancy,
because of breast enlargement and also more sensitive breast stimulation will
cause discomfort to sleep on your stomach. And at the moment when your stomach
has begun to enlarge (early 14 weeks) sleeping on your stomach becomes very
uncomfortable because you have to support your thighs with pillows to be able
to sleep on your stomach because the stomach is starting to grow.
Sleep
on your back
This position is recommended
after 16 weeks of pregnancy pregnant women not to sleep on their backs, because
by sleeping on your back you will put the entire weight of the uterus to the
back, intestines, and inferior vena cava. Sleeping on your back can also
increase the risk of lumbago, hemorrhoids, and digestive disorders, and
interfere with breathing and circulation. The position of sleeping on your back
in the second and third trimesters can also affect blood pressure. For some
women, it can cause a drop in blood that makes them feel dizzy, for others it
even increases blood pressure. In the case of pregnancy with high blood
pressure, sleeping in the supine position is not recommended.
Sleep
on your side
Then what is the best sleeping
position? Until now there has been no further research on safe sleeping
positions for pregnant women. But it is highly recommended after 16 weeks of
pregnancy, pregnant women should sleep on the left side, because this position
gives an advantage for your baby to get maximum blood flow and nutrients to the
placenta because of the presence of a large vein (inferior vena cava) in the back
right side of the svina that restores blood flow to the lower body to the
heart. which can also help the kidneys to remove residual products and fluids
from the mother's body thereby reducing swelling in the feet, wrists of the
feet and hands.
Sleeping position to the right is
also good. You can change the position to the right and left to make you sleep
more comfortably.
If you wake up during the night and find that you are sleeping on
your back, you should not worry because you are not doing anything that harms
your baby. Just go back to the tilted position. Moreover, in late pregnancy,
where the stomach has enlarged, accompanied by other conditions such as cramps,
frequent urination, false contractions, babies who kick the stomach, increased
stomach acid that will cause pregnant women to wake up several times at night,
because pregnant women will certainly change their sleeping position several
times and automatically do not continue to sleep on their backs.
