SLEEP DURING PREGNANCY – SLEEPING POSITIONS, PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

The amount of sleep and its quality not only affect you and your baby during pregnancy but it also has its repercussion on labor and delivery. Lack of sleep is often correlated with complications like pre-eclampia, premature birth and so on. Therefore, it is imperative that in case you are pregnant, you ensure adequate and quality sleep.


WHEN EXPECTING?

The sleep position that is most preferred during pregnancy is left side but even sleeping on the right side is also okay. The left side is ideal for the proper circulation, absorption of nutrition by the baby, and it also reduce swelling and optimize kidney functions. You should certainly avoid lying on your back or stomach as it disrupts blood circulation and other functions of the body due to growing uterus which tend to put pressure on other organs in the abdomen area.
