How to rest in bed during pregnancy

Pregnant women can adjust their posture at will and rest in the left side lying position when resting in bed. The specific knowledge needs to be decided according to the period of pregnancy. The chosen bed rest posture will also vary depending on the length of pregnancy.

1. Adjust your posture at will: In the early stages of pregnancy, when the sperm and egg have just combined to form a fertilized egg, it will gradually move into the uterus and implant in the uterus. In the first three months of pregnancy, the growth and development of the embryo is not particularly obvious, and there will be no severe abdominal protrusion. At this time, as long as you do not press on the abdomen, you can arrange your posture at will and rest as you feel comfortable. If placenta previa occurs after pregnancy, you need to raise your hips when resting in bed. This will help the placenta move upward. The specific bed rest posture can also be adjusted under the guidance of a doctor to benefit your personal health and the healthy growth and development of the embryo.

2. Left side lying position: As the pregnancy time increases, it will enter the middle and late stages of pregnancy. As the fetus grows, the abdomen continues to grow. If you lie flat, it may affect blood circulation and cause pressure on the lumbar spine and lower limbs. At this time, you need to choose left side lying position, which can help relieve abdominal pressure and speed up blood circulation. If there is swelling in the lower limbs, you need to raise your legs while lying on your left side, which can help blood return. It is best not to lie flat in the late pregnancy.
