For most of the ladies, to be an expectant mother is an unforgettable and happy experience, but at the same time, it’s also hard work. Morning sickness, backache, and somnolence are also unavoidable. Therefore, having a good sleeping quality is especially crucial.

Do you know the fact that sleeping quality determines our mental and physical health to some extent, let alone pregnant women? The poor sleep of expectant mothers will directly affect the health and growth of the fetus. Conversely, adequate sleep is very important to the health of the mother, and it is also very important to the growth of the fetus. If pregnant women do not sleep well for a long time, emotional fluctuations will make their blood pressure and heartbeat abnormal, the body's internal environment will be disordered, and the secretion of various hormones will be unbalanced, which is not conducive to the growth and development of the fetus.

Adequate sleep can help relieve mental stress, enhance the function of the nervous system and immune system of pregnant mothers, and reduce the chance of postpartum depression. Enough sleep for pregnant women can replenish cell energy, avoid fatigue, and restore physical strength in time. Then, what should we do for good sleep?

First of all, expectant mothers should have special and professional pillows --- Pregnancy pillows.

Why should expectant mothers have special pillows?

When pregnant women start to feel uncomfortable because of the increased weight, they should start using pregnancy pillows. Because after pregnancy, mothers-to-be cannot use most of the support points on the back when sleeping, but only on both sides, just like sleeping on the side. The left decubitus position is a better posture, which can reduce the compression of the enlarged uterus on the aorta and iliac artery, maintain the blood flow of the normal uterine artery, ensure the blood supply to the placenta, and provide nutrients for the growth and development of the fetus.  

Moreover, the left decubitus position can reduce the compression of the pregnant uterus on the inferior vena cava and increase the blood flow back to the heart. The increase in the blood return to the heart can increase the blood flow of the kidneys, improve the blood supply to the brain tissue, and help avoid and reduce the occurrence of pregnancy-induced hypertension.

In the third trimester of pregnancy, the uterus rotates to the right, and the left side position can improve the degree of right rotation of the uterus, which can reduce the tension of the uterine blood vessels, increase the placental blood flow, improve the oxygen supply status of the fetus in the uterus, and benefit the growth and development of the fetus. This is of great significance for reducing the birth of low birth weight infants and reducing perinatal mortality. Especially when the fetus is stunted, the left side-lying position can make the treatment more effective. Therefore, pregnant women need to take the left side position for good pregnancy and childbirth, and maternal and child health.

For pregnant women with edema of lower extremities or varicose veins on their legs, it is best to properly elevate their legs while taking the left side-lying position to facilitate blood return and reduce edema of the lower extremities. At the same time, the pressure on the back will increase after pregnancy, so it is necessary to use a pregnancy pillow to relieve the pressure on the back. Moreover, pregnancy will bring many side effects, such as constipation, leg cramps, urgency, anxiety, insomnia, and so on. To deal with these problems, the doctor usually recommends that you buy a pregnancy pillow.

Classifications of pregnancy pillows

Lumbar support pillow: It is the first kind of pillow for pregnant women, and belongs to the first generation. The shape is relatively simple, mainly to protect the fragile waist of expectant mothers.

Multifunctional pillow for pregnant women: It has a complex shape and often contains multiple pillows such as belly pillows, waist pillows, leg pillows, head pillows, etc., which can be combined at will. It can relieve back pain, leg edema, and even correct sleeping posture during pregnancy.

Side pillow for pregnant women: The shape of the side pillow for pregnant women is like an ingot, with a depression in the middle and protrusions on both sides. This shape can well fix the waist of an expectant mother. And pregnant women usually tend to sleep on the left side when they sleep, this pillow fits their sleeping habits.

Factors to consider when choosing a pillow

• Choose a pillow with moderate hardness

Pregnant women are oppressed by the baby in their stomachs while sleeping, and they will often turn their bodies. Therefore, they should choose a moderately hard pillow, which makes the pillow more comfortable. A pillow that is too hard will hang the neck, and a pillow that is too soft may easily lead to poor blood circulation.

• Choose a special neck pillow

Some pregnant women are overweight, you can choose a pillow with a neck protector, which can protect the neck to the greatest extent. The neck support will relax the neck fully. It also has a certain massage effect, which helps to improve the quality of sleep.

• Choose a lighter pillow

Pregnant women’s pillows should be lighter in color or colorless so that there is no danger of color fading. Nowadays, many dark fabrics contain various harmful dyes. Long-term use is harmful to health, especially for pregnant women, try to use color-fast or light-colored pillows.

• Choose a longer pillow

Women occasionally experience tossing and turning during pregnancy. To avoid losing their heads when turning their bodies, try to choose a longer pillow so that even if the pregnant woman turns around in a wide range, the head will not be lost.

• Add a proper amount of chrysanthemums and other things to the pillow

To make pregnant women sleep better, you can add cassia, chrysanthemum, and other materials to the pillow, which is very helpful to promote sleep and improve the quality of sleep.

• Choose a pillow with good air permeability

In the hot summer, it is important to choose a pillow with good air permeability. It can not only prevent pregnant women from developing prickly heat but also make pregnant women sleep more sweetly. But try not to use mat-style pillows, which are not good for their health.
