What is the correct sleeping position and sitting position of pregnant women?

As the fetus grows up day by day in the womb, the pregnant mother's belly is getting bigger and bigger. What sleeping position should pregnant women take? How can pregnant women sit most comfortably?

You can sleep at will in the first trimester.

In the early pregnancy (1-3 months), the fetus still lives in the maternal pelvic cavity, and the direct external pressure or self pressure is not very heavy, so the sleeping posture of pregnant women can be arbitrary, mainly taking comfortable positions, such as supine position and lateral position. If you sleep on your stomach or with your arms around you, you should change your bad sleeping posture.

Sleep on your side in the second trimester.

During the second trimester of pregnancy (4-7 months), we should pay attention to protecting the abdomen and avoid the direct effect of external forces. If pregnant women have polyhydramnios or twin pregnancy, they should sleep in the lateral position, which can make pregnant women more comfortable, and other sleeping positions will produce oppression symptoms. If pregnant women feel that their lower limbs are heavy, they can take a supine position and raise their lower limbs slightly with a soft pillow.

Correct sitting posture of pregnant women sitting in chairs

Sit on 1 2, which is almost the seat surface, and then slowly move the lower body until the back is tightly against the chair back, stretching the back muscles. Keep your legs together to avoid backache.

Correct sitting posture of pregnant women sitting on the floor

When the pregnant woman's abdomen is getting bigger and bigger, when sitting on the floor, a cushion must be placed under her hips to maintain a good sense of balance and be more comfortable. If you sit on your side, make your waist parallel and put a cushion on the inclined side.

Sometimes I wake up and find that many female friends feel bloated. Why? Edema is often a signal of heart disease, liver disease, kidney disease, endocrine and other diseases, but some edema is not a manifestation of the disease, but a physiological reaction.

Cause of edema 1: premenstrual edema.

Symptoms: Some healthy women have mild edema of eyelids, back of hands, feet and ankles one week or half before menstruation, or accompanied by breast swelling and pain, heavy pelvic cavity, and neurosis symptoms such as irritability, insomnia, fatigue and headache.

This kind of edema is related to the changes of menstrual cycle and endocrine function, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. When menstruation comes, symptoms such as increased urination and edema can gradually subside.

Cause 2 of edema: edema with unbalanced nutrition.

Symptoms: Some people with heavy eating habits often have edema of lower limbs.

We have been emphasizing the "low-salt" diet, but some people just don't pay attention to it. When there is too much salt in the diet and some minerals are lacking, it is easy to cause malnutrition edema. If there is any chronic disease, it will be even more troublesome.

Causes of edema: edema with poor blood circulation.

Symptoms: Some middle-aged women, after getting up in the morning, suddenly find that their faces are fat, their eyelids and faces are slightly swollen, and the skin of their lower limbs is sunken or tight.

The phenomenon of facial edema often occurs in people with poor blood circulation and metabolism, which leads to poor blood circulation system. It is too late to discharge the excess wastewater in the body, and the water stays in the capillaries and even seeps back into the skin, resulting in swelling and edema. This edema will slowly and automatically subside after getting up for a period of time.
