Mid-pregnancy sleeping position

Experts suggest that the best sleeping position for pregnant women is to lie on the left side with the legs bent. This avoids compression of the inferior vena cava (which is responsible for the important task of transporting venous blood from various parts of the uterus back to the heart and replenishing nutrients) and ensures smooth blood circulation.

Some pregnant women are easily awakened from sleep, and you can try putting a pillow on the back. Some people feel better when they place the pillow on other areas, such as the abdomen, chest, buttocks, or between the legs. Some people use several pillows at the same time, or use a folded quilt or blanket, the exact method varies from person to person.

If you easily roll over and sleep on your back at night, don't worry too much, because rolling over is your body's natural adjustment to find a more comfortable sleeping position.

Precautions in the second trimester

Be aware of some changes in your body during pregnancy

During the second trimester, pregnancy can bring some discomfort to your body, such as dizziness, dry eyes, and stomach acid is also common in pregnant women. Varicose veins and hemorrhoids sometimes knock on the door during pregnancy. How to relieve these pains and let yourself have a pleasant and comfortable pregnancy?

Precautions 1: Blood pressure in the second trimester

During pregnancy, the blood pressure of most pregnant mothers will drop to varying degrees, especially in the second trimester, when the blood pressure will drop to the lowest level. Due to the need to provide adequate blood to the fetus, the mother's blood circulation system changes, and the heart rate begins to increase. Therefore, when the pregnant mother's position suddenly changes, such as sitting and standing up suddenly, she will feel dizzy. If this happens, be sure to tell your doctor during the exam, as some expectant mothers find elevated blood pressure during obstetric exams, which can be a symptom of gestational hypertension. At this time, the doctor will be especially careful to prevent the pregnant mother from being in danger before giving birth.

Note 2: Headache in the second trimester

Once a headache starts, it's often difficult to find the cause right away. Therefore, it is recommended that expectant mothers must take a detailed medical history before diagnosis and treatment, conduct a comprehensive physical examination and targeted auxiliary examinations, and cooperate with doctors to make correct diagnosis and treatment.

Note 3: abdominal pain in the second trimester

Pregnant women often complain of abdominal pain during pregnancy, or experience occasional abdominal discomfort. While abdominal pain during pregnancy may be harmless, it can also signal a serious problem. Severe or persistent abdominal pain during pregnancy should never be taken lightly!

Note 4: Low back pain in mid-pregnancy

If your low back pain is mild, you can perform home massage exercises at home. At this time, it is an excellent time for the father-to-be to show his hospitality. He quickly learns a few professional and authentic massage techniques and gives his beloved wife regular sweet massages every day. In addition, local hot compresses, such as hot towels, gauze and hot water bags, can also be used to relieve pain for half an hour every day.

Note 5: Rib pain in the second trimester

This is caused by the growing uterus pushing up on the ribs. In fact, rib pain can be relieved by simply extending your arm over your head.
