Pregnancy calls for a great responsibility to be undertaken by a woman. This is the time when  you need to be extra careful about your health and lifestyle. Even your everyday activities would demand a change. Sleeping is also one of the vital activities that need to be taken care of during this phase. 

Many women have the tendency of sleeping on their stomach and this activity has different consequences at different stages of pregnancy.

Impact during early days of pregnancy

During the early days of pregnancy, one can sleep on stomach and the reason behind this is that your uterus nests behind the pubic bone which means that even if your stomach holds the weight of your body, it won’t harm the uterus and hence, the developing embryo won’t be harmed.

Impact during the later period of pregnancy

With the advent of pregnancy, the entire weight of the broadening uterus propels down with a direct impact on the veins. This can result in backaches, low blood pressure and even hemorrhoids.

There are several other sleeping poses that you can select other than sleeping on stomach. There are many advantages associated with other ways of sleeping and resting. Here check out some of the different positions you can opt for sleeping with their specific advantages:

• You can curl up a pillow in between your legs while sleeping on the left side. It has been scientifically proved that sleeping by your side can be very much in favor of pregnancy. If you sleep that way, especially on your left side, during your pregnancy then it would maximize the supply of blood to your developing baby.

• Support your hip-bones with a pillow and also put a pillow underneath your breast in order to embrace and support the area of stomach as well as baby in between the grip of pillows. This process significantly reduces the pressure on baby during the growth period.

• You can sleep on your left side and if it puts some unbearable pressure on your hip-bones then you can place some soft pieces of foam above the mattress and underneath it as well. This would in turn provide the required air-circulation as well as an added comfort.

• Sleeping by your side is beneficial as it significantly helps your kidneys in expelling fluid and wastes of the body as in this position these can work effectively and thereby reduce the level of swelling present in hands, on ankles or feet.

So, it's time you bring in some changes in your sleeping position too so that your baby has to fear no threat whatsoever!
