Patient's question:
Now I'm seven months pregnant. When I take naps in the evening, I often sleep on my side, and it always presses on half of my belly. Sometimes I feel contractions, and I'm wondering if this will harm the fetus? A few days ago, a child hit my stomach, and I'm worried if it will cause the fetus to develop birthmarks.Doctor's answer:
At seven months pregnant, it's best to sleep on your side when taking a nap. This is a good position. I suggest you stabilize your sleeping position, as sleeping on your stomach is not good for pregnant women. The above advice is for the question "Now I'm seven months pregnant and often sleep sideways or on my stomach at night—is this a problem?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
