What is the reason why the baby likes to twist to the left when sleeping?

Patient's question:

My baby recently, I found that her left cheek and eye seem smaller than the right cheek and eye, and her neck always prefers to tilt to the left. The left shoulder also seems shorter than the right shoulder, and her left arm seems less flexible when moving than the right arm. What could be the reason for this? What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

If you fall asleep, half of your face will be small, but your neck will not be flexible. Generally speaking, if you choose to sleep on your left side, the fetus's movements will be very frequent, which may be related to the fetus being somewhat compressed. At the same time, if there are no abnormalities when lying down, we can choose to lie down temporarily for further observation. It is important to rest, enhance nutrition, and have regular follow-up check-ups at the hospital. It is best to have a check-up at the hospital.
