Is the reason for the fetus turning over because the mother turns over?

The fetus generally does not turn over when it is in the mother's womb. Even if the mother turns over, the fetus will not feel a strong vibration due to the protection of the amniotic fluid. However, if a pregnant woman turns over frequently during sleep, it will have a certain impact on the fetus. For example, the umbilical cord of the fetus may be wrapped around the neck. In severe cases, it may cause developmental delay of the fetus. In addition, it is best for pregnant women to sleep on their left side.

1. When the mother turns over, will the baby in the womb also turn over or be woken up ?

In addition to the presence of the fetus in the pregnant mother's uterus, there is also an important protective layer, which is amniotic fluid. The amniotic fluid in the uterus will keep the fetus suspended in the mother's belly, independent of the pregnant mother's body. When the pregnant mother's abdomen is under external pressure, the amniotic fluid will reduce the pressure and reduce the discomfort of the fetus. Simply put, the amniotic fluid is a shock absorber for the fetus. Therefore, when the mother turns over, the baby in the womb can only feel a slight shaking. This shaking will make the baby sleep more soundly and will not make the baby turn over.

2. Why should pregnant women sleep on their left side?

The uterus is generally tilted to the right. In the late pregnancy, if the expectant mother lies on her right side or on her back, it will compress the veins, causing poor blood flow and insufficient oxygen. Although the amniotic fluid protects the fetus and keeps it suspended in the uterus, the fetus needs blood and oxygen supply at all times. Sleeping on the left side just solves the tendency of the uterus to tilt to the right, and is more conducive to the placenta to provide blood and nutrients.

3. What are the dangers of pregnant mothers turning over all the time when sleeping?

Although the fetus is protected by amniotic fluid, it does not mean that the pregnant mother can turn over at will because there is still the umbilical cord in the uterus. An occasional turning over will not cause serious consequences, but frequent turning over may cause the umbilical cord to wrap around the neck, which is a very serious matter for the fetus.

1. Pregnant mothers are no strangers to the umbilical cord around the neck, which is something many expectant mothers will encounter. It refers to the umbilical cord being wrapped around the fetus' neck. If the degree of entanglement is light and the number of circles is small, the development of the fetus will not be harmed, and it can usually be untangled as the baby grows.

2. If the umbilical cord is wrapped too tightly, the remaining length will be insufficient and there will be no room for maneuver. It will be difficult for the fetus to get out by itself and the baby may suffer from hypoxia and developmental delay. Therefore, after the belly becomes more obvious during pregnancy, the expectant mother should not turn over too frequently to avoid unnecessary trouble.
