Daily health care for pregnant mothers in the 33rd week of pregnancy

The best sleeping position in late pregnancy: It is best for pregnant mothers in late pregnancy to have a 2-hour nap at noon every day, but do not sleep for too long, so as not to affect your sleep at night. Studies have shown that the earth\’s magnetic field has a certain impact on the sleep of pregnant mothers. Pregnant mothers sleep more soundly and sweetly with their heads west and feet east than in other directions, and the teratogenic rate for babies is relatively small. After 20 weeks of pregnancy, the uterus is increasing day by day, and there is a sigmoid colon on the left side of the pelvic cavity, causing the enlarged uterus to rotate right to varying degrees. The enlarged uterus compresses the abdominal aorta, reduces the pressure of the uterine artery, affects the blood supply to the uterus and fetus, and increases the pressure of the inferior vena artery and veins, leading to perineal varicose veins and lower limb edema. Lying on the left side can reduce the pressure on the abdominal aorta, improve the blood flow of the pregnant mother\’s heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys, ensure smooth blood flow to the placenta, and supply blood to the fetus. Therefore, it is best for pregnant mothers to sleep on their left side during the third trimester of pregnancy. Why does heartburn occur in late pregnancy? In the third trimester of pregnancy, pregnant mothers no longer have early pregnancy reactions and their appetite is better. However, after every meal, they always feel a burning sensation in the stomach. Sometimes the burning sensation gradually worsens and becomes burning pain, especially at night. Heartburn is uncomfortable and can even affect your sleep. This type of heartburn usually appears in the third trimester and goes away after delivery.

Acid reflux stimulates pain receptors in the lower esophagus, causing a burning sensation. In addition, the huge uterus and fetus during pregnancy put greater pressure on the stomach, which slows down gastric emptying and causes gastric juice to stay in the stomach for a long time, which can also easily cause gastric acid to reflux into the lower esophagus. In order to relieve and prevent heartburn, you should avoid overeating in your daily diet, eat less high-fat foods, and avoid eating heavy-flavored or fried foods, which will increase the burden on the stomach. Drinking a glass of hot milk before going to bed is a good way to relieve heartburn. A special reminder is not to take drugs to treat indigestion without your doctor\’s consent. Why Asthma in Late Pregnancy: After 7 months of pregnancy, the enlarged uterus causes the diaphragm to rise and compress the chest cavity, causing the pregnant mother to have difficulty breathing. When the pregnant mother exerts herself to do things or even speaks, she will feel out of breath. One month before delivery, when the fetus\’ head enters the pelvis, the asthma will slowly ease. In addition, anemia can also cause asthma. When pregnant mothers feel asthmatic, they should get more rest and add an extra pillow when sleeping at night. If you feel short of breath while walking up the stairs, it may help to squat down and hold the handrail of the stairs. What is the cause of urinary leakage in late pregnancy? Urine leaks when a pregnant mother laughs, coughs, or sneezes. This is caused by weakness of the pelvic floor muscles and pressure on the bladder by the growing fetus. The best solution is to urinate frequently and try to control water and salt levels. Perform regular pelvic floor muscle exercises, prevent constipation, and avoid lifting heavy objects. If you have pain when urinating or your urine is cloudy, seek medical attention promptly. Due to the increase in secretions during pregnancy, it is easy to cause local infection of the vulva, making the bladder and urethra threatened by bacteria. At this time, you should pay attention to cleaning the anus with clean water after defecation.
