Should I lie flat as much as possible during pregnancy? What are the benefits of letting the baby lie flat?
If you lie flat in the first trimester, the impact on the fetus is relatively small. If you lie flat in the second and third trimester of pregnancy, the abdominal wall will press the uterus, affect the oxygen of the fetus, lead to hypoxia of the fetus, which is not conducive to growth and development, and may seriously affect the intellectual development of the fetus.

First, the posture of lying flat, so pregnant women must pay attention to their sleeping position during pregnancy, especially in the middle and late stages. It is best to keep the sleeping position on the side, and the lying position on the left or right side is very suitable, which can also avoid the phenomenon that the umbilical cord wraps around the neck of the fetus, and it will also be beneficial to the supply of oxygen. At this time, it is in the early pregnancy, and the development of the fetus is still not perfect. You can choose to sleep on your back, and your abdomen will not compress the uterus. But as the number of months increases, the baby will gradually increase in the womb. Blood circulation will be affected at this time. If you choose to lie flat, it will lead to hypoxia in pregnant women and fetuses, which is more dangerous.

Second, when the influence of the fetus affects the third trimester, we must pay more attention to the changes of fetal movement. If the fetal movement is too much or too little, we must pay attention to it in time. It may be fetal hypoxia, so we should also pay attention to the detection of fetal movement. If there is any abnormality, go to the hospital for examination in time to ensure the normal development of the baby. If you choose to lie flat in the second and third trimester, the baby will suffer from hypoxia and ischemia in the uterus. If the baby can't absorb nutrition, it will easily lead to malnutrition, and may even lead to fetal dysplasia or stunting.

Third, adjust your sleeping position. Therefore, it is not recommended for pregnant women to sleep on their backs during pregnancy. It is best to lie on your side, which will also help the blood circulation of the body and avoid some bad phenomena in the fetus. Usually pregnant women should also pay attention to their living habits and sleep knowledge. If you feel uncomfortable, you must adjust your posture in time and choose a comfortable posture to ensure the health of your fetus.
