Dream - In a pregnant condition, a mother certainly needs to make many adjustments due to physical changes and body conditions that are very different from before pregnancy. One of them is the sleeping position.
Entering the third trimester of pregnancy or 8 months, the condition of the stomach is already very big. The mother will try various positions to be able to sleep soundly. It turns out there is a sleeping position that should not be done, which is lying on the back.
When pregnant, sleeping in a supine position can be dangerous for both the mother and the fetus. Why? "Sleeping on your back will put pressure on the main vein in the back of the body called the inferior vena cava," said Dr. Aldi, an obstetrician and gynecologist specialist.
Vena cava inferior, according to the explanation from Dr. Aldi, functions to carry the blood flow from the entire body back to the heart. If there is pressure on the inferior vena cava, specifically from the enlarging uterus during pregnancy, then the blood flow will decrease.
The translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags is as follows: "The effect is that the blood flow to the heart will also decrease. This condition will also reduce the blood flow to the mother's body circulation. "Finally, it can also endanger the fetus by reducing the blood flow to the uterus and the fetus," said Dr. Aldi."
It is recommended to sleep in a left lateral position during pregnancy. By sleeping facing the left side, the vena cava will not be compressed and it is safer for the circulation of the mother and the fetus.
"It can provide sufficient optimal blood flow so that the blood flow to the uterus will ultimately be optimal," said Dr. Aldi."
No need to keep facing left all the time, pregnant women can also face right but not for too long. As much as possible, avoid sleeping on your back.
"To be more comfortable, try supporting your back while sleeping with a pillow or bolster to prevent it from being too heavy and stiff. You can also use a special long pillow for pregnant women that wraps around your body for a more peaceful and quality sleep. Source: @dr_aldi_obgyn"
