The fetus is getting bigger and bigger in the second trimester. When sleeping, what sleeping position is more comfortable and beneficial to development?

Everyone knows that pregnant women are very demanding, can't use cosmetics, and even have requirements for sleeping position. No matter what kind of sleeping position ordinary people use, as long as they are comfortable, it is not so simple for expectant mothers during pregnancy. The best sleeping position is needed in the second trimester of pregnancy, which is beneficial to the healthy growth of the fetus. So what sleeping position is good for the fetus in the second trimester?

Experts say that the second trimester is also divided into the first half and the second half. When pregnant for four months, the uterus has not yet come out of the pelvic cavity, so the posture and posture often used are more common. Generally, after the fifth month or 28 weeks, because the uterus is gradually enlarged, if the lying-in woman adopts supine position for a long time, it will compress the inferior vena cava.

The best sleeping position in the second trimester: in the second trimester, pregnant women have a load on their stomachs. If they sleep in the sleeping position of ordinary people, it does not conform to the physiological anatomy of the human body. Therefore, it is best for pregnant women to lie on their left side. Because the inferior vena cava on the right side of the spine in the posterior abdominal cavity is responsible for the blood circulation from the lower limbs to the heart, lying on the back or on the right side will compress the inferior vena cava, causing edema, paralysis and even cramps of the lower limbs, so pregnant women should choose the best sleeping position.

Experts say that the best sleeping position for pregnant women in the second trimester is the left lateral position, which can make the right-handed uterus turn straight, thus reducing the resulting fetal position and abnormal delivery. It can also avoid the oppression of the uterus on the inferior vena cava, increase the blood volume of pregnant women, reduce edema, improve the blood perfusion of the uterus and placenta, help reduce premature delivery, and contribute to the healthy growth and development of the fetus.

Matters needing attention in the second trimester 1. Living habits: In terms of exercise, you can do light exercise in the morning and evening, such as walking and gymnastics, but you should avoid strenuous exercise and heavy physical labor to avoid adverse effects on the fetus. Regular work and rest, adequate sleep and full spirit are not only conducive to fetal development, but also help pregnant women to have enough energy to cope with some possible situations during pregnancy.

2, away from pets: expectant mothers in the second trimester should also stay away from pets to avoid Toxoplasma infection, otherwise it will infect the fetus, bringing about abortion, stillbirth, intrauterine growth retardation, fetal malformation and other hazards.

3. Prenatal check-up on time: prenatal check-up should also be carried out on time in the second trimester, so as to understand the development of the fetus and the physical condition of the pregnant woman, find out some possible accidents in time, such as abnormal fetal position and pregnancy complications, and deal with them in time to avoid some dangers.
