Pregnant Mothers with Skewed to the Right Sleeping position Could harm the Fetus


The pregnant women who sleep on your right or supine had a greater risk for experiencing Stillbirth (miscarriage over the age of the womb more than 20 weeks). This risk is increased to two-fold during pregnancy has entered the 3rd trimester (starting in 7th pregnancy or gestation week 29) compared to expectant mothers who choose to sleep on her left side.

The study, involving over 450 pregnant women (including 155 pregnant women had a history of previous stillbirth) found that women who sleep on your side to the left also runs the risk of miscarriage, but small, only 1.96 per 1000 births. This risk increased to 3.93 per 1000 births in women with a sleep position other than leaning to the left. And also increased slightly higher in pregnant women who slept with the supine position.

Women who had experienced stillbirth - at the age above 28 weeks gestation - have also asked about their lifestyle, compared with the first pregnant woman who gave birth to live babies.
pregnant women who peed in the evenings only 1 time or never at all are also likely to experience stillbirth compared with women who often urinate at night. And pregnant women who often take a nap also increase the risk of experiencing stillbirth.

Penilitian from the University of Auckland, New Zealand, concluded that the reduced blood flow to the baby is the cause of sleeping with a right oblique or supine position. In the sleeping position of the blood flow back from the large vein in the leg bound to the heart has decreased, so that it would also ultimately affect decreased blood supply to the uterus.

The pregnant women who still choose not recommended sleeping position should begin to impose to sleep on his side to the left when they began to feel the fetus begin to less active or less a lot of kicking in the appeal of the earlier days.

Side sleeping position to the left can not prevent all of stillbirth that occurs, so at least the mother should not feel too bad if it did, because of stillbirth can be caused by several factors which need to laiinya considered, among others:

- Bacterial infection
- Deformed fetus
- Impaired fetal growth
- Biliary disorders
- Diabetes
- High blood pressure
- Alcohol consumption, smoking, or certain drugs during pregnancy
- The gestational age was more than 42 weeks
