Patient's question:
Today I did something big in my life, gave birth to my own baby, and it was a natural birth. The baby was also healthy. I want to ask if it's okay to sleep on your side on the day of a natural birth?Doctor's answer:
You can sleep on your side on the day of a normal delivery. There are no taboos with this sleeping position, as long as you don't sleep on your stomach, don't squeeze your breasts, and don't put pressure on the baby, it's fine. Generally, you can get out of bed and move around on the second or third day after giving birth once your strength has recovered. Pay attention to keeping the local external area clean, increase your nutrition, and monitor the condition of vaginal bleeding. If there are no abnormalities, you can have a postpartum check-up at 42 days.
