What sleeping position is good for pregnant women

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The best sleeping position for pregnant women is the left lateral position, especially during the later stages of pregnancy. This is because the left lateral position reduces the pressure of the pregnant uterus on the aorta and iliac arteries, maintaining normal tension and ensuring adequate blood perfusion to the placenta. It helps prevent conditions such as lower limb edema, varicose veins, and poor fetal development in pregnant women.
