In pregnancy, especially the
position of lying on the left side is recommended. Why not on the right side
but on the left side? Because the biggest balls pass through the middle of the
body on the right side (inferior vena cava). If it is tilted to the right side,
these balls put pressure on the vein and the amount of blood returned to the
heart decreases, which causes the amount of blood to the baby to decrease. When
lying on the right side, the swelling in the heart will decrease and swelling
in the body may increase. When lying on the left side, on the contrary, the
blood going to the placenta increases so that the baby reaches more oxygen and
nutrients. Lying to the left increases circulation in the bloodstream, reducing
swelling (edema) in the body. The most comfortable sleeping position for
pregnant women is the position where the legs are pulled towards the abdomen
lying on the left side. By lying on the left side, you can put a large pillow
on the back of your back, making it more comfortable and preventing you from
turning right while you sleep.
First 3 months, lying position:
In the first 3 months of
pregnancy, the position of lying is not important, it can be lying in any
position except face down because the uterus is small and light, so the vessels
do not press.
Lying on your back during pregnancy:
It is necessary to avoid
lying on your back, especially in the last months of pregnancy. In this
position, the uterus with all its weight puts pressure on large blood vessels,
spine, back muscles and intestines. This can cause lower back pain and
hemorrhoids. Lying on your back can cause a drop in blood pressure, sometimes
expectant mothers experience complaints such as dizziness and weakness.
Lying on your stomach during pregnancy:
You should not lie face down
during pregnancy. As can be expected, the uterus and the baby may be pressured
in this position.
