Harm of lying down during pregnancy and its improvement methods
I can tell you that lying down often during pregnancy may cause some harm to pregnant women and fetuses. The following are some possible impacts:

phlebeurysma

Lying down for a long time will increase the risk of varicose veins in lower limbs. This is because when lying flat, gravity will make blood accumulate in the lower limbs and increase the resistance of venous return.

oedema

Lying down may cause body fluids to accumulate in the lower part of the body, causing edema. This may cause swelling and discomfort in the legs, ankles and feet.

backache

Lying down for a long time may cause back muscle tension and pain. This is because when lying down, the pressure on the spine and joints will increase.

Digestive problem

Lying down may lead to acid reflux and indigestion. This is because when lying down, food and stomach acid are more likely to flow back into the esophagus.

Blood circulation problem

Lying down for a long time may affect blood circulation, resulting in uneven blood supply to all parts of the body. This may have a negative impact on fetal development and maternal health.

In order to reduce these potential hazards, I suggest that you try to avoid lying down for a long time during pregnancy. You can try the following methods to improve blood circulation and comfort: 1. Change posture frequently; 2. Use a cushion or pillow; 3. Appropriate exercise; 4. Avoid overwork.

Consult a doctor

However, every pregnant woman's situation is different. If you have any special circumstances or doubts, I suggest you consult your obstetrician or professional doctor.
