Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me if sleeping on the left side during pregnancy can cause the fetus to deform?Doctor's answer:
Hello: The best sleeping position for pregnant women is the left lateral position, especially in the later stages of pregnancy. This is because the left lateral position can reduce 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.For pregnancies with a gestational age of 10 weeks or less, the HCG level in the blood will be accurately determined. Blood tests for this are unrelated to vaginal bleeding. Therefore, you can combine your specific condition and go to the hospital for examination.
