A pregnant woman suddenly trembles while sleeping

Whether pregnant women or normal people, they will experience sudden shaking when sleeping. This is a relatively normal phenomenon and pregnant women do not need to worry too much. However, in order to ensure that the baby can develop and grow healthily and comfortably in their belly, pregnant mothers must adopt the correct sleeping position when sleeping. The sleeping positions in early, mid and late pregnancy are different.

1. How to sleep in early pregnancy

In the early stages of pregnancy, the fetus develops in the uterus and is still in the mother's pelvic cavity. Direct external pressure or self-pressure will not be very severe, so the sleeping posture of the pregnant woman can be arbitrary, mainly adopting a comfortable position, such as lying on her back or lying on her side.

However, if you have bad sleeping positions such as sleeping on your stomach or hugging something, you should change them as soon as possible.

2. What to do if you can’t sleep well during the second trimester of pregnancy

Many pregnant women have trouble sleeping during the second trimester, which is also related to incorrect sleeping posture. What is the correct sleeping position during pregnancy? When pregnant women sleep in the second trimester, they should pay attention to protecting their abdomen and avoid direct external force.

If a pregnant woman has too much amniotic fluid or is pregnant with twins, she should sleep on her side, which can make her more comfortable. Other sleeping positions will cause compression symptoms.

If a pregnant woman feels that her lower limbs are heavy, she can sleep on her back and slightly raise her lower limbs with a soft pillow.

3. What is the best sleeping position in late pregnancy?

Sleeping posture is very important in the late pregnancy, and lying sleeping posture is particularly important, because the sleeping posture of pregnant women is important to their own safety and the safety of the fetus.

In the late pregnancy, it is appropriate to sleep on the left side. This sleeping position can correct the right rotation of the enlarged uterus, reduce the pressure of the uterus on the abdominal aorta and iliac arteries, improve blood circulation, increase blood supply to the fetus, and is beneficial to the growth and development of the fetus.

It is not advisable to sleep on your back during the late pregnancy. When sleeping in the supine position, the huge uterus compresses the inferior vena cava, reducing the amount of blood returning to the heart and cardiac output, resulting in hypotension. Pregnant women may feel dizzy, palpitations, nausea, shortness of breath, and may also become pale, have weak limbs, and break out in cold sweats. If the above symptoms occur, you should immediately sleep on your left side. Your blood pressure will gradually return to normal and the symptoms will disappear.
